Jeep Safari & Quad Safari

Extreme Sports

The jeep safari is one of the most popular day trips from Fethiye: a convoy of open 4x4s drives through villages and mountain roads to the ancient city of Tlos, the trout restaurants and waterfalls of Yakapark and the Saklıkent gorge, often with a mud bath and lunch on the way. On hot days the jeeps have water fights, so expect to get wet. The quad (ATV) safari is shorter and more active: after a safety briefing you ride a quad yourself, or as a passenger, on dirt tracks through the pine forests above Ölüdeniz and Hisarönü with a guide. Some tours also visit the Gizlikent waterfall.
