Quad & Jeep Safari Combo: Two Off-Road Machines, One Dusty Day in the Taurus
Some days one set of wheels simply isn't enough. Our Quad & Jeep Safari Combo hands you two very different off-road experiences back to back in the pine-covered foothills of the Taurus Mountains, inland from the Antalya coast. First you take control of your own single-seat quad (ATV) and blast along dusty forest tracks, splashing through mud and shallow water crossings under your own steam. Then you swap the throttle for a seat in a rugged Taurus jeep, letting a driver haul you up rocky mountain switchbacks to viewpoints and villages you'd never reach on a quad. It's the perfect pairing for anyone who wants both the hands-on thrill of driving and the sit-back-and-soak-it-in ride of a mountain safari.
Because this is a tailored pairing, it's worth being straight with you from the start: this combo is arranged on request. The quad safari and the Taurus jeep safari are both established, ready-to-run experiences, but we bring them together specifically for you depending on the day and how the two schedules line up. Get in touch when you book and we'll sort out the logistics so the two halves of your day flow together neatly.
What the Day Feels Like
Your adventure begins with a free hotel pick-up. A driver collects you in the morning and runs you out of the resort strip and into the greener, dustier world of the Taurus foothills. There's no pre-dawn scramble and no fixed clock to memorise — we work in mornings and afternoons rather than exact minute-by-minute times, and you'll be dropped back at your hotel a few hours later once both adventures are done.
At the quad base, nobody is thrown in at the deep end. Every ride starts with a proper safety briefing and a practice lap around a warm-up area, so you get a real feel for the throttle, the brake and the steering before you tackle the trail. A lead guide sets the pace out front, keeping the group together, while a sweep guide follows at the back so no one is ever left behind. You ride your own quad the whole way — no sharing, no passenger seat, just you and the machine.
The trails themselves are pure Taurus: dusty forest tracks winding between pines, cheeky patches of mud, and shallow water crossings that throw up a satisfying splash. Expect to get gloriously dirty. When the quad leg winds down, many rides finish with a good-natured water fight — a brilliant way to wash off the dust and cool down under the Antalya sun.
Then comes the jeep. Where the quad is all about your own control on the flatter forest tracks, the Taurus jeep safari climbs higher and rougher. You'll rattle up mountain roads, pause at panoramic viewpoints over the valleys, and pass through quiet mountain villages with their orchards and springs. It's a completely different rhythm — slower, wider-reaching, more scenic — and it's exactly why the two work so well together.
Two Machines, Two Kinds of Thrill
- The quad leg: hands-on driving, forest tracks, mud, shallow water crossings and a water fight to finish.
- The jeep leg: a driven mountain safari climbing higher into the Taurus for views, villages and rougher terrain.
- Together: the adrenaline of steering your own ATV plus the reach and scenery of a proper mountain expedition — arranged around each other on request.
Who It's For — and Yes, Beginners Too
This combo suits couples, friends and active families who don't want to choose between driving and sightseeing. You do not need any previous experience to ride the quad — the briefing and practice lap are built exactly for first-timers, and the guides ride at a pace the whole group can handle. Nobody is turned away. If you can control the vehicle safely you drive it yourself, and if the guides judge otherwise on the day you ride the same route as a passenger, same price. If you've never touched an ATV in your life, you'll still be grinning within the first few minutes.
The quad is a single-seat machine, so each rider needs to be old enough and confident enough to operate their own throttle and brakes — if you're travelling with younger children, get in touch and we'll advise on how best to arrange the day for your group. The jeep leg, being a driven ride, is far more relaxed and welcomes riders of all ages who are happy on bumpy mountain roads.
If you're weighing up your options, our standalone Side quad safari is a great starting point to understand the quad half of this day, while the water-lovers among you might also fancy the quad, canyoning and rafting combo for a wetter, splashier alternative.
What to Wear and Bring
The golden rule of any off-road day is simple: wear clothes you don't mind ruining. Dust, mud and water are all part of the fun, so leave your best outfit at the hotel.
- Closed-toe trainers or trekking shoes — never sandals or flip-flops.
- Older shorts or trousers and a T-shirt you're happy to get filthy.
- A full change of clothes and a towel for afterwards — you will be wet and muddy.
- Sunglasses (goggles are provided, but sunglasses help on the jeep leg), sun cream and a hat for the viewpoints.
- A little cash for drinks, snacks or souvenirs at the stops.
- A waterproof pouch or case if you want to bring a phone or camera near the water fight.
We provide the essential safety kit — helmets and goggles for the quad leg — so you don't need to bring your own.
Safety and Gear
Off-road adventure and sensible safety go hand in hand. Beyond the mandatory helmet and goggles, the briefing and practice lap make sure every rider understands the controls before hitting the trail. The lead-and-sweep guide format means there's always someone in front setting a safe, steady pace and someone behind keeping an eye on stragglers. On the jeep leg, experienced Taurus drivers handle the rough mountain roads so you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Follow your guides, ride within your comfort zone, and the day stays as safe as it is exhilarating.
Free Pick-Up, Best Price and No Prepayment
We keep booking refreshingly simple and low-risk. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are completely free across the main Antalya resort areas — you don't need to organise your own transport to a distant meeting point.
You'll always get the best price by booking direct with us rather than through a middleman, and there's no prepayment required. Reserve your spot free online, and simply pay the guide on the day. Because this combo is tailored and arranged on request, the exact live price depends on how the day is put together — message us and we'll confirm it clearly before anything is locked in. No hidden extras, no pressure to pay up front.
Quick Questions Before You Book
Do I need experience or a licence? No experience needed. The safety briefing and practice lap are designed for complete beginners, and you'll build confidence within minutes. Nobody is turned away over paperwork. Whoever can handle the vehicle confidently drives it, and everyone else covers the identical route as a passenger, for the same price.
Is this a fixed off-the-shelf tour? Not quite — the quad and jeep safaris are both real, established experiences, but this particular pairing is arranged on request around the day's schedule, so please get in touch to set it up.
How long does it take? Plan for the best part of a day between the two experiences and the transfers. Durations are approximate — we run in mornings and afternoons rather than to a rigid clock.
Will I get wet and muddy? Almost certainly, and that's the whole point. Bring a change of clothes and a towel.
How far out is it? The trails and mountain roads sit inland in the Taurus foothills, around an hour or so from the coastal resorts depending on where you're staying.
