Full-day off-road jeep safari from Side into the Taurus Mountains with water fights, Green Lake swim and lunch. Free hotel pickup by jeep.
This is a full-day off-road adventure from Side and Manavgat into the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. You are collected directly from your hotel by jeep (no bus transfer) and the same vehicle takes you up the dirt tracks into the mountains.
The day combines bumpy off-road driving, a stop in a mountain village, a swimming break in cool spring or Green Lake water, a traditional lunch and the famous water and mud fights between the jeeps. The pace is lively and playful rather than quiet sightseeing.
It suits active travellers, groups of friends and families with children old enough for a bumpy ride. It is not recommended for pregnant women or anyone with back, neck or serious medical conditions. Expect to get dusty and wet — that is part of the experience.
Bring swimwear, a full change of clothes, closed shoes, sunscreen and a dry bag for your phone. Drinks and optional photos are extra. It is one of the most energetic and social day trips available from Side.
