There is no buggy start line inside Okurcalar itself, and we will not invent one. What Okurcalar gives you is a free pickup: our driver takes you from your hotel door to our nearest off-road base, where the buggies, helmets and guides are already waiting. Everything after that — the safety briefing, the practice lap, the convoy — is run by us as the operator, not resold to you through an agency.
The terrain behind Okurcalar
Turn inland from the Okurcalar and Türkler strip and the flat resort ground gives way to the Taurus foothills. That is where the trails live. Expect dry forest tracks that hang a wall of dust behind every vehicle, churned mud that holds water long after the last rain, rutted village lanes, and shallow river crossings where the water sloshes over the sills and soaks anyone who hesitates on the throttle. Nothing is paved and nothing is polite. Sessions run in the morning, when the ground is cooler, and in the golden hour before sunset, when the dust turns copper in the low light.
Two seats, one steel cage
A buggy is not a quad. It is a two-seat side-by-side machine with a steel roll cage over your heads, seatbelts, and a car-style steering wheel and pedals — so if you can drive a car, the controls will already feel familiar. Sharing the cab is the whole point: you talk, you shout, you laugh at the same mud wall instead of riding it alone.
One adult drives. The second seat carries a partner, a friend or a child — just confirm your child's age when you reserve so we seat them properly. No driving licence and no off-road experience are required, and ability, not paperwork, decides who takes the wheel. Anyone who does not feel confident behind it rides as a passenger for exactly the same money.
How the session runs
- Free hotel pickup in Okurcalar at your agreed time, direct to our base.
- Helmets and goggles handed out and fitted before anything moves.
- Full safety briefing: controls, hand signals, spacing, water crossings.
- A practice lap on open ground so you find the brakes before the trail finds you.
- The convoy rolls out behind a professional off-road guide who sets the pace to the slowest driver in the group.
- Accident insurance is included, and photo stops are built into the route.
- Transfer back to your Okurcalar hotel when the dust settles.
Free pickup from Okurcalar, Türkler, Avsallar and Alanya
Door-to-door transfer is free and covers the whole western Alanya coast — Okurcalar, Türkler and Avsallar, central Alanya, and further west through Side, Manavgat, Boğazkent, Belek and Kemer. Tell us your hotel name when you reserve and we handle the rest; you do not need a taxi, a rental car or a hotel desk agent to get to the start.
Make it a full day
Plenty of guests from Okurcalar pair the buggy with white-water rafting in Köprülü Canyon. The 3-in-1 adds a zipline over the gorge, and the 4-in-1 brings in the Tazı Canyon viewpoint — one pickup, one guide, one price settled on the day.
