Olympos ATV Safari Tour: Quad Adventure on Forest and Creek Trails

The Olympos ATV safari tour is one of the most in-demand land activities in the region. The approximately 10 km trail consisting of pine forests, rocky paths, and creek crossings offers a balanced level of challenge and excitement for both beginners and experienced ATV riders alike.
Throughout the tour, an experienced guide accompanies the group; directing the route, pointing out safe crossing points at the creek, and organizing a photo stop at an elevated rest point. Helmet, goggles, and gloves are included in the tour price; no extra preparation is needed on your part.
Organized every day from April to November in two sessions — morning and afternoon — the tour takes place at a location easily accessible from Olympos, Çıralı, and Adrasan.

ATV Safari Trail Details

The approximately 10 km trail consists of three distinct sections. Each section offers its own natural conditions and riding experience.

Forest Section

The trail begins through the pine forests surrounding Olympos. Passing along dirt and rocky paths, this section offers some of the most enjoyable moments of ATV riding, accompanied by sunlight filtering through the trees. Thanks to the shade of the forest, this part of the trail remains cool and refreshing even in summer; this advantage is particularly noticeable during the morning session.

Creek Crossing

The most thrilling section of the trail, the creek crossing offers a different experience depending on the season. In spring and autumn, following rainfall, the creek bed fills with a shallow flow of water; during this period, splashing through on an ATV becomes one of the most enjoyable moments for both children and adults. In summer, the creek largely dries up; in this case the trail continues over the rugged terrain of the dry creek bed, creating a different riding texture. The guide points out safe crossing points in both conditions.

Panoramic Rest Point

Upon reaching the highest point of the trail, a short photo stop is made. From this point, a sweeping panorama of the Olympos valley, the surrounding mountains, and the Mediterranean visible in the distance can be taken in. This break set aside for photography and catching your breath marks the visual highlight of the trail.
