Guided horse riding in Side along the beach and through pine forest. Calm horses, safety helmet and free hotel pickup. Suitable for complete beginners.
This is a relaxed guided horse riding experience near Side. After hotel pickup you are taken to the stable, matched with a calm horse according to your height and weight, fitted with a safety helmet and given a short briefing.
The ride typically combines a section along the quieter western shore of Evrenseki Beach with shaded trails through the nearby Manavgat pine forest. The pace is walking only — no trotting or galloping — making it suitable for complete beginners and nervous riders. Guides stay close and the terrain is mostly flat.
The full experience from pickup to drop-off lasts around three hours, with approximately two hours on horseback. Photo stops are included. It is a popular choice for couples, families and anyone wanting a gentle outdoor activity with sea and forest scenery.
Wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes with a small heel. Maximum rider weight is 110 kg and the minimum age is usually 6 years (with an adult). It is one of the more peaceful and nature-focused activities available from Side.
