Off-road adventure from Sunis Kumköy Beach
Sunis Kumköy Beach sits in Kumköy, the resort strip just west of Side, a short hop from the sea and only a quick transfer from open country. It is an ideal base if you want a jolt of adventure between beach days. We are not affiliated with the hotel in any way; we simply offer guests staying there free pick-up and drop-off so you can reach the trail without organising your own ride. After collection we run you to the nearest quad base in the hills behind the coast.
The trail from Kumköy
This is honest off-road terrain. From the base you climb into the Taurus foothills on dusty forest tracks, splash through shallow river crossings and grind over muddy, rutted stretches that make it feel like a real expedition. Every rider gets their own quad, so the throttle is yours to control as you follow the guide.
Included in the quad safari
- Free pick-up and drop-off at Sunis Kumköy Beach
- Your own quad per rider
- Helmet, goggles and safety briefing
- Practice lap before the trail
- Experienced guide leading the route
- Insurance for the ride
Total beginners welcome
No driving licence and no previous quad time are needed. The team runs you through the controls, you take a practice lap on flat ground, and only then do you head out onto the trail behind the guide. Wear clothes and shoes you do not mind getting dusty and splashed, since the mud and river crossings are a big part of the fun.
Easy logistics from Kumköy
Pick-up is set for either a morning or an afternoon session depending on availability, so we confirm your timing rather than promise an exact clock time here. Kumköy's short distance to open country makes the transfer quick, and you are dropped back at Sunis Kumköy Beach when the ride is done. With door-to-door transport handled for you, there is nothing to arrange beyond turning up at reception on time.
What to bring along
Dress for a mucky good time. Closed shoes give you a proper grip and beat sandals hands down, and a spare set of clothes means you are not padding back into Sunis Kumköy Beach dripping and dusty. The open forest tracks catch the sun, so sun cream plus the goggles you are issued keep you comfortable throughout. Bring only small essentials that lock into a zipped pocket and leave anything precious at the hotel, because a quad trail is jolty from start to finish.
The tour to reserve
From Sunis Kumköy Beach, book the City of Side Quad Safari. It is the main off-road route for guests around Side and Kumköy, combining forest tracks, mud and river crossings with a proper base and full support crew.
