Quick answer: The rafting and quad safari combo in Side packs two adventures into one 7-hour day: a guided white-water rafting session in Köprülü Canyon, then a full guided quad safari through the Taurus foothills behind Side. The price is €30 per adult and €18 per child, infants join free, and free hotel transfer is included. Booking online costs nothing — you reserve your seats now and pay on the day of the tour.
How the Combo Day Works
This is a full-day trip, so the structure stays refreshingly simple: we pick you up, you spend the day between river and dirt track, and we drop you back at your hotel. Your exact pickup time is confirmed at booking, and the free transfer covers Side centre, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Sorgun and Titreyengöl.
- Pickup: our driver collects you from your hotel at the time confirmed in your booking.
- Rafting leg: a guided river rafting session in Köprülü Canyon — you paddle as a team while professional guides steer the descent.
- Quad leg: at our safari base you get a safety briefing and a supervised test drive, then around 1.5–2 hours of genuine off-road riding: forest tracks, dust clouds, mud pits and water-splash stops.
- Return: rinse off in the showers, change in the cabins at our base, and relax on the ride back.
One tip beats all others: bring a complete change of clothes. Between the river and the mud pits, staying dry is simply not on the programme.
Why One Combo Beats Two Separate Bookings
You could do rafting one day and a quad tour another — but then you use two holiday days, wait for two transfers, and pay more overall. The combo compresses everything: one pickup, one day, two very different kinds of adrenaline.
The numbers make the case on their own. Our Side quad ATV safari costs €25 as a stand-alone tour; for €5 more, the combo adds an entire guided rafting session in Köprülü Canyon to the same day.
| Tour | Duration | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Quad ATV Safari | ~3 hours | €25 | €15 |
| Rafting + Quad Safari Combo | ~7 hours | €30 | €18 |
| Rafting + Buggy Safari Combo | ~7 hours | €35 | €21 |
| 3-in-1: Rafting + Zipline + Quad | ~8 hours | €38 | €23 |
Still weighing the two activities against each other? Our honest comparison of rafting or quad safari in Side goes deeper — though many readers finish it and choose "both" anyway.

Who the Combo Day Suits
Couples, groups of friends and active families are the core crowd. For the quad leg the rules are skill-based rather than paperwork-based: driving starts from age 16 with ID shown at our base, and younger guests from age 6 join as passengers, securely belted in. What really decides who drives is the supervised test drive — our guides watch every rider on the practice run, and anyone who does not feel fully in control simply continues as a passenger and enjoys exactly the same trail.
Prefer sitting side by side in a two-seater with a roll cage and seat belts? The same day exists as a rafting and buggy safari combo at €35 per adult and €21 per child.
Practical Info at a Glance
Included in the €30 / €18 price:
- Free hotel pick-up and drop-off
- Safety briefing by professional guides and a supervised test drive
- Helmet for the quad section
- Guided rafting in Köprülü Canyon
- Changing cabins and showers at our base
Optional extras you can add on the spot: goggles, bandanas, food and drinks, and our photo/video service — worth considering, since holding a phone in a mud pit rarely ends well. Departures stay controlled too: a maximum of 40 guests per departure, with guides riding at the front and the back of the convoy.
