Side VIP Quad Safari Tour Itinerary

Morning: Hotel Pick-Up and Safety Briefing

The day begins with a hotel pick-up around 09:00 from hotels in the Side area. You will be transferred to the quad safari starting point, where professional instructors welcome you.

Before the ride begins, a detailed safety briefing is provided. You will learn how to operate the quad bikes, understand hand signals used during the tour, and receive essential safety instructions. Protective helmets are provided, and guides ensure everyone feels confident before starting.

First Stop: Manavgat Waterfall

The adventure begins with an exciting off-road ride toward the famous Manavgat Waterfall. Known for its wide cascade and peaceful surroundings, this natural landmark is one of the most visited attractions in the region.

Here, you will have time to walk around, relax, and take photos of the waterfall and surrounding greenery. This stop offers a refreshing break and a chance to connect with nature.

Historical Exploration: Seleukeia Ancient City

Next, the tour continues to the ruins of Seleukeia Ancient City, also known as Lyrbe. Hidden among pine forests, this ancient settlement dates back thousands of years and offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s past.

Explore the remains of city walls, temples, streets, and structures that reflect Roman-era architecture. Walking through these ruins adds a unique cultural dimension to the quad safari experience.


Midday: Green Canyon and Green Lake

Scenic Views at Green Canyon

After leaving Seleukeia, the route leads toward Green Canyon, one of the most impressive natural areas near Side. Surrounded by steep cliffs and lush vegetation, the canyon offers breathtaking panoramic views.

This stop is ideal for photography and enjoying the calm atmosphere created by the emerald-green waters and mountain scenery.

Boat Ride on Green Lake

One of the highlights of the Side VIP Quad Safari is the boat ride on Green Lake. After parking the quads, you will board a comfortable boat and enjoy a peaceful cruise across the lake.

The boat ride provides a relaxing contrast to the adrenaline-filled quad ride, allowing you to appreciate the silence of nature, the reflections on the water, and the surrounding mountains.

Lakeside Lunch

Following the boat ride, a lakeside lunch is served at a charming restaurant overlooking the water. The menu typically includes grilled fish, chicken, meatballs, fresh salad, and side dishes.

This meal break allows you to rest, recharge, and enjoy the serene environment before continuing the adventure.


Afternoon: Swimming and Off-Road Return

Swimming Break

After lunch, there is time for a swimming break in clean, refreshing waters. Swimming is optional, and guests can also relax by the lake or enjoy the views.

This break is especially refreshing during the warmer months and adds to the overall enjoyment of the tour.

Return Off-Road Safari

The final part of the tour takes you back toward Side through different off-road trails. This section allows you to fully enjoy the quad bikes once more while passing through scenic countryside, forest paths, and rugged terrain.

Guides ensure a steady pace, making the ride enjoyable and safe for all participants.

If you're looking for a day jam-packed with adventure and stunning views, Side VIP Quad Safari is the way to go! It's the perfect mix of thrill and chill. My family loved buzzing through the trails on those beastly quad bikes and the scenic boat ride on Green Lake was super relaxing after all the action. The kids couldn't stop talking about the waterfalls. Would highly recommend it for families wanting more than just beach time!

What a day! This tour let us dive into nature and have some serious fun on those quads. It was great for our whole family – even my usually grumpy teen couldn't stop smiling. Riding along the trails and splashing in waterfalls was something else. Don’t skip the swim in Green Lake!
