Buggy Safari Tour: from Side vs from Belek
The Buggy Safari Tour can be picked up from both Side and Belek. The tour itself is identical (2 Hours, β¬35 per person) β the real difference is the transfer. From Side it's about 0 km (~10 min); from Belek it's about 28.8 km (~36 min). If you want less time on the road, Side is the shorter run. Operator note: A short, punchy off-road buggy ride through hills, villages and mountain tracks β about two hours including a stop, so it slots easily into a half day. It's dusty by nature; wear sunglasses, closed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and bring a buff or scarf for your face on dry tracks. Drivers get a quick briefing first; basic control is enough, no experience needed. Best for couples and groups wanting a fun adrenaline hit without a full-day commitment.

Traveller reviews
Staff didn't rush the nervous drivers. They let everyone get used to the buggy before speeding up. Tbh, we were happy with it.
Short, simple, and very entertaining. A good choice if you don't want a full-day tour.
Really enjoyable ride, but I wish I had brought better sunglasses because the dust gets everywhere. The staff gave a clear briefing and kept the group together, so it felt safe even when the track got bumpy. Two hours was a good length for us. It is not fancy, but it is great fun.
Great short activity before dinner. We were back at the hotel with plenty of time to shower. Tbh, we were happy with it.
The staff were relaxed but still serious about safety. We felt looked after.
We booked this as a short activity before dinner and it fit perfectly into the day. My boyfriend wanted speed, I wanted not to crash, and somehow both of us were happy. The guide slowed the group when needed and helped anyone who was struggling. We were back at the hotel with enough time to shower off the dust.
