The ride at a glance
Horseback riding is the calm way to discover the green side of the Antalya coast. Away from the beaches and the resort strips, the countryside is full of pine woods, farmland and rivers coming down from the Taurus Mountains. On this tour you ride along forest paths and a river track, accompanied by experienced guides from the riding stable, at a relaxed pace that lets you enjoy the scenery, the shade of the trees and the sound of the water.
The ride is beginner friendly. The horses used for these trips are accustomed to guests without riding experience, and the guides choose a horse to suit each rider. Most of the route is ridden at walking pace, so you can concentrate on the views rather than on technique. Experienced riders can mention their level when booking. The tour suits couples, families with children above the stable's minimum age and anyone who loves animals and wants a quiet, nature-focused break from the sun loungers.
Booking
How the ride runs
- Hotel pickup: our driver collects you from your hotel and takes you to the riding stable.
- Meeting the horses: the guides match riders with horses, adjust the stirrups and helmets and explain how to sit, steer and stop.
- Forest route: you set off in a line behind the guide on paths through the pine forest.
- River track: part of the route follows the river, a cooler and especially scenic section of the ride.
- Return: back at the stable you can say goodbye to your horse, and we drive you back to your hotel.
The tour is listed at about 2 hours. The transfer time depends on where your hotel is, and the exact route is chosen by the stable according to the season and the riders.
Good to know before you ride
- Clothing: long trousers prevent chafing; wear closed shoes with a small heel or trainers, not sandals. A light long-sleeved top protects against sun and branches.
- Sun and insects: bring sunscreen, water and insect repellent, especially for the river section.
- Safety: wear the helmet provided and follow the guides' instructions at all times. Do not ride too close to the horse in front and stay calm, as horses react to sudden noise.
- Age and fitness: minimum age and any weight limit are confirmed when you book. Riding uses the legs and back, so people with back problems or who are pregnant should ask first.
- Photos: take pictures only when the group is stopped or with a phone strap, and keep both hands ready for the reins.
