Where the day starts: pickup across the Belek belt
The Belek departure covers the verified pickup belt of Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent, İskele, Taşlıburun, Üçkumtepesi, Acısu, Denizyaka and İleribaşı. Whether your hotel sits on the golf coast between Kadriye and Boğazkent or in one of the quieter inland pockets such as Acısu and İleribaşı, our transfer vehicles come to you; you do not travel to a meeting point in town. The hotels at the Boğazkent end of the belt are listed area by area on their own page.
The meeting point is the main entrance gate of your hotel. The pickup time is given according to your hotel and confirmed after booking, because our transfer vehicles collect several hotels in sequence before bringing everyone to the Park Safari base in Gebiz, where the jeeps start. Guests staying just outside the belt can use the full pickup list by region to check whether their resort belongs to the Belek run or to a neighbouring departure.
The shape of the day
The Belek jeep safari is a shared full-day departure of approximately 7 hours from pickup to drop-off, and it runs the same Park Safari programme as the Antalya departure. At the base in Gebiz the guides give the tour and safety briefing, and the open-top 4x4s set off in convoy behind a lead jeep, past the Çığırgan stream and pomegranate orchards to the village of Değirmenburnu. From there the red-dirt tracks continue via Hacıosmanlar, with stream crossings on the way.
The route is not a race from viewpoint to viewpoint. The convoy stops at a village house at Hasgebe in the forest, for a swim in the Haspınar stream, for lunch at our restaurant and at Uçan Waterfall, and there is time to get out, take photographs and dry off. At the end of the day the convoy follows the Dorumlar village route back to our base by the Çığırgan stream, where the tour ends and the transfer takes each group back to its own hotel.
Water, the village stop and lunch
Two things define a summer departure from Belek: water and dust. At the riverbank stop the photo pause turns into a water-pistol fight between the jeeps within minutes, so count on getting wet from head to toe. Bring a change of clothes, a towel and shoes you do not mind soaking.
The village stop is a village house at Hasgebe, set among the forest: a photo stop where the guides explain village life and the house itself, and guests are offered sage tea gathered by the villagers. After it the road passes at approximately 700 m, past village houses and with panoramic views of Bozburun Mountain, before a swim stop in the Haspınar stream at Hastümen. Lunch follows at our restaurant, with a rest-and-lunch break of approximately one hour; it is included in the fare, and drinks are ordered and paid for separately. In the afternoon the convoy continues via Değirmenburnu, Akçapınar and Kozan to Uçan Waterfall for a 45-minute swim stop.
What is included and what you pay on site
The adult fare covers everything that happens on the day apart from drinks, personal spending and the photo service. Nothing extra is charged for the pickup, the driver or the guiding; you pay in euros on the day of the tour.

Who the Belek departure suits
The Belek jeep safari is a family departure. In the booking form adults are 13 and over, children aged 4-12 pay the child rate, and infants aged 0-3 travel free. Each open-top jeep carries 8-10 guests plus a professional driver; guests are passengers throughout and never take the wheel.
The tracks are rough and the jeeps bounce. The tour is not recommended for pregnant guests or for anyone with back or neck problems; if that applies to you, tell us before boarding rather than on the first stretch of dirt road. Guests who would rather stay dry can keep back from the riverbank during the water fight.
Season and vehicles
The Belek departure runs daily in season. Summer runs use open-top 4x4 jeeps, which is what makes the dust, the sun and the water fights part of the day; on winter runs the convoy uses covered jeeps. We cannot promise the weather on a given date; the mountains decide that.
Packing, clothing, cameras and what to bring for children are covered in the complete Antalya jeep safari guide, which applies to the Belek run as much as to any other departure.
Booking and cancellation
A booking is a reservation, not a payment. No prepayment is taken and no card is entered online: you reserve your places, we confirm the pickup time for your hotel, and you pay in euros on the day of the tour. Should plans change, calling it off costs nothing as long as we hear from you at least 48 hours before departure, so a rescheduled tee time or a late flight costs you nothing.
To reserve seats on the Belek jeep safari, choose your date and the number of adults and children in the booking form; the child rate for children aged 4-12 appears there. Questions about a hotel outside the belt or about a group that needs more than one jeep are quickest by WhatsApp on +90 536 603 75 84, and the tour is guided in English, German, Russian and Turkish.
Neighbouring departures on the Antalya coast
Belek sits between two other pickup belts. Guests staying in Lara or Kundu, a little way towards the city, are collected by the departure from Lara and Kundu, which runs the same Park Safari programme from the same base in Gebiz; only the pickup belt is different.
If you are still deciding which stretch of coast to base yourself on, or you are splitting a holiday between two resorts, it helps to compare the five departures side by side before you book: Side, Alanya, Belek, Antalya and Kemer each have their own belt and their own fare, while Belek and Antalya share one programme and Side, Alanya and Kemer each run their own route.
This page covers the Belek run only. The overview of the jeep safari across the Antalya coast explains how the five departures relate to each other and which one leaves from which resort belt.
