Fethiye Buggy Safari Tour on Forest and Hillside Trails

Off-road buggy driving in the Fethiye countryside

From forest shade to open hillside tracks

The view from a buggy changes quickly in the countryside around Fethiye. Under the trees, the track draws your eye to the turns and the surface in front of you. Where the forest thins and the hillside opens up, you can see more of the terrain the convoy is crossing. For much of the safari you experience the countryside from the driver’s seat or alongside someone who is driving.

How the terrain changes the ride

Dry dirt can send up dust behind the buggies, while softer patches can turn muddy. The hillside stretches add slopes and uneven ground, so even a short section can feel different from the one before it. On some days the route can include a shallow water crossing if conditions allow. The surface and the landscape give the outing its character, with the guide setting the pace for the whole convoy. On the open stretches you can see the buggies ahead climb or dip with the ground, which gives you a sense of how the next section will feel before you reach it.

The view from the passenger seat

In a shared buggy the driver can concentrate on the next turn while the passenger has more time to look across the hillside or watch the convoy ahead. It is a way to share the same ride even when only one person wants to drive. If you are coming with a friend or partner, decide which of you would enjoy taking the wheel and who would rather watch the landscape unfold along the track.

Scenic breaks along the route

During the panoramic breaks, you have a chance to take in the countryside without watching the vehicle in front. Looking back over the landscape after following its tracks gives you a different sense of the slopes and stretches of woodland you have just crossed. When the convoy moves on, attention shifts back to the terrain beneath the wheels. If you would like to compare the buggy experience with a ride on a quad, see the Fethiye Quad Safari.
