Buggy safari from Side, Sorgun and Titreyengöl: what is included
Side, Sorgun and Titreyengöl are three of the nine areas where hotel collection and drop-off cost nothing extra. A shuttle collects you from your hotel, takes you to the base, which sits on a private off-road course in Antalya's Manavgat district, inland from the Side coast, and brings you back afterwards. You do not need a taxi, a hire car or directions.
The fare is per person and paid on the tour day: €30 for a driver and €15 for a passenger. Drivers must be 16 or over; passengers ride along from 6. Your fare already covers the helmet, both briefings, the vehicle explanation, practice, a professional guide on the route, plus showers and cabins for changing afterwards.
Choosing your departure: morning, late morning or afternoon
Most guests in these three areas plan the safari around the rest of their holiday rather than the other way round. With a programme of roughly 4–4.5 hours from hotel door to hotel door, each departure leaves a different shape to your day.
Think about what else you want from that day before you choose:
However you split the day, the return leg is part of the package. When the safari is over and you have used the showers and changing cabins, the shuttle drops you at your own hotel again, and that ride home is already counted in the approximate 4–4.5 hours. You arrive clean enough for the pool bar or dinner, with no extra planning needed.
- 08:00, the morning departure: suits early risers keen to keep the afternoon for swimming, sunbathing or the old town, and families whose children are awake early anyway.
- 11:00, the late-morning departure: a relaxed breakfast first, and you are back at the hotel for a late afternoon.
- 13:00, the afternoon departure: a slow morning, a late meal at the hotel and the safari in the second half of the day.
Why the departure time is not your pickup time
The three times shown on our booking page are when the activity departs. Your shuttle comes for you earlier than that, and by how much varies with the hotel, its area and the order in which the shuttle collects guests that day. It is confirmed with your booking, so you will know it in advance.
This matters when you plan breakfast or a pool slot. Do not build your morning around the departure time itself; build it around the pickup time you are given. If you have chosen 08:00, for example, expect to be ready before eight.
What to send us on WhatsApp
Whether you book online or straight through WhatsApp, number +90 536 603 75 84, a few details make the pickup straightforward. If you are writing to us, include them in your first message and we can answer in one go.
- the full name of your hotel, written as it appears on your booking
- which area it is in: Side, Sorgun or Titreyengöl
- your preferred date and departure: 08:00, 11:00 or 13:00
- your split of drivers versus passengers
- a phone number on which you can be reached on the day
On the morning: be ready, be sober, be in closed shoes
Be ready at your hotel at the confirmed pickup time, dressed in old clothes in darker colours and closed shoes or trainers. Flip-flops are not suitable for driving. Drivers carry an ID so staff can confirm they are 16 or older; licences stay irrelevant, because the ride is an off-road course and never a public road.
Nobody under the influence of alcohol or drugs takes part, so keep the night before sensible if you have chosen the morning departure. A towel and a change of clothes are worth packing for the showers at the base.
Booking dates and changing your mind
Online bookings open from tomorrow onwards. Already here and hoping to ride today? Ping us on WhatsApp and we will check for a same-day seat.
Plans change on holiday, and that is fine. You pay nothing in advance and there is no card on file, and calling off costs nothing provided 48 hours or more remain before the start. After that, please contact us as early as you can.
Staying somewhere else nearby?
