How about experiencing a day full of nature, exploration, adventure, and fun while breathing in the fresh air of the Taurus Mountains? With the Jeep Safari Side Tour, you will explore the countryside of Side, drive along dusty and muddy tracks, visit natural and historical wonders such as the Oymapınar Dam and Green Canyon, swim in the cool waters of Green Lake, and overall enjoy a fun and memorable day out in Side.
Away from the bustle of the city and the routine of hotel life, you’ll discover the region’s stunning landscapes, including rivers, lakes, waterfalls, green forests, orchards, ancient monuments, and welcoming local life along the way. Enjoy fun water fights during the tour, cool off in the emerald waters of Green Lake, and take part in a small foam party that adds an extra touch of laughter and energy to the day. Side Jeep Safari is one of the must-do tours for adventure lovers and explorers holidaying in Side.
On this full-day tour, we pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable 4×4 all-terrain jeep. The first stop of the trip is at Manavgat Waterfall. There is a short break of around 30 minutes at this famous waterfall, one of the region’s landmarks. Then, you make an off-road safari to the Taurus Mountains in the countryside of the Side-Manavgat region.
While enjoying the green landscape, you’ll see the 1800-year-old Naras Bridge, orange orchards, monuments, and Roman-period aqueducts. You will have the chance to take photos of these marvels during the short photo breaks we give along the journey. Then, we take a break in our tea garden in the countryside, where you can taste delicious homemade Turkish gözleme (savoury pancakes) and enjoy refreshing drinks. After that, a visit to Seyran Hill, which offers excellent views of Oymapınar Dam and Green Lake, is on the excursion’s itinerary. Our next stop is at our restaurant by lake, where you’ll have a tasty lunch.
And just as you arrive at the lakeside facility, the fun continues with a small foam party! Foam is sprayed over the jeeps, music starts playing, and everyone joins in for a lively and refreshing moment full of laughter and good vibes. It’s one of those simple but unforgettable highlights that both kids and adults truly enjoy.
The lunch menu features chicken, rice, pasta, salad, and Turkish mezes, all prepared fresh daily. After lunch, you can relax at the facility or take a walk in the lush countryside nearby. The tour then continues with a boat trip on Green Lake, where you’ll also enjoy a refreshing swimming break. After the boat tour, we hop back into the jeeps and head towards the spectacular Green Lake Bay.
You will swim in the emerald cool waters of Green Lake at this beautiful spot, surrounded by different shades of green. After this swimming stop, our excursion ends, and the return journey starts. On the return journey, we will stop at a zoo where you will have the chance to see exotic animals. Afterwards, we will drive off-road in jeeps through the countryside around Side and drop you off at your hotel.
The Side Jeep Safari excursion takes about 7 hours and is available daily from April to November. The tour includes hotel pick-up and drop-off by jeep, travel insurance, lunch, a boat trip, a fun foam party and guidance.

Being cautious I wasn’t sure if to book online but I did some research and as I didn’t pay a penny until pick up I thought I would give Side Excursions a try. The whole process was easy and the price reasonable. I booked the jeep safari for my family of six ages 51 to 15.
The safari was the best experience we have had, we laughed from start to finish. The staff team are amazing especially the camera man (Spider-Man) the positions the lad gets in to give you quality video and pictures is unreal. We felt safe throughout and the food was very nice. We all highly recommend this trip/company and definitely buy the USB with all your amazing memories.

Absolutely amazing tours & experiences. Definitely recommend the Jeep safari for a local trip & Pamukkale & Demre for a bit further afield. The tour manager is extremely helpful & friendly & the tour guides are knowledgeable & friendly too.
The costs for the trips are incredibly great value for what you get.
Will definitely use again next time we are in Side… 5 stars… thanks :)!!
