Premium Private Buggy Combo Days, Built Around Your Group
Some days out shouldn't be squeezed into somebody else's timetable. A premium private buggy combo is exactly that: a tailored off-road adventure near Side and Manavgat where your group gets its own two-seat buggy safari paired with the water and canyon activities you choose, arranged on request rather than pulled off a shelf. No sharing your day with strangers, no rigid mould, no prepayment. You tell us what your group wants, we build the day around it, and you pay the guide on the day at the best price direct.
Because these days are put together for you, there's no single fixed itinerary and no fixed price we can quote here. Everything below describes how a premium combo can be arranged. The final shape, timings and price are confirmed when you enquire, based on your group size, ages and the mix of activities you'd like.
What a Private Combo Day Can Include
The heart of every combo is the buggy safari itself. From there, you pick the add-ons. The most popular pairings we arrange on request are:
- Buggy plus white-water rafting on the Köprüçay river in the Köprülü Canyon — grade II-III water, fed by cold Taurus snowmelt, thrilling but beginner-friendly.
- Buggy plus a canyon zipline — a fast flight across the gorge for a jolt of height and speed between the dust and the water.
- Buggy plus the Tazı Canyon — the dramatic "Eagle's Canyon" viewpoint high above the river, one of the region's most photographed spots.
- Buggy plus a Taurus jeep safari — swap the driver's seat for a mountain 4x4 run through pine forest and village back-roads.
Want two or three of these in one private day? That's what a premium combo is for. If your group fancies buggy, rafting and a canyon stop all together, we'll arrange it as a full day including transfers and let you know what's realistic for your numbers and the season. For a self-contained multi-stage buggy day you might also look at our buggy 4-in-1 adventure, and for the pure off-road experience there's the classic Side buggy safari.
The Buggy Part: Two People, One Machine
Every buggy is a two-seat, side-by-side off-road machine with a roll cage and seatbelts. Two people share one buggy and take turns driving, so nobody is left out — one drives, one rides shotgun, then you swap at a stop. It's genuinely part of the fun, and it's why buggies suit couples, friends and families so well.
You'll get a proper safety briefing and a practice lap before the trail, so first-timers find their feet in a safe spot before things get dusty. The trails wind through the Taurus foothills on dirt and mud tracks with splashy water crossings — expect to get gloriously filthy. No licence is needed and helmets and gear are provided. Because it's a private booking, the pace can flex to your group: gentler for families with younger drivers, or full-throttle if you're all after a soaking.
The Water and Canyon Add-Ons
The rafting leg runs on the Köprüçay through the Köprülü Canyon. It's grade II-III — enough white water to get the adrenaline going, calm enough for complete beginners. Your raft guide handles the technical bits; you paddle, whoop and enjoy the scenery. The water is cold snowmelt, so it's bracing even in high summer.
The zipline sends you flying across the canyon on a steel cable, a short sharp thrill that photographs brilliantly. The Tazı Canyon stop trades speed for jaw-dropping height, with viewing points looking straight down into the gorge. A jeep safari add-on covers more ground through forest and villages, a good choice if some of your group would rather ride than drive.
Who a Premium Combo Suits
Private combo days work best for groups who want their own space and a bespoke plan: families wanting to mix a gentle buggy pace with a big-ticket thrill, groups of friends chasing several activities in one go, couples marking a special occasion, or small parties celebrating a birthday or stag/hen trip. If you've a mix of ages and appetites — some keen on rafting, others happier ziplining or riding in a jeep — a tailored day lets everyone get what they came for.
Because it's arranged on request, be honest with us about ages, swimming confidence, mobility and how adventurous your group really is. That lets us build a day that's exciting without over-reaching.
What to Bring
- Clothes and closed-toe shoes you don't mind ruining — buggies and rafting both mean mud and water.
- A full change of dry clothes and a towel for after the water activities.
- Swimwear under your clothes for the rafting leg.
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat for the drive and viewpoints.
- A secured or waterproof phone/camera — the scenery is superb but water and dust are unforgiving.
- Any personal medication, plus a little cash for snacks, photos or drinks along the way.
Free Hotel Pickup
Pickup from your hotel is included right across the Side and Manavgat area, and usually the wider Antalya coast too — tell us where you're staying when you enquire. Collection is in the morning for a full-day combo, with a return later in the day; we don't publish exact clock times because they depend on your location and the day we build. As a guide, a private combo day is around a full day including transfers. Your driver-guide confirms your window once the plan is set.

No licence is needed. You get a briefing and a practice lap first, and helmets and gear are provided.

Yes — each buggy seats two, and you take turns driving, swapping at stops so everyone gets a go.
When can we do the rafting and water activities?
