Moderate — you should be comfortable sitting and operating an ATV for 45‑minute stretches and able to handle short, controlled climbs.
Trade the resort rhythm of Kemer for torque, dust, and a plunge into a clear canyon pool. This guided quad tour through Goynuk Canyon pairs off‑road riding with a refreshing swim—ideal for first‑timers and experienced riders alike.
The engine coughs, the guide calls out a quick checklist, and the trail opens like a challenge. Pine-scented wind fills the visor as riders pick their line over loose rock and sun-warmed clay. Within 10 minutes the Mediterranean drops away and the mountains press in: this is Goynuk Canyon, where a 90‑minute quad loop punctuated by a cool swim compresses the raw geography of Antalya into an energetic half day.

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect toes from pebbles and provide better control on uneven sections.
Hydration is crucial—carry a refillable bottle in a small daypack; water is limited during the ride.
Dust and splash are common; use a ziplock or drybag for electronics and a lens cloth for immediate cleaning.
Instructors cover throttle, braking and passing protocols—pay attention to remain safe and keep the group moving.
Goynuk Canyon sits at the edge of ancient Lycian territory; the valley’s stone walls and terraces reflect centuries of small‑scale agriculture and mountain travel routes.
Stick to marked trails and avoid using sunscreens that can contaminate the pools; local operators emphasize leave‑no‑trace and limit group sizes to reduce erosion.
Grip and protection for rough, sometimes rocky trail sections.
Shades (and a thin liner under the provided helmet) reduce glare and keep dust out of your eyes.
