Off-road adventure straight from Trendy Verbena
Trendy Verbena sits close to Side's beaches and lively centre, a handy base for a burst of adrenaline between lazy pool afternoons. We hold no partnership or affiliation with the hotel; we simply pick up guests staying at Trendy Verbena for free so you can reach the trail without sorting your own transport. Once you are collected, a short transfer takes you to the nearest quad base tucked into the hills behind Side.
What the ride delivers
This is real off-road, not a tame demo loop. You climb into the Taurus foothills on dusty forest tracks, hit shallow river crossings that soak your boots and power over muddy, rutted ground that keeps the whole ride feeling like an expedition. Every rider gets their own quad, so you set your own pace on the throttle while the guide leads the way.
What comes included
- Free pick-up and drop-off at Trendy Verbena
- Your own quad per rider
- Helmet, goggles and safety briefing
- Practice lap before the trail starts
- Experienced guide on the route
- Insurance for the ride
No licence, no experience, no worries
You do not need a driving licence or any off-road background. 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. If you can twist the throttle and pull the brake, you can ride. Put on clothes and shoes you are happy to get filthy, because the mud and river crossings are exactly what you came for.
Straightforward timing from Side
Depending on availability your pick-up is set for a morning or an afternoon session, so we confirm your exact timing rather than quoting a clock time here. The whole outing slots easily around a relaxed day at Trendy Verbena, and you are dropped back at the same spot when you are done. Door-to-door transport means no taxis to flag down, no parking to find and no risk of turning up at the wrong place.
Worth knowing before the trail
Turn up ready to get grubby. Closed shoes grip the pegs far better than sandals, and a change of clothes saves you from strolling back into Trendy Verbena caked in dried mud. The forest opens up to full sun in places, so sun cream and the goggles handed to you keep the ride comfortable. Carry only the essentials that zip safely into a pocket and leave anything valuable at the hotel, because a quad trail bumps and jolts the whole way through.
