Quick answer: there are four combo days from Side, and they run from €30 to €49 per adult. Rafting + Quad is €30, Rafting + Buggy is €35, the 3-in-1 with a zipline is €38 (quad or buggy, your choice) and the 4-in-1 with the Tazı Canyon viewpoint is €49. All four include free hotel pick-up and drop-off, a safety briefing, a supervised test drive and a helmet, and all four are booked free online and paid on the day at our base.
Individual guides for each of those days already exist. This page is the chooser: the table below puts the whole family side by side, and under it there is a short "pick this if…" note for every option, plus the half-day answer if a full day out is more than you want.
The four Side combo tours, side by side
| Combo | Machine | Extras in the day | Duration | Adult | Child | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rafting + Quad | Quad — single-rider ATV | Rafting | About 7 hours | €30 | €18 | The most adventure per euro |
| Rafting + Buggy | Buggy — two-seat side-by-side | Rafting | About 7 hours | €35 | €21 | Couples and parents who want to share the cockpit |
| 3-in-1 | Quad or buggy — your choice | Rafting and zipline | About 8 hours | €38 | €23 | Three different thrills in one day |
| 4-in-1 | Quad or buggy — your choice | Rafting, zipline and Tazı Canyon | About 8 hours | €49 | €29 | The biggest day, scenery as well as adrenaline |
Prices are per person, infants go free, and nothing is charged at the moment you book. Whichever line you land on, the day starts with a free pick-up from your hotel and ends with a drop-off at the same door.
Pick Rafting + Quad if you want the most adventure per euro
At €30 for adults and €18 for children, this is the cheapest way to turn a hotel day into a full mountain day. A quad is a single-rider machine: handlebar throttle, no steering wheel, and you steer as much with your body weight as with your hands. If someone in your group would rather not drive, they can sit belted behind a driver instead. Full detail on the day is on the Rafting and Quad Safari tour page.
Choose it if: you are travelling with friends, everyone wants their own machine, and the budget matters more than the extras.
Pick Rafting + Buggy if you would rather share the cockpit
€35 for adults, €21 for children, same seven-hour shape as the quad version. A buggy is a two-seater side-by-side with a steering wheel, a roll cage and seat belts, so the person next to you is properly part of the ride rather than a passenger hanging on behind. That is what the extra €5 buys. See the Rafting and Buggy Safari day for the run-through.
Choose it if: you are a couple, or a parent riding with a child old enough to be belted in beside you, and you like the idea of a windscreen and a cage between you and the dust.
Still torn purely between the two machines rather than the two days? Our quad safari page and buggy safari page compare them properly.
Pick the 3-in-1 if you want a zipline in the mix
€38 for adults, €23 for children, around eight hours, and you choose quad or buggy when you book — the price is the same either way. The third element is a zipline: a short, high cable ride across the valley, over in a couple of minutes but usually the bit people talk about at dinner. We have written the whole day out step by step in our 3-in-1 day explained.
Choose it if: you want variety rather than more of one thing, and the €8 gap over Rafting + Quad feels like fair money for a third activity.
Pick the 4-in-1 if you want Tazı Canyon as well
€49 for adults, €29 for children, the longest day we run at around eight hours. It stacks the Tazı Canyon stop on top of the rafting, the zipline and your quad or buggy — a high viewpoint over the canyon in the Taurus, which is the one part of the day that is about looking rather than doing. It is the trip to book if you would otherwise spend a separate day chasing that view. Details are on the 4-in-1 tour page.
Choose it if: this is your one big excursion of the holiday and you would rather do everything once than pick two things twice.
Not sure a full day is for you? Take the half-day instead
Every combo above is a whole day: transfer, briefing, rafting, riding, breaks, transfer back. If that eats too much of a short holiday, the honest answer is that you do not need a combo at all. The half-day Side quad safari is €25 for about three hours and the Side buggy safari is €30 for about four hours, both with the same free transfer, briefing, test drive and helmet, and both leaving you the rest of the day at the beach. Kumköy quad safari is €30 for three hours if you are staying that side. We compare the two formats in short safari or full-day combo, and the whole line-up sits on our tours page.
What every combo day includes
- Free hotel pick-up and drop-off, morning or afternoon
- Safety briefing before anyone starts an engine
- Supervised test drive so our guides can see how you handle the machine
- Helmet
- Free changing cabins and showers at our base — you will want them
Sold separately at the base, if you want them: protective goggles, bandanas, food and drinks, and our professional photo and video service.
Who drives and who rides
Drivers are 16 and over, with ID at the base. Passengers can be 6 and over, securely belted. Beyond the age line it is skill-based, not paperwork-based: the supervised test drive decides. If you handle the machine confidently you drive it; if you do not feel comfortable, you ride as a belted passenger and lose none of the day. Nobody is pushed onto a machine they do not want.
Practical notes before you book
- Pick-up is morning or afternoon; the exact time is confirmed when your booking is confirmed
- Maximum 40 guests per departure, with guides riding front and back of the convoy
- The route runs on forest tracks in the Taurus foothills behind Side — dust, mud pits and water-splash stops are the point, so wear clothes you do not mind ruining and bring a change
- Booking online is free; you pay at the base on the day of the tour
FAQ
Which Side combo tour is the best value?
Rafting + Quad at €30 per adult is the cheapest full day, and the €5 step up to Rafting + Buggy is the smallest upgrade you can make. If you count activities per euro, the 4-in-1 at €49 gives you the most in one go.
Can children join a combo tour?
Yes, as passengers from age 6, securely belted. Child prices run from €18 on Rafting + Quad to €29 on the 4-in-1, and infants are free. Children do not drive — driving starts at 16 with ID at the base.
Can I choose quad or buggy on the 3-in-1 and 4-in-1?
Yes. Both of those days are sold at one price with either machine, so pick the one you actually want to drive rather than the one that looks cheaper.
How much of the day am I actually riding?
Roughly 1.5 to 2 hours in the saddle or the seat. The rest of the seven or eight hours is transfer, briefing, the rafting section, the other activities and the breaks between them.
Do I pay anything when I book online?
No. Booking is free and you pay at our base on the day of the tour. Extras such as goggles, bandanas, food, drinks and the photo and video service are also paid there.
