Antalya ATV Quad Safari: Price, What's Included and Is It Worth It

An ATV quad safari from Antalya costs from $50 per person with us, lasts three to four hours including hotel transfers, and needs no previous riding experience. The price covers pick-up from selected Antalya areas, a safety briefing, a short test ride, helmet, fuel and insurance, so the only extras are drinks, photos and anything you buy on the way. It is one of the most booked half-day activities on the Antalya coast, and the question we hear most is whether it is worth half a day of a beach holiday. Here is what the safari involves, how it compares with the boat trips and the Cappadocia version, and who it suits.

How much is an ATV quad safari in Antalya?

Our ATV quad safari starts at $50 per person. That is the price for the activity with round-trip air-conditioned transport, professional instructors, a safety briefing with driving instructions, a test ride before the safari, helmet and safety gear, fuel during the activity and full insurance while you ride. Prices shift a little with the season and the size of the group, so the exact figure for your dates comes by WhatsApp the same day.

When you compare offers on hotel boards and booking sites, check three things. First, whether the transfer is included or you have to make your own way to the track. Second, whether fuel and insurance are in the price, because some cheaper listings charge them on the spot. Third, how long you actually ride compared with the time spent driving to and from the hotel. A three to four hour safari usually means a little over half of that on the quad, depending on how far your hotel is from the trails.

Photos and videos taken by the team are not included, and neither is a bandana or face covering, which is worth having on dry days because the trails throw up a lot of dust. Bring sunglasses and closed shoes.

What happens on the day

The vehicle collects you from your hotel and drives you out of the city to the start point in the countryside. The instructors explain the controls, how to brake, how to keep distance on dusty sections and what the hand signals mean. Then everyone does a short practice ride on flat ground before setting off.

The safari itself follows off-road trails, forest paths and rough country tracks behind an instructor, in a line. The pace is set by the slowest rider, so beginners are not pushed. There are stops for photos and a short break before the ride back to base, and then the transfer returns you to the hotel.

We run the same programme for couples, friends and families, and it works both for people who have never sat on a quad and for those who ride at home. Some quads take two people, which suits couples and a parent with an older child. Age limits for drivers and passengers are set by the operator for safety reasons, so if you travel with children, tell us their ages when you write and we will confirm what is possible.

ATV safari vs boat trip vs a culture day: which half day to book

Most holidaymakers in Antalya end up choosing between three kinds of excursion: something active, a day on a boat, or a day at the ancient sites. They are different things, and the right one depends on who you travel with.

The big advantage of the ATV safari is that it takes half a day, not a whole one. You can ride in the morning and still be at the hotel pool by mid-afternoon. The Kemer Mega Star boat tour with foam party is a full social day on the water, and the Perge, Aspendos and Side tour with the Manavgat waterfall is the classic culture day. If you are torn between several excursions, our guide to Antalya day tours from your hotel sorts them by type of traveller.

If you would rather spend a whole day on the water, our Suluada boat tour from Antalya includes hotel pickup, swim stops at Suluada, the Blue Cave and lunch on board, from $50 per person in the summer season.

Antalya or Cappadocia: where to ride a quad

Many visitors combine Antalya with Cappadocia, and both places sell quad rides. They are not the same experience. In Cappadocia our sunset ATV ride in Red and Rose Valley costs from $49 and lasts about an hour; the point there is the scenery, with fairy chimneys and the valleys turning red at sunset, and dozens of quads often meet on the same ridges at the same time. The Antalya safari is longer and more about the riding itself: forest tracks, dust, mud after rain and pine woods rather than rock formations.

If your trip includes both, do the Cappadocia ride for the view and the Antalya safari for the fun of driving. If you have time for only one, choose by priority: photographs and landscape, Cappadocia; a longer ride and adrenaline, Antalya.

What this means for your trip

For most visitors to Antalya, the ATV safari is the easiest way to add something active to a beach holiday without losing a whole day. It is booked most by couples and groups of friends, and by families with teenagers who have had enough of museums. It is less suited to travellers with back or neck problems, pregnant women and anyone who dislikes dust and noise; for them a boat day or the old town is a better choice.

Season matters less than for most Antalya excursions. The boat trips depend on the sea and mostly stop in the cold months, while the quad trails do not need calm water. Outside summer the trails can be muddy after rain, which some riders enjoy and others do not, so pack clothes you do not mind getting dirty. If you are deciding when to come, our report on the best time to visit Antalya, month by month shows weather and prices across the year.

Book a few days ahead in the summer holidays, when places with hotel transfer fill quickly. In quieter months a day's notice is usually enough.

Questions travellers are asking

How much is a quad safari in Antalya?

A quad safari in Antalya costs from 50 US dollars per person with us, for three to four hours including hotel pick-up and drop-off, instructors, a safety briefing, a test ride, helmet, fuel and insurance, while food, drinks, photos and videos are paid separately on the day if you want them. Prices vary slightly by season and group size.

Do you need a driving licence for an ATV safari in Antalya?

No previous experience is needed for our ATV safari in Antalya, because instructors give a safety briefing and a short practice ride before setting off, but the operator sets the rules on driver age and licences, so tell us who will drive when you book and we will confirm it for you. Passengers can ride with a driver on two-seat quads.

How long is the ATV tour in Antalya?

Our ATV quad safari in Antalya takes three to four hours in total, from the moment the vehicle collects you at your hotel to the drop-off, and that time includes the drive to the trails, the safety briefing, the practice ride, the safari itself with stops and the drive back. It leaves the rest of the day free.

Is the Antalya ATV safari safe for beginners?

Yes, the Antalya ATV safari is designed for beginners as well as experienced riders, with professional instructors, a safety briefing, a test ride on flat ground, helmets and safety equipment, full insurance during the activity and a pace set by the slowest rider in the group. People with back problems or pregnant women should choose a different excursion.

What should I wear for an ATV safari?

Wear closed shoes, light clothes you do not mind getting dusty or muddy, sunglasses and a bandana or scarf to cover your mouth and nose, because the trails throw up a lot of dust in dry weather and mud after rain, while a helmet and other safety equipment are provided. Leave valuables at the hotel.

Can children join the quad safari in Antalya?

Children can often join the quad safari in Antalya as passengers with a parent on a two-seat quad, but the operator sets minimum ages for drivers and passengers for safety reasons, so send us the children's ages on WhatsApp before booking and we will confirm what is possible on your date. Teenagers usually enjoy it most.

Plan it with us

Our Antalya ATV quad safari with hotel transfer costs from $50 per person and takes three to four hours, with free cancellation up to 7 days before. For a full day out, the Antalya old city and Düden waterfalls tour with a boat trip starts from $90, and the Kemer Mega Star boat tour from $75. If your holiday continues to Cappadocia, the sunset ATV ride in Red and Rose Valley from $49 completes the pair.
