Full Description

Horse Riding on the Beach in Side

Swap Your Beach Walk for Hoofprints in Side!

Discover another side of the Turkish Riviera on horseback. This guided experience takes you beyond Side's busy hotel beaches into a quieter landscape of countryside paths, shaded stretches and open Mediterranean views. Riding at an easy pace lets you appreciate the surroundings rather than rushing between sightseeing stops.

From woodland trails to the sandy coast

The route brings together two sides of the region. Natural paths and wooded areas provide a peaceful introduction before the landscape opens towards the shoreline. Here, the sea breeze, sand and coastal scenery make riding in Side a memorable part of a beach holiday. The precise beach section is selected according to access, weather, ground conditions and safety, so the whole ride should not be understood as taking place directly on the sand.

Enjoy the ride at a suitable level

You do not need to have ridden a horse before. The team introduces the horses, explains the basic controls and provides assistance before the group sets off. The normal group pace is relaxed and guided. Guests with previous riding experience are also welcome; any faster riding on the beach is a separate decision made by the riding instructor at the horse farm after considering the rider's ability and conditions on the day.

A well-planned outdoor experience

The experience combines riding time with the convenience of transport from eligible Side hotel areas. Couples, solo travellers and families with children who meet the participation conditions can share the natural scenery without organising their own journey to the stables. Non-riding companions may join under the applicable companion option, but remain at the horse farm while the riders are out on the trail.

For the steps of the outing, see the Tour Programme below. Clothing, participation requirements, safety, companion arrangements and optional services are explained separately under Know Before You Go.

Know Before You Go

Know Before You Go – Side Horse Riding

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable long trousers and sturdy closed shoes that stay securely on your feet; sandals or flip-flops are not suitable. Bring water and sun protection, especially in hot weather. Riding helmets are supplied and should be worn as directed. For safety reasons, mobile phones are not used while riding, including for taking photos or videos. Keep personal belongings secure and follow all instructions from the team.

Can beginners and children participate?

Previous riding experience is not necessary. A short briefing and assistance are provided before departure. Children can generally join from age six, subject to approval by the riding instructor. The approximate rider-weight guidance is 100–110 kg; please contact the team in advance if you are near this range. Guests who are pregnant or have significant back, neck, balance or mobility concerns should have their suitability assessed before booking.

Can experienced riders gallop on the beach?

Experienced riders may be allowed to gallop on the beach only with the approval of the riding instructor at the horse farm and when conditions are suitable. Galloping is not guaranteed or part of the standard group pace.

Where do non-riding companions wait?

Companions who do not ride must stay at the horse farm until the tour has finished. They cannot accompany the group along the riding route. There is a small café at the farm.

What should I know about transfers?

Return hotel transport is included for the standard Side pickup areas listed in the Pick Up Place section. Kızılağaç and Kızılot require a supplementary paid transfer for at least two guests; Antalya city and Belek are not standard pickup locations for this tour. Please wait at your hotel's main entrance or security gate at the confirmed time, unless your booking confirmation specifies otherwise.

What about the beach route, photos and weather?

The itinerary includes a planned coastal section, but a specific beach stretch or length of time on the sand cannot be guaranteed. Professional photographs or videos, if available, can be purchased separately; food and drinks are not included. A later departure does not guarantee sunset. The operator may modify, postpone or cancel the activity if weather or safety requires it; rescheduling and any refund follow the booking conditions.
