Your quad safari, straight from Barut Hemera
Barut Hemera sits right on the Side coastline, a stroll from the beach and the old town's Roman ruins. It is a relaxed base, which makes it the perfect launch pad for a shot of adrenaline. We bring the adventure to your door: our transfer collects you from Barut Hemera and drives you the short distance inland to the nearest off-road base in the Side and Manavgat area, where your quad is fuelled and waiting.
Real off-road, not a car park loop
This is the genuine article. Once the briefing is done you climb the tracks into the Taurus foothills behind Side: packed dirt, loose gravel, forest singletrack and shallow river crossings that throw up a satisfying spray. Expect dust in dry spells and glorious mud after rain. You control your own throttle the whole way, with a guide setting a sensible pace out front and a sweep rider watching the back.
What the ride involves
- Your own quad (ATV) per adult rider
- Forest and mud trails plus shallow river crossings
- A guided convoy with a photo and rest stop
- Helmet, goggles and full briefing before you set off
You do not need to have touched a quad before. The practice lap around the base sorts out the controls, and by the time you hit the trail the machine feels like second nature. The guides keep a close eye on newcomers and are happy to run through anything a second time until you feel settled.
Easy logistics from your hotel
Everything is arranged so all you do is show up. Pickup from Barut Hemera lands either in the morning or the afternoon depending on the session you book, and we always confirm the collection window with you beforehand. After the safari you are driven straight back to the hotel, dusty and grinning. Wear closed shoes and clothes that can take a splash.
