Horse riding on the golden sandy beach of Antalya is one of the gentlest ways to enjoy the Turkish Riviera, and this short day tour is built for riders of every level, including complete beginners. We collect you from your hotel, introduce you to a calm, well-trained horse and let an experienced instructor guide you until you feel at ease in the saddle. From there, you spend around three hours riding along the shoreline with the Mediterranean on one side and wide views all around.
Riding on sand feels very different from riding on a trail. The ground is soft, the horse moves with a smooth, cushioned step, and the pace stays unhurried, which makes this daily tour a good choice for families and for anyone who has always wanted to try horseback riding without pressure. Antalya's coastline is famous for its long beaches backed by the Taurus Mountains, and seeing it from the saddle gives a quieter, more personal view than a crowded promenade.
Before setting off, the instructor gives a short briefing on how to sit, hold the reins and steer, then matches each guest with a suitable horse. Once everyone feels confident, the group heads out along the beach, stopping for photos along the way. This Antalya day trip is fully guided in English. Lunch is not part of the programme, so plan a meal before or after the ride. Comfortable trousers, closed shoes, sunscreen and a hat are recommended. If you are looking for an easy, memorable activity close to your hotel, this beach ride from Antalya is a lovely half-morning or afternoon escape.

Beach Horse Riding Programme Your outing begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Antalya, followed by a short drive in an air-conditioned vehicle to the riding stables near the beach. On arrival the instructor welcomes the group, explains the basic rules of riding and helps each guest choose a horse that suits their experience. Beginners need not worry: if you are unsure how to mount, the instructor is right there to help, and nobody leaves until they feel comfortable in the saddle. Turkish tea and apple tea are offered during the visit. Then the ride begins. For about three hours you follow the golden sand of the Antalya shore, enjoying the soft, steady rhythm of the horse on the beach, the sound of the waves and the open sea views. There are pauses for photographs and moments to simply take in the scenery as the breeze comes in off the water. Confident riders can take a little more control of their horse while the instructor keeps an eye on everyone. When the ride is over, you are transferred back to your hotel.

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!
