What jeep safari Antalya really means
Antalya is not one resort but a province, and the belts we serve run along its coast from Alanya in the east to Kemer in the west. A hotel in Side and one in Kemer are both in Antalya, yet nowhere near the same beach. A jeep safari that leaves from one end of that coast cannot sensibly collect guests at the other, so the day is organised by resort belt: five departures, each with its own product, pickup belt and stretch of the Taurus.
In practice, you do not book a jeep safari in Antalya in general; you book the departure for the belt your hotel sits in. If you already know your resort, the list below places it. If your booking names a small village rather than a well-known resort, the page on which departure fits your hotel walks through the coast area by area.
The five departures at a glance
Each line below is a separate product with its own booking form; the duration is approximate because the convoy moves at the pace of the tracks and river stops. The price shown is the adult rate; the rate for children aged 4-12 appears in the booking form, and infants aged 0-3 travel free.
The adult rates differ from belt to belt because each day is run separately, with its own pickup round and its own route. A full comparison, including child rates and what the price does and does not include, sits on the page about what each of the five days costs.
On the Side belt you can also pair the jeep with a rafting run in one day, which is a separate booking with its own pickups.
- Side belt → Side Jeep Safari Taurus Mountains → approximately 8 hours → €20 per adult
- Alanya belt → Alanya Jeep Safari Dim River → approximately 8 hours → €25 per adult
- Belek belt → Belek Jeep Safari Taurus Mountains → approximately 7 hours → €35 per adult
- Antalya city belt (Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı, centre) → Antalya Jeep Safari Taurus Mountains → approximately 7 hours → €35 per adult
- Kemer belt → Kemer Jeep Safari Taurus Mountains → approximately 7 hours → €30 per adult
What every departure has in common
Whichever belt you leave from, the vehicle and the day are the same. You ride in an open-top 4x4 with a professional driver; guests are passengers throughout. Each jeep carries 8-10 guests, the jeeps travel as a convoy, and guiding is in English, German, Russian or Turkish. On winter runs the jeeps are covered.
In summer, expect to get wet: water fights between the jeeps and stream or river crossings are part of the summer programme on all five belts, so pack a change of clothes and a bag for your phone. The tracks are rough; the day is not recommended for pregnant guests or anyone with back or neck problems, so tell us before boarding if that applies.

How the days differ: Side and Alanya
Above Side the jeeps head into lake and reservoir country. The day passes an old Roman bridge where the asphalt ends, runs off-road through dry riverbeds and orchards, stops at the viewpoint above Green Canyon and at the Oymapınar Dam, and takes lunch at a lakeside restaurant: a day built around still water rather than a running river, described stop by stop on the Side belt page.
Alanya's day belongs to the Dim River. The convoy climbs through orange groves and banana plantations, crosses the Dimçayı more than once, pauses at the Dim Dam, and stops for a swim and lunch on a platform restaurant over the river. Dim Cave can be added as an optional stop with a small entrance fee paid locally. Route, pickup belt from Kestel to Okurcalar and the platform lunch are covered where the Dim River day from Alanya has its own page.
How the days differ: Belek, the city belt and Kemer
From Belek the jeeps leave the golf coast and climb into the foothills past citrus groves, greenhouses and streams. The track turns to red dirt, there are shallow river crossings and a water-pistol fight on the riverbank, a village stop for gözleme and tea, and a riverside lunch with time to paddle in the stream. We do not name the villages or the river on this route; the day that leaves from the Belek golf coast has its own page.
The city-belt day collects along Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı and the centre and takes the road into the foothills through pine forest, citrus orchards and streams. Dusty tracks, shallow river crossings and water fights fill the middle of the day, with viewpoints over green valleys, a mountain village with traditional crafts, and lunch at a riverside restaurant beside running water. Practical details on pickup from Lara, Kundu and Konyaaltı are on the city-belt page.
Kemer's day is the pine-forest day. The climb passes small mountain villages and terraced gardens into the pines above the resort, over rocky trails, forest streams and muddy crossings, with viewpoints over green valleys and the Mediterranean, a stop at a clear mountain stream to wade and cool off, and lunch at a rustic riverside restaurant among the trees. Read about the pine-forest day above Kemer before you choose between it and the city departure.
Who collects from where
We collect you in the morning from your hotel's main entrance; you receive the exact time once you have booked, and it differs from hotel to hotel. The belts we collect from are: Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki and Kumköy for the Side day; Okurcalar, İncekum, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı, Alanya centre, Oba and Kestel for Alanya; Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent, İskele, Taşlıburun, Üçkumtepesi, Acısu, Denizyaka and İleribaşı for Belek; Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı and the city centre for the Antalya day; Kemer centre, Beldibi, Göynük and Çamyuva for Kemer.
Some areas sit between belts or beyond the end of one. Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Sorgun, Titreyengöl and Kızılağaç near Side, Mahmutlar and Kargıcak past Alanya, and Kiriş and Tekirova in the Kemer area are served on request: ask on WhatsApp before booking and we will say whether a collection is possible on your date. The full area-by-area reference, including how hotel pickup is organised in each region, is on the pickup page.
How booking works
Reservation is free and nothing is paid online: no deposit, no card details. You choose the departure for your belt, enter adults, children, infants and your hotel, and receive a confirmation. On the day of the tour you pay in euros. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
Age bands are the same on every departure: adults 13-99, children aged 4-12 at the booking-form rate, infants aged 0-3 free; what the day asks of a family with children is set out on its own page, belt by belt. To talk it through first, write to us on WhatsApp at +90 536 603 75 84.
Where to go next
If your hotel is in Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı or the centre, you are already in the right belt for the Antalya city departure and can go straight to its booking form; it is the flagship of the five.
Readers in Side, Alanya, Belek and Kemer continue to their own region page, where route, pickup belt and booking form sit together. Anyone who wants the whole picture first can read the complete guide; anyone still unsure of their belt should start with the decision page.
One range stands behind all five belts, and we have written about why the same range looks different behind each resort.
If you are travelling as a couple, the choice between the five days turns on different things.
And if you are booking for a larger party, there are a few things worth settling before you fill the form in.
