Swap the beach for forest tracks and mountain passes on this daily SUV off-road safari tour from Belek. Riding in open off-road vehicles, you follow the winding roads of the Taurus range above the Antalya coast, stopping at traditional villages and scenic viewpoints along the way. It is a lively daily excursion for anyone who loves hills, fresh air and a little dust on their shoes.
The Taurus Mountains rise steeply behind the Turkish Riviera, separating the warm coastal plain from the Anatolian plateau. For centuries their slopes were home to semi-nomadic shepherd families, the Yoruk, who moved their flocks between the lowlands in winter and cooler highland pastures in summer. Several of these small settlements still sit among pine forests and valleys, and the safari stops at one of them, giving you a glimpse of a simpler way of life only a short drive from the big resorts.
Before setting off, the group gathers with the tour leader for a short briefing about the route. The convoy then climbs through the woods, crosses picturesque passes above the valleys and splashes through shallow streams. Midway, you pause for lunch at a family-run village restaurant; please note that the meal itself is not included in the price. Wear clothes you do not mind getting dusty or wet, and bring sunglasses and a scarf.
As a Belek day trip, this outing pairs naturally with a relaxing beach holiday and suits families with older children as well as adventurous couples.

Taurus Mountains Off-Road Safari Programme We pick you up from your hotel in Belek and drive to the meeting point, where everyone gathers to meet the tour leader. After a short briefing on the route, the convoy of open off-road vehicles sets off toward the Taurus Mountains. The road soon leaves the coastal plain behind and climbs through pine forest, following tight serpentine bends with views opening over the valleys below. The first major stop is a small nomad village, where you can see how the highland families live and walk among their simple houses and gardens. The convoy then continues over scenic mountain passes before stopping for a lunch break at a small village restaurant, a peaceful spot with a beautiful natural backdrop (lunch is at your own expense). After the meal there is time to wander through the village centre. On the way, the vehicles drive through the foaming waters of a mountain stream, a highlight that usually brings plenty of laughter, and there are further breaks for photos and refreshments. At the end of the safari you are transferred back to your hotel in Belek.

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!
