From Kaptan Hotel's seafront to the trails
Kaptan Hotel looks out over Alanya's coast, within reach of the marina and the harbour promenade. That waterfront setting is a relaxed place to start the day, but the adventure lies inland. We collect you at the door, cruise out of town in an air-conditioned vehicle and climb into the pine-scented Taurus foothills, where a line of buggies is waiting on the dirt.
The two-seat buggy experience
These are genuine off-road buggies with a steel roll cage, seatbelts and chunky all-terrain tyres. Two people share one buggy for a single price, so you can trade the driver's seat with your travel partner, or a child can ride buckled in safely beside a parent. Behind your guide you tackle a marked route of rutted tracks, dry stream crossings and dusty straights where you can open the throttle a little and feel the buggy dig in through the loose ground.
What is included
- Free pickup and drop-off at Kaptan Hotel
- Helmet and a full safety briefing before you set off
- Roll cage, seatbelts and a guide leading the convoy
- Activity insurance
Coastal views from the hills
The higher you climb, the wider the view opens behind you, with the Mediterranean stretching along the Alanya shoreline and the Taurus ridges folding away inland. It gets dusty and there is often water to splash through, so choose old clothes and closed shoes and pack sunglasses to shield your eyes.
Easy to plan around
Since transfers are handled from Kaptan Hotel, you simply need to be ready in the lobby. We tell you whether your slot is a morning or afternoon one at the time of booking, which makes it easy to fit around beach time or a walk to the castle. Groups of friends, couples and families all get on well with the format, and because two people share each buggy, a more cautious rider can ride shotgun first and swap in once the trail feels familiar.
What to bring
- Closed shoes and clothes you are happy to get dusty
- Sunglasses and sunscreen for the exposed trails
- A spare top if you fancy the water sections
Reserve the Alanya buggy safari
From Kaptan Hotel we recommend the Alanya Buggy Safari Adventure. It departs from the nearest Alanya base and includes your free transfer, helmet, briefing, guide and insurance, with no licence needed. Book your spots and simply show up at the lobby.
