Getting there and back
Horse riding in Side with hotel transfer
You do not need a car, a taxi or a plan. A vehicle collects you from your hotel, takes you to the riding centre and brings you back, and all of that is already inside the €40.
€40 per rider
- Hotel pickup and return included
- About an hour in the saddle
- Nothing to pay online — you pay on the day
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before
The return drive from your hotel sits inside the €40 fare, across ten Side resort areas: Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Side itself, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç, Kızılot and Çenger. The pickup run works along the coast road from Gündoğdu eastwards to Çenger, and your exact pickup time depends on which hotel you are in, reaching you before the day rather than being printed here.
How the pickup run works
The pickup run follows the coast road eastwards, from Gündoğdu through Side and on to Çenger. Your time depends on which hotel you are in, and it reaches you before the day.
That is why a guest in Gündoğdu and a guest in Kızılot are not collected at the same time, and why neither of them can be told a time before the day's list exists. What we can promise is that your time comes to you with your booking, and that nobody is left standing at a hotel gate guessing.
There is no single pickup time to print, because it depends on your hotel.
The areas we collect from
The run starts at the Gündoğdu end and finishes at Çenger, and both are among the ten areas the fare covers. West of Side, in the order the run reaches them, come Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki and Kumköy; then Side itself; then, to the east, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç, Kızılot and Çenger.
Every one of the ten listed areas is inside the fare. There is no supplement for being at the far end, and no cheaper fare for being next door.
Each area has its own page with its hotels and what the run means for it — the links are in the list below this section.
When your hotel is somewhere else
The booking form will not quietly take your reservation. That is deliberate: accepting a pickup we have not agreed would be promising you a driver who may never arrive, and finding that out on the day, on holiday, is not a thing we are willing to cause.
Instead, choose "somewhere else" in the form and send us the hotel name. We come back with whether we can reach you, and on what terms. Guests staying inland, or towards Belek or Alanya, are exactly who this path is for.
You can also just message us on WhatsApp with the hotel name before you book anything.
What the vehicle is, and what it is not
It is an air-conditioned vehicle shared with the other guests on that departure. It is not a private car, and the riding centre does not sell it as one — if you want the whole day to be yours, that is a private ride, which is arranged and quoted separately.
The same vehicle takes you back. You are not left to find your own way home from the countryside.
Pickup
Where we collect from
Return transfer from the Side resort areas is part of the price. The pickup run works its way along the coast road; your exact pickup time depends on your hotel and is sent to you before the day.
West to east: Gündoğdu → Side → Çenger
Staying inland, or further towards Belek or Alanya? We never accept a pickup we have not confirmed first. Write the hotel name to us and you will get a straight answer about whether a vehicle can reach it, and on what terms.

Questions guests ask
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes, from the ten Side resort areas — Gündoğdu through Side itself and east as far as Kızılot and Çenger. Your exact pickup time depends on which hotel you are in, and it is sent to you before the day.
How long does it take?
About an hour on horseback. Door to door — collection, the road out, the introductions, the briefing and the road home — allow roughly 3 hours away from your hotel.
How much does horse riding in Side cost?
€40 per rider for the standard hour, and a child pays the same as an adult. Return transfer from your hotel in the Side area is included in that. You pay at the riding centre on the day — nothing is taken online when you book.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Horse riding is outdoors. In heavy rain, a storm, extreme heat or unsafe ground the riding centre may change the route, move the time or reschedule you. Safety and the horses' condition come before the timetable.
