Our daily horseback riding tour from Marmaris leaves the busy resort behind and follows quiet trails through the countryside, where traditional village life, green pine forest and glimpses of the deep blue sea set the scene for about two hours in the saddle. It is a calm, nature-focused daily excursion that welcomes both first-time riders and those with experience.
Cruise passengers docking in Marmaris can book the Horseback Riding Tour as a convenient Marmaris shore excursion during their port call. This shared tour suits cruise passengers with a full day in port; let us know your ship’s schedule and we will confirm the pickup point at the cruise terminal or offer a private alternative. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Just tell us the ship and the day it calls at Marmaris — we take care of the rest.
The hills around Marmaris are covered in Turkish red pine and dotted with small farming villages, where daily life still follows the rhythm of gardens, olive trees and grazing animals. Seeing this landscape from horseback is very different from passing through by car: the slower pace lets you notice the scent of the pines, the sound of the forest and the clear water of the bays below. This Marmaris day trip shows a side of the coast that many visitors never discover.
No previous riding experience is needed. Before setting off, each rider is given a horse that suits their ability, and experienced staff accompany the group on horseback throughout, helping beginners feel at ease. Apart from the hotel transfers, the entire programme takes place in the saddle, so wear long trousers and closed shoes, and bring sun protection and water.
Hotel pick-up and return transfer in an air-conditioned vehicle, an English-speaking guide and the guided ride itself are included, making this an easy and memorable daily tour and day tour from Marmaris for couples, friends and families.

Marmaris Horse Safari Programme The experience starts with a pick-up from your hotel in Marmaris and a transfer by air-conditioned vehicle to the starting point of the ride, away from the busy town centre. On arrival, every guest is paired with a horse that suits their level, since the horses available range from mounts for complete beginners to ones for experienced riders. The group then sets off on a guided ride of approximately two hours, with experienced staff riding alongside you the whole time. The route leaves the crowds behind and leads through traditional rural surroundings where you can observe everyday Turkish village life, before continuing along trails shaded by green pine forest with views stretching down to the deep blue sea. The pace is relaxed, leaving room to enjoy the scenery and take photos. At the end of the ride you dismount, say goodbye to your horse and are driven back to your hotel.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
