Side-Turkey.

If one adrenaline hit isn't enough, combo quad excursions stack two or three activities into a single, well-paced day. Run direct by the local Murat Atalay team out of Side and Manavgat, these excursions pair an off-road quad (ATV) ride through pine forest and dusty riverside tracks with a second thrill - usually rafting, a boat cruise, or a buggy lap - so you cover more of the Taurus foothills without juggling separate bookings.

What a combo quad excursion actually includes

The quad leg is the backbone. After a short safety briefing and a few practice laps on flat ground, you follow a lead guide in convoy along forest trails, shallow water crossings near the Manavgat river basin, and open red-earth tracks where the dust flies. Expect to get gloriously muddy - that's the point, and water fights are practically tradition.

The most popular pairings

Quad + rafting is the classic: a morning of off-road riding followed by a cooling float and paddle through the Köprülü Canyon rapids. Quad + buggy suits groups who want pure off-road and like swapping vehicles mid-day. Quad + boat works for families wanting a calmer second half - swimming stops and lunch on the water after the dirt. We tailor the combination to your group rather than forcing a fixed package.

Who these excursions suit - and how to get the best value

Combo quads reward anyone who wants variety and hates wasted holiday hours. Couples, friend groups, and active families all do well; younger children ride as passengers with a parent driving. Because we are the operator - not a reseller - you book direct with no agency or OTA commission layered on top, and we back it with a best-price guarantee. Value also improves when you travel off-peak (late spring and early autumn), ride midweek, and book as a small group. Booking ahead locks your transfer slot and your preferred pairing before the popular dates fill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hotel transfer included?

Yes. We collect you from your hotel in Side, Manavgat and nearby resorts and bring you back the same way - it's built into the excursion.

Are combo quad excursions suitable for children?

They are. Children too young to drive ride safely as passengers with a parent. Let us know ages when booking so we assign the right seating.

Can I pay on the day?

Yes, you can settle on the day of the excursion. Reserving in advance simply secures your transfer and preferred activity pairing.

Should I book in advance?

We strongly recommend it, especially in peak summer. Early booking guarantees your date, your pick-up slot, and the combination you want.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If conditions are unsafe we'll reschedule you to another day or arrange a suitable alternative at no penalty - your safety and your time come first.

Do I need a driving licence for the quad?

For the quad leg drivers should be 16+ and carry photo ID; a car licence helps but our guides give full instruction either way.

What should I wear and bring?

Old clothes and closed shoes you don't mind getting muddy, a swimsuit and towel if rafting or boating is involved, sunscreen, and a change of clothes for the ride home.
