Belek · Antalya · Side coast — the Köprüçay riverland
A two-seat off-road buggy, a guide up front and a course of forest tracks, open dirt and shallow river crossings by the Köprüçay near Aspendos. Choose the 18 km route or the 28 km one; we collect you at your hotel gate and bring you back.
Two machines, one course
Both run the same course by the Köprüçay on the same day, as a short route of 18 km or a long route of 28 km. The buggy starts at €35 a driver, the quad at €30; whoever rides beside or behind you pays half.

Ride your own quad on the off-road course by the Köprüçay river near Aspendos: short 18 km or long 28 km route, hotel transfer, helmet and test ride included.
Why a buggy
A buggy is the easiest way into off-road driving: you sit low behind a steering wheel, inside a steel cage, with someone you know in the seat next to you. If you can drive a car you will feel at home within the first few minutes.
The course is not in Belek. It lies inland in the Aspendos countryside, on the land along the Köprüçay, about 35–40 minutes from the Belek hotels: pine-shaded tracks, dusty open ground and shallow river sections you drive straight through.
Nobody drives until the briefing is done and the compulsory test ride is passed. Pass it and the wheel is yours; prefer not to and you ride beside the driver for half the fare. Then the convoy follows the guide, and you set your own pace inside it.
From your hotel and back
From pickup to drop-off the day fills four to four and a half hours. Where your hotel falls on the collection run sets the exact clock, and you get your own time the day before.
Morning or afternoon session. Wait at your hotel's main entrance on the Belek, Antalya or Side coast; the transfer then heads inland.
At the base you are fitted with a helmet and shown the controls. The helmet is the only protective item we hand out; if you want goggles, they can be bought at the base.
Every driver takes it, no exceptions. No driving licence is needed because this is a private off-road course, not a public road, and drivers are 16 or over.
Pass the test ride and you drive. If the test does not go well, or the other seat simply appeals more, you come along as passenger for half the driver's fare.
Behind the lead guide over pine tracks and through shallow sections of the Köprüçay, with open dusty ground in between.
Mud depends on the conditions of the day and is never guaranteed. Dust is. Wear clothes you will not miss and closed shoes.
The convoy rolls back to base, you hand in the helmet, and the transfer drops you where it collected you.
Before you choose an operator
The driver and one passenger sit side by side. Fuel, helmet, briefing and the test ride are part of the price.
The round-trip transfer is included from fifteen resort areas between Konyaaltı and Kızılot. Outside them, ask us first.
One fare per driver, half for the passenger, nothing else added on. Goggles and drinks are your choice and paid on the spot.
Reserving costs nothing and no deposit is taken. The fare is settled in euros when we meet, and a cancellation is free until 48 hours before departure.
We reply on WhatsApp in English, German, Russian and Polish.
Nobody drives before showing they can. That is our safety rule, and it is why no licence is required on this course.
