Select participants and date
The engine coughs to life and the first cloud of dust rises like a curtain pulling back on the wild side of Antalya. You thread a narrow track beneath umbrella pines; the trees lean close as if to whisper the route. Mud clings to the tires, the quad hums under you, and the Mediterranean air—warm, resinous, and bright with citrus—pushes at your visor. This is Gebiz: a raw, green pocket of forest and springs where the landscape dares you to move faster and then rewards you with cool water and a quiet view.

Adventure Tips
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy boots or trail shoes protect toes from mud, rocks, and the quad’s footrests for the whole ride.
Bring a reusable water bottle
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters; guides provide short breaks but hydration is your responsibility.
Protect your eyes from dust
Sunglasses or goggles reduce dust irritation—ask for goggles if the operator provides them.
Follow the guide’s pace
Guides know the line; stick to their instructions to avoid erosion-prone shortcuts and unsafe maneuvers.
