The rule: where you stay decides
There is no route menu to choose from. How the five belts are laid out along the coast decides everything: each jeep safari day serves one stretch of coast and collects only there, because the convoy climbs into the mountains behind the resorts it serves and returns to the same hotels. A guest in Lara cannot be collected for the Side day, and a guest in Avsallar is not on the Belek list.
So the question is not which safari is the right one, but which belt your hotel belongs to. Once that is clear the departure is fixed; what remains is whether a slightly longer day, or lake rather than river, matters to you.
The five days side by side
One line per belt: the resort area it collects from, the rough length of the day, the kind of water on the tracks, and the adult fare. The rate for children aged 4-12 is shown in the booking form; infants aged 0-3 travel free.
- Side belt (Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki, Kumköy) · approximately 8 hours · lake and reservoir country with a viewpoint above Green Canyon · adult price €20
- Alanya belt (Kestel to Okurcalar) · approximately 8 hours · Dim River crossings and lunch on a platform over the river · adult price €25
- Belek belt (Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent, İskele and the surrounding areas) · approximately 7 hours · red-dirt tracks and shallow river crossings · adult price €35
- Antalya city belt (Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı, centre) · approximately 7 hours · dusty tracks, shallow crossings and viewpoints over green valleys · adult price €35
- Kemer belt (Kemer centre, Beldibi, Göynük, Çamyuva) · approximately 7 hours · pine forest, forest streams and muddy crossings · adult price €30
The eastern belts: Side, Alanya, Belek
The Side belt collects from Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki and Kumköy. Its tracks run through lake and reservoir country: a viewpoint above Green Canyon, lunch at a lakeside restaurant and an optional boat hour on the lake, paid on the day. What the Side departure looks like stop by stop is on its own page.
The Alanya belt runs from Kestel through Oba, Alanya centre, Konaklı, Türkler, Avsallar and İncekum to Okurcalar. The jeeps cross the Dim River (Dimçayı), stop for photos at the Dim Dam, and the swim and lunch break is on a platform restaurant over the river; Dim Cave can be added as an optional stop, with a small entrance fee paid locally. The full order of stops is on the Alanya departure page.
The Belek belt takes in Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent, İskele, Taşlıburun, Üçkumtepesi, Acısu, Denizyaka and İleribaşı. It is a red-dirt day: mountain tracks, shallow river crossings, a water-pistol fight on a riverbank, a village stop with gözleme and tea, and lunch by the river with time to paddle. The shape of the day in detail is on the Belek day page.
The western belts: Antalya city and Kemer
From Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı and the city centre the convoy heads into the foothills through pine forest and citrus orchards, then onto dusty tracks with shallow river crossings, viewpoints over green valleys, a village stop with traditional crafts, and a riverside lunch beside running water. It is the departure for anyone staying in Antalya itself; the Antalya city day page carries the pickup areas and the stop order.
The Kemer belt collects from Kemer centre, Beldibi, Göynük and Çamyuva. The route climbs into the pine forests above Kemer on rocky trails, crosses forest streams and muddy patches, opens onto viewpoints over the valleys and the Mediterranean, pauses at a clear mountain stream to wade and cool off, and stops for lunch at a rustic riverside restaurant among the pines. Everything about the Kemer day, including the resorts on request, is on its page.
If your hotel is between belts or in an on-request area
Some addresses sit just outside a scheduled list: Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Sorgun, Titreyengöl and Kızılağaç on the Side side; Mahmutlar and Kargıcak east of Alanya; Kiriş and Tekirova south of Kemer. Pickup there is on request only and is not promised in advance.
If your hotel is in one of them, or you are not sure which belt you belong to, send the hotel name to +90 536 603 75 84 on WhatsApp before you reserve. You get a plain yes or no for the pickup and the right departure for your address.
What is identical on every day
Whichever belt you are in, the product underneath is the same. The five days differ in belt, length and water — not in vehicle, driver, lunch or terms, and what each of the five days actually holds is set out side by side without a ranking.
- Open-top 4x4 jeeps with a professional driver; guests are passengers throughout
- 8-10 guests per jeep; covered jeeps on winter runs
- Pickup in the morning at the main entrance gate of your hotel; the exact time is confirmed after booking and varies by hotel
- Lunch at a riverside or lakeside restaurant; guiding in English, German, Russian or Turkish
- Not included: drinks, the tour team's photos and videos, personal expenses, optional stops with an entrance fee
- Summer water fights and stream crossings — you will get wet; bring a change of clothes
- Age bands: adults 13 and over, children aged 4-12, infants 0-3 free
- Not recommended for pregnant guests or guests with back or neck problems; tell us before boarding
- No prepayment, no card online; the fare is settled in euros on the day of the tour
- Free cancellation until 24 hours before the departure
Longer day or shorter day, lake or river
Side and Alanya run for approximately 8 hours; Belek, Antalya and Kemer for approximately 7. The difference is about an hour of programme, set by the route; the extra hour cannot be added to a shorter belt.
Water is the other difference. Out of Side the viewpoint, the lunch and the optional boat hour are all on still water. Out of Alanya it is the Dim River, crossed by the jeeps and sat over at lunch. Out of Belek, Antalya and Kemer it is streams and shallow rivers: crossings the jeeps splash through, a bank for the water fight, a stream to wade in, running water beside the lunch table.
With children
The age bands do not change from belt to belt: adults 13 and over, children aged 4-12 at the child rate shown in the booking form, infants aged 0-3 free. What changes is the length: approximately 8 hours in the Side or Alanya belt, approximately 7 in Belek, Antalya or Kemer. Water fights and wet crossings happen on every summer departure, so pack dry clothes for each child, and tell us before boarding if anyone in the family has back or neck problems.
After you decide
Once the belt is clear, the money question is answered on one page: the five prices in one table, with the child and infant bands.
Pickup questions — which resorts are scheduled, which are on request and where you wait — are gathered in the pickup detail for every belt.
If your hotel is in Lara, Kundu, Konyaaltı or the centre, you can reserve the Antalya departure straight away: the form asks for your hotel, the number of adults and children and the date; nothing is paid until the day of the tour.
If you have never done an off-road day before, the questions are different ones and we answer them separately.
