How about breathing the fresh pine air and exploring the natural beauties of the Side-Manavgat area on horseback? Whether you are an experienced or an amateur rider, Side Horse Safari will be a unique experience among forests, orange orchards, hamlets, rivers, and spectacular landscapes during your holiday in Side.
Our horse farm, located close to the hotels in Side, has specially bred Arabic and domestic horses. Riding on our farm is highly safe, as all of our horses are well-trained and docile. Horseback riding is carried out on the beaches and among the forests of Side. Exploring the beautiful landscape on horseback will be an exciting and fun adventure on your holiday this summer.
We will pick you up from your hotel in our comfortable vehicles and take you to our horse farm, which is nestled in green nature. Our horse trainers will give you the necessary training and instructions before you start your tour, provide information about the horses and deliver your helmets. Then, you will go on an enjoyable and relaxing 2-hour tour in the fresh air and natural environment, accompanied by our riding instructors. At the end of the tour, we will take you back to your hotels with our vehicles again.
Horseback riding is also an extremely beneficial activity for your children, especially in terms of their physical and psychological development. Research has shown that children who get used to riding horses at a young age have a physically healthier spine and better posture. In addition, it has been determined that animal love and empathy skills are more developed than their peers. We recommend you try this activity which will motivate and relax you on your holiday in Side.

Had a great afternoon horse riding through the sandy pine forest and galloping along the beach while on a winter break in Side. The hotel struggled to book it for me as is off season here but Mustafa (from Excursion Side) was great, replying quickly to my whats app messages in excellent English and giving me various options. He explained everything to me and picked me up (very punctually!) from the hotel. The ride was exactly what I was looking for with a fit, speedy horse (as requested by me) and the freedom to go fast. Mustafa had mentioned there was a more expensive option which I would probably recommend for nervous riders or beginners (esp as there was no helmets and little English for anyone needing instructions) but for those looking for a blast along the beach then this is a brilliant option and would also highly recommend Excursion Side for booking all trips as he is very helpful, efficient and friendly!

It was a great experience. The people who are running this farm are lovely. Horses are well kept. They have some ponies for kids as well. We were provided with good instructions, and the view of the surrounding area was breathtaking. I certainly recommend this activity!

We’ve had a wonderful riding experience this morning. Perfect nature, easy horses, helpful and always smiling staff. It was a lovely and therapeutic experience. Despite not have been riding for 10 years, the staff gave a great attention and care and made me feel safe. The views were also amazing. I definitely recommend this activity.
