Where the Kemer departure starts
The scheduled pickup belt runs along the Kemer coast: Kemer centre, Beldibi, Göynük and Çamyuva. If your hotel is in one of these four places, tick it in the booking form and the jeep collects you at the main entrance gate of your hotel. Kiriş and Tekirova are not on the scheduled belt; we look at those requests case by case, so write the hotel name in the notes and wait for our WhatsApp confirmation before you rely on it.
Pickup is in the morning. The exact time depends on where your hotel sits along the belt and is confirmed after booking, so please do not plan around a clock time you read somewhere else. Guests staying outside the Kemer belt can check the pickup areas for every region before choosing a departure.
The shape of the day: pine forest, dirt trails and water crossings
From the coast road the convoy turns inland and climbs into the pine forests of the Taurus above Kemer. The asphalt gives way to rocky dirt trails that pass small mountain villages and terraced gardens, and the drivers keep the jeeps in a loose line so each vehicle has room on the corners. Forest streams cross the track more than once; the muddy water crossings send spray over the passengers in the back.
The climb pauses at viewpoints over green valleys and, higher up, over the Mediterranean coast. There is time to step out, take photos and let the dust settle. For a fuller picture of what a Taurus jeep day involves in any of the five regions, the region-wide guide walks through the whole format from pickup to drop-off.
The mountain-stream stop and lunch among the pines
The stop that defines the day is a clear mountain stream in the forest. The jeeps park, everyone wades in, and the water fight that started between the vehicles on the track continues on foot. In summer, cooling off is the whole point of the stop; bring a towel and something dry to change into, because you will get wet.
Lunch is a traditional meal at a rustic riverside mountain restaurant among the pines. It is included in the price of the day; drinks are ordered and paid for separately at the table. After lunch the convoy descends back toward the coast and drops each group at their hotel gate.
What is included and what you pay on site
The adult price covers the whole day from your hotel gate and back. Nothing is collected online: reserving costs nothing, and you pay in euros on the day of the tour.
Not included: drinks, the photos and videos taken by the tour team, personal expenses, and any optional stop that charges an entrance fee, which is paid on site. Prices differ between the five departure regions; if that matters to your choice, see how the Kemer price compares with the other regions before booking.
- Hotel pickup and drop-off from the Kemer resort belt
- A full day in the mountains with a professional driver
- Lunch at the riverside mountain restaurant
- Guiding during the day in English, German, Russian or Turkish
Who the Kemer jeep safari suits
Each open-top 4x4 carries 8-10 guests and a professional driver; guests are passengers for the whole day and nobody takes the wheel. The track is rough in places, with bumps and ruts, so the day 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 after the first climb.
Families are welcome. Adults are 13 and over, children aged 4-12 pay the child rate shown in the booking form, and infants aged 0-3 travel free. Wear closed shoes, take sunscreen and a hat, and pack a change of clothes in a bag that can get splashed.
Season and vehicles
The Kemer departure runs daily in season. Summer runs use open-top 4x4s, and the water fights and stream crossings are part of the programme. On winter runs the convoy uses covered jeeps instead.
We cannot promise dry weather or a particular water level in the streams; dress for the season and expect mud on the track after rain.
Booking, payment and cancellation
Reservation is free and takes a minute: choose the date, tick your pickup area, enter the number of adults and children, and book the Kemer jeep safari without entering a card. No prepayment is taken; you pay in euros on the day.
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. For a question about a hotel outside the belt, a large group or a change of date, write to us on WhatsApp at +90 536 603 75 84. Guiding on the day is in English, German, Russian and Turkish.
Neighbouring departures along the coast
East of Kemer, on the city side of the coast, the same operator runs the Antalya city day from Lara and Konyaaltı, with pickup from Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı and the city centre. It is the departure to book if you stay on the city side rather than in the Kemer belt.
Five regions in total have their own departure: Side, Alanya, Belek, Antalya and Kemer. All five are laid out in the province-wide jeep safari overview, with pickup belts and durations side by side.
If you are still weighing Kemer against a departure from another resort, the short answer is: book where you sleep, because pickup belts do not overlap. The longer answer, with the route character and price of each day, is on the page about which of the five days to choose.
Guests in Beldibi, Göynük and Çamyuva have their own page, with the hotel areas along that coast road and what is on request beyond them.
