Yes — you can do a buggy safari from Evrenseki, and you don't have to arrange your own way there. Evrenseki has no off-road base of its own, so we collect you free of charge from your hotel or apartment and the convoy departs from our nearest base near Side. From your side it feels like a door-to-door tour: you wait in reception, we arrive, and the driving starts a short ride later.
What the trails behind Evrenseki are like
Evrenseki sits on the flat coastal strip alongside Side and Kumköy, so the adventure is inland. Once the tarmac ends you're into the Taurus foothills: loose dust that hangs in the air behind the buggy in front, rutted forest tracks, sticky mud after rain, and shallow water crossings where the spray comes straight over the bonnet. The trails climb, twist and drop through canyon country rather than running flat and straight, which is why the guide sets the pace instead of the fastest driver in the group.
The two-seat caged buggy
Our buggies are side-by-sides, not single-seat quads. That matters more than most people expect:
- Two seats side by side — a partner, friend or child rides next to you, not behind you, so you share every jump and splash instead of shouting over an engine.
- Steel roll cage and seatbelts on every vehicle.
- Car-style steering wheel and pedals — if you can drive a car, the controls are already familiar.
- Helmets and goggles supplied, plus accident insurance included.
If you're bringing a child, tell us their age when you reserve so we can confirm the seat.
Who drives, and what you actually need
One adult drives; the other seat is a passenger. No driving licence and no off-road experience are required — ability decides, not paperwork. Before the convoy moves, everyone gets a full safety briefing and a practice lap on easy ground, so you find the throttle and brakes with a guide watching. Anyone who doesn't feel confident after that lap simply rides as a passenger for the same money, and couples regularly swap the wheel partway through. Nobody is pushed into driving a machine they don't want to drive.
How the session runs
We pick you up in the morning or in the golden-hour slot before sunset — the late session trades the midday glare for low light on the dust. At the base you're kitted out, briefed and given your practice lap, then the convoy sets off behind a professional off-road guide, with a second guide keeping the tail together. Expect to get filthy: wear clothes and shoes you don't care about, bring a change if you want to look human afterwards, and keep phones in a sealed bag for the water crossings. Prefer more than one adrenaline hit in a day? The same base runs buggy or quad combos with Köprülü Canyon rafting, and 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 versions that add zipline and Tazı Canyon.
