What to Expect:
A Day of Wild Adventure: Explore Side’s Mountains and Villages by Jeep
If you're staying in Side and looking for something more exciting than just lying on the beach, the Side Jeep Safari with Vigo Tours is the perfect choice. It’s not just a tour—it’s a full-day adventure into the wild beauty of Turkey, far from the crowds and noise. This is where fun meets nature, and every turn of the road brings something new.
The journey starts with a hotel pickup in the morning. Soon, you're in a 4x4 open-top Jeep, heading towards the Taurus Mountains. The cool morning breeze, the rising sun, and the sound of the engine set the mood for a day filled with discovery. As you leave the city behind, the roads get narrower and dustier, but that's when the real adventure begins.
You’ll drive through countryside paths surrounded by pine forests, small streams, and rocky hills. Along the way, you’ll see quiet villages where time moves slower. Farmers work in the fields, chickens cross the roads, and friendly kids wave at the Jeeps. It’s a glimpse of real village life, far from the tourist spots.
The off-road tracks are bumpy and full of turns, but that’s the fun part! Your driver knows the roads well and takes you through exciting paths with amazing views. You’ll stop at a few points along the way to enjoy the scenery, take photos, or just breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Around midday, the group stops by a peaceful lake. This is where you’ll have lunch—a simple but tasty meal served by the water. You can relax, go for a swim, or even try a few water park activities if they’re available. It’s the perfect break in the middle of the day.
The tour also includes a few surprise stops—maybe an old Roman bridge hidden in the trees, maybe a forgotten ruin, or a scenic lookout with wide views of the landscape. The guides are friendly and full of knowledge. They tell stories about the region, share local traditions, and make sure everyone is having a great time.
By the end of the day, you’ll feel dusty, happy, and full of memories. You’ll return to your hotel around 5:30 in the afternoon with a camera full of photos and a head full of stories. It’s a day of fun, nature, and culture—all packed into one unforgettable adventure.
Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or with your family, the Side Jeep Safari is a great way to see a different side of Turkey. It’s wild, it’s real, and it’s waiting for you.

Your day starts with pick-up from your hotel. The first stop is at an old Roman bridge, a great place to take some photos and enjoy the historic atmosphere. After that, the real adventure begins as the jeeps head off-road through dusty and rocky mountain paths.
The next stop is at the ancient aqueducts, where you can get out and take photos of these impressive ruins. Then, you’ll continue toward Green Lake, where there’s a short break to admire the peaceful view.
In Oymapinar village, you’ll stop for a swim and enjoy fresh Turkish pancakes served with a drink. This is a nice chance to relax and refresh.
After the village, the tour continues to the Oymapinar Dam. There’s a photo break here to enjoy the wide panoramic view. The group then moves on to Green Canyon for another scenic stop and more great photo opportunities.
Lunch is served at a quiet lakeside restaurant. The food is simple and tasty, and the setting is calm and relaxing. After lunch, you can join an optional one-hour boat trip on Green Lake if you wish.
You’ll also visit a village mosque to see a bit of local culture up close. On the way back, the jeeps go off-road again. In summer, there’s a fun water fight between the jeeps. Be prepared to get wet.

(4.8)Definitely a must do whilst in turkiye
Collection from our hotel, a few extra people in the jeep we were a party of 9 with 2 extra parties with us. Price was good for the jeep & dust masks. The whole experience was great. Our children (3,7,8,10,10) loved it so did us adults. Spiderman took some great footage. The lunch stop off was expensive for drinks. Guide spoke multiple languages. This was the top excursion we did this holiday 100% recommend.

(5.0)Viel drin für wenig Geld
Tolle, kurzweilige Tour mit vielen Highlights: Offroad Fahrspaß, Besichtigung einer Moschee, des Manavgat-Wasserfalls und der antiken Stadt Lyrbe, Mittagessen direkt am See und Besuch eines Tierparks. Habe die Tour mit meinem 10jährigen Sohn gemacht, er war total begeistert! Mehrere Jeeps mit Sitzbänken auf der Ladefläche (für 6-8 Personen), deutschsprachiger Guide. Ein Fotograf war auch dabei, Fotos und Video konnte man anschließend kaufen (30€). Ein wirklich lohnenswerter Ausflug!

(5.0)Amazing trip
We had so much fun! Was a bit apprehensive that 8 hours would be a bit long but it literally flew by! Water fights all the way… great photo opportunities… we was a family of a 10 yr old 15,16,17 and none of them complained… all the staff went out their way to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and they were all so friendly and polite!
