What you pay, and when
Horse riding prices in Side
One fare, one page, no asterisk. Here is what you pay for horse riding in Side, what that money covers, and what we cannot put a price on at all.
€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
€40 per rider. A child aged 2 to 10 pays the same €40 as an adult, because the riding centre charges one price per rider. Return hotel transfer from the Side resort areas, a riding helmet and about an hour of guided riding are all inside that figure. Payment happens at the riding centre on the day, nothing is taken at the moment you book, and a booking dropped more than 24 hours ahead costs nothing.
Why there is no child discount
Because the riding centre does not give one. A child takes a horse, a helmet, a place in the group and rather more of the staff's attention than an adult does, and the fare reflects that rather than the child's age.
What the €40 covers
- Return transfer between your hotel in the Side area and the riding centre, in an air-conditioned vehicle.
- A riding helmet and the safety equipment for the ride.
- About one hour of guided riding.
- Instructors and guides who ride with the group, not behind it.
- A safety briefing before you mount, and a horse the staff choose for you.
What it does not cover
These are real things at the riding centre that cost money. No figure has been given to us for any of them, so none is published here.
- Photographs taken for you during the ride.
- Food and drinks.
- Anything you spend on yourself at the centre.
Ask on the day and pay there if you want them. Your own phone in your own pocket costs nothing, and most guests come home with the photograph they wanted anyway.
The rides with no price on this website
Sunset, sunrise and private rides are genuinely sold — they are not a marketing device. What they do not have is a published fare: the riding centre arranges each one for the date asked for and quotes it when it confirms.
So this site shows no figure for them, not even a "from". Send a date and a rider count and you get a real number back from the people who will actually charge it.

- You pay at the riding centre on the day.
- Call it off at no cost any time more than 24 hours ahead.

The cancellation terms in full are on the cancellation page.

Questions guests ask
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.
When do I pay, and can I cancel?
Payment happens at the riding centre, on the day itself. Call off a booking any time up to 24 hours beforehand and it costs you nothing.
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.
Can I ride at sunset or sunrise?
Yes, but not as part of the standard hour — they are separate departures the riding centre arranges for the date you want, and it quotes the price when it confirms. Send us a date and we will come back to you.
Is there a weight limit?
The riding centre recommends a maximum of around 100–110 kg. That is guidance rather than a rule enforced at the gate — suitability is judged by the staff on the day against the horses available. If you are near it or above, tell us when you book and we will check before you travel.
