Buggy Cross Safari — Private Tour from Antalya

The Buggy Cross Safari plays out in the hills behind Kemer, where the Taurus Mountains tumble toward the coast in waves of pine forest. After a short safety briefing and a practice loop, you set off behind the wheel of your own buggy, following marked off-road trails that wind through woodland, open clearings and rustic village backroads.

The route is built for fun rather than speed. You rumble over rocky tracks, kick up dust on dry stretches and, in cooler months, splash through shallow streams and muddy patches that leave everyone happily covered. Two people share each buggy, so you can swap between driving and riding shotgun, with pauses to catch your breath, take photos and enjoy the scenery.

It is an active, playful way to see the countryside around Kemer, far from the beach resorts. Expect forest smells, fresh mountain air, the odd grazing goat and big views back toward the peaks rather than famous monuments.

Because the Buggy Cross Safari is private, the outing is built around you. After door-to-door hotel pickup, you travel out to the buggy base in the Kemer region, where you are fitted with a helmet, given a clear safety briefing and a short practice ride to get comfortable with the controls and gears.

From there you head out onto the trails as a small private convoy, following the lead guide at a relaxed pace. The driving part usually lasts around an hour or two, with breaks built in, before you return to base to rinse off the dust, grab a drink and dry out. Then your driver brings you straight back to your hotel.

The timing is flexible. If you would like a morning or afternoon slot, a slower run, or a little extra time at the base afterward, simply tell your driver when you book. Nothing is rushed, and no large group waits to move you along.

Your Buggy Cross Safari is door to door. We collect you directly from your hotel anywhere in the Antalya region, from the city centre and Lara to Belek, Kemer, Göynük and beyond, and return you to the same door once the adventure is over.

The drive to the buggy base in the Kemer region is around 50 km and roughly 50 minutes each way, following the coastal highway toward the mountains. You travel in a clean, air-conditioned car with a courteous English-speaking driver, and multilingual drivers can be arranged on request.

Because it is fully private, only your own party shares the vehicle. There is no waiting at other hotels, no crowded shuttle and no fixed group schedule, just a comfortable, direct ride out to the trails and back again with someone who knows the route.

The private transfer for the Buggy Cross Safari is priced per vehicle, not per person, so your whole party shares one clear fare. Prices start from €42 for a sedan suitable for up to about three guests, and from €55 for a Mercedes Vito minivan for larger families or small groups.

That fare covers your private vehicle, fuel and driver for the trip to the buggy base and back. The buggy rental and any safety equipment at the base are arranged on site and paid locally, which keeps the transfer quote simple and transparent.

There is no prepayment for the transfer. You pay the driver directly, in cash or by card, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. With no big groups and a vehicle reserved just for you, the day stays private, calm and easy from pickup to drop-off.

Wear clothes and closed shoes you do not mind getting dusty or muddy, as buggy driving is a messy, hands-on activity; many guests bring a change of clothes for the ride home. Sunglasses help against dust, and in cooler months a light extra layer is handy.

Plan for a half-day outing overall, including the roughly 50-minute drive each way and the ride itself. Late spring and early autumn are especially pleasant, with comfortable temperatures, though the safari runs through much of the year; summer runs can be hot and dusty, so bring water.

The Buggy Cross Safari suits couples, friends and active families. Minimum age and licence rules for driving a buggy are set at the base, but younger children can usually ride along as passengers with an adult at the wheel. With your own private car, it is easy to fit the trip around little ones and travel at your own pace.
