Off-road adventure right beside Kumköy
Kumköy is the laid-back beach village just west of Side, with a long sandy shore and easygoing pace, and Sunis Kumköy Beach sits close to the sand. Turn your back on the sea, though, and the Taurus foothills rise up with dust, pine and rutted trails. That is where our buggies live, and we ferry you straight from the resort to the action so you never have to work out the route yourself. The short hop inland is all it takes to leave the beach behind.
What a two-seat buggy safari is like
You settle into a caged two-seater, fasten your belt and pull on a helmet, then roll out behind the guide once the briefing is done. The route mixes dry forest tracks with slippery mud pits and shallow streams you power through, spray flying in every direction. Each section has its own character, so the ride never feels repetitive.
- Off-road forest trails in the hills behind Kumköy and Side
- Mud sections and shallow water crossings on the way
- Two riders per buggy, swapping the driver's seat as you go
- A guide up front and a support crew watching the group
All the essentials are included
Book once and everything is taken care of, with nothing extra to organise on the day:
- Free hotel transfer both ways from Sunis Kumköy Beach
- Helmet, roll cage and seatbelts as standard
- Practical safety briefing before you drive
- Guide and insurance for the entire ride
Expect mud, plan accordingly
Water and mud are half the fun here, so dress to get dirty. Old clothes, closed shoes and sunglasses work best, and a change of clothes for the ride back to Kumköy will keep your resort seat clean.
Good for beginners and families
You do not need any driving skill to enjoy this trip. First-timers get comfortable within minutes of the briefing, and families can ride together, with younger children secured beside an adult rather than driving solo. It is an easy way for a group of different ages to share the same adventure without anyone feeling left out.
Just a free pick-up point
For clarity, we are an independent operator with no partnership or affiliation with the hotel. We offer free pick-up from Sunis Kumköy Beach purely because it is an easy, well-known meeting point for guests in Kumköy.
Reserve your adventure
The tour departing from this pick-up is the Side Buggy Safari, our flagship off-road run in the Taurus foothills. If you are staying at Sunis Kumköy Beach and want dust, mud and a proper adrenaline hit, book your seats and we will handle the logistics.
