The 3-in-1 tour in Side is our biggest quad day: guided river rafting in Köprülü Canyon, a zipline over the river and a guided quad safari, packed into one programme of roughly 8 hours door to door. The price is €38 per adult and €23 per child — infants join free — and free hotel transfer from the Side area is included. Booking online is free and you pay on the day of the tour, with no prepayment.
Here is what happens on each leg, who gets to drive, and how the 3-in-1 compares with our shorter quad tours.
What exactly is the 3-in-1?
The Rafting + Zipline + Quad 3-in-1 tour bundles three activities into one organised day with a single pickup and a single price. We collect you from your hotel in the morning or afternoon slot agreed at booking, and the day moves from the river to the zipline to the quad trails in the Taurus foothills behind Side. One booking covers transfers, safety briefings, helmets and the professional guides who stay with your group all day.
The three legs, one by one
Leg 1 — guided rafting in Köprülü Canyon
The day starts on the water with a guided rafting run through Köprülü Canyon. Professional guides lead every raft, so no rafting experience is expected: you listen to the briefing, follow the guide's calls and take in the canyon scenery between splashes.
Leg 2 — zipline over the river
Next comes the zipline — a cable flight across the river. It lasts only moments, yet for many guests it is the highlight — you are securely clipped in and sent across.
Leg 3 — quad safari with briefing and test drive
The finale is our home ground. At the base you get a safety briefing from our guides and a supervised test drive before the ride begins. Then the convoy heads out over forest tracks and dusty trails, through mud pits and water-splash stops. A quad is a single-rider ATV, so you are in full control of your own machine. Departures are capped at 40 guests, with guides at the front and back of the group.
Who drives, who rides along
Driving starts at 16, with photo ID shown at the base. We keep the rule skill-based rather than paper-based: the supervised test drive decides. Handle the quad confidently and you drive; if not, you join as a passenger and miss none of the day. Passengers ride from age 6, securely belted. Prefer to share one machine? Look at the buggy version of the 3-in-1 — same day, same €38, in a two-seater side-by-side with a roll cage and seat belts.
How the 3-in-1 compares with our other quad days
| Tour | Adult / child | Duration | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Quad ATV Safari | €25 / €15 | ~3 hours | The quickest adrenaline fix |
| Rafting + Quad combo | €30 / €18 | ~7 hours | River plus riding, no zipline |
| Rafting + Zipline + Quad 3-in-1 | €38 / €23 | ~8 hours | The complete adventure day |
| Rafting + Zipline + Buggy 3-in-1 | €38 / €23 | ~8 hours | The same day in a two-seater |
Read the table as an upgrade path. For €13 more than the 3-hour quad safari you add a full rafting descent and the zipline; for €8 more than the 7-hour rafting and quad combo you add the zipline and a longer day. Our combo tours overview lists every multi-activity day we run, and the rafting and quad combo day guide walks through the 7-hour version step by step.
Who should book the 3-in-1
- First-time visitors who want river, air and off-road ticked off in a single day instead of three separate bookings.
- Mixed groups: confident drivers take a quad, everyone else rafts, ziplines and rides as a passenger — nobody sits anything out.
- Guests already comparing the rafting + quad combo who decide the zipline is worth the extra €8.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience to drive the quad?
No. Every driver completes the safety briefing and a supervised test drive at the base, and that test drive decides who drives. Drivers must be 16 or over with ID; anyone who prefers not to drive joins as a passenger.
Can children join the 3-in-1 tour?
Yes. Children take part as passengers from age 6, securely belted, at the child price of €23; infants join free.
What should I bring for the day?
A complete change of clothes — you will get wet on the river and dusty or muddy on the trails. Changing cabins and showers at the base are included; goggles, bandanas, food, drinks and the photo and video service are paid extras.
Is the buggy version the same price?
Yes — €38 per adult and €23 per child over the same roughly 8-hour day. The difference is the machine: the quad is a single-rider ATV you steer alone; the buggy is a two-seater side-by-side with a roll cage and seat belts, ideal for sharing.
Do I have to pay anything in advance?
No. Online booking is free and there is no prepayment — you pay on the day of the tour.
