Select participants and date
Dust from the trail lifts behind the convoy as quad bikes thread a ribbon of dirt beneath an open sky—pine needles crackle under tires, and the sea hangs like a silver promise on the horizon. The Kemer Quad Safari begins with that first throttle; within minutes the Mediterranean scrub and forested slopes of the Beydağları range close in, and the appliances of hotel life—sunbeds and cocktails—feel a world away.

Adventure Tips
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or light hiking boots protect your feet from mud, rocks, and the quad’s footrests.
Bring at least 1 liter of water
Hydrate before the ride and carry water—heat and dusty trails make dehydration easy.
Use sun protection
Sunscreen, a neck buff and sunglasses reduce sunburn risk during exposed sections.
Secure your camera and phone
Use a wrist strap or dry pouch; loose items can be lost on bumpy sections or during the swim break.
