How the safari works
We collect you from your hotel in Kusadasi or Pamucak, or from Kervansaray, the historic caravanserai about 50 metres from the cruise port exit. A short ride brings you to our camp near Pamucak.
At the camp you get a helmet and a safety briefing. The vehicles are simple to drive, so you do not need a driving licence or any previous experience. Our guides stay with first-timers until they feel comfortable.
You then drive in a convoy behind the lead guide on dirt roads and through pine forest, with views over Kusadasi bay. Everyone keeps a steady, safe pace: there is no racing and no overtaking.
Halfway, the convoy stops on Pamucak beach. In summer you can go for a swim in the sea. After roughly an hour and a half of driving in total, the shuttle takes you back to your hotel or the port.
Quad or buggy?
On a quad you sit astride and steer with handlebars; on a double quad your partner sits behind you. A buggy has a steering wheel and two seats side by side, so it feels more like a small car. On double vehicles you can swap drivers at the beach stop.
Morning or afternoon
The morning safari starts at 11:00 at the camp and you are back around 13:45–14:15. The afternoon safari starts at 16:00 and you are back around 18:45–19:15. Pickup is between 09:40 and 10:40 for the 11:00 safari and between 14:40 and 15:40 for the 16:00 safari, depending on your hotel. The booking form shows the pickup time for your hotel.
