If you're looking for a tour that brings a little adventure, a touch of romance, and unforgettable scenery—Side Sunset Jeep Safari is exactly what you need. Designed for families, couples, and nature lovers, this evening trip takes you off the beaten path and into the heart of the Turkish countryside.
A Warm Welcome and Hotel Pick-Up
Your journey begins between 4:30 and 5:15 PM, when our jeeps pick you up directly from your hotel in Side. There’s something exciting about stepping into one of these rugged 4x4s—with the sun beginning to dip and a soft breeze blowing, you know you’re in for a special evening. Our drivers are experienced locals who know these backroads like the back of their hand—and they make sure everyone, from kids to grandparents, feels safe and welcome.
Through Villages and Forests
As we drive through quiet villages and past the rolling green hills of the Taurus Mountains, you'll start to feel the world slow down a little. The roads get narrower, the air smells like pine and earth, and for a while, all you hear is the wind and the occasional laugh from another jeep. This isn’t a race—it’s a chance to really see the land around Side, to enjoy the countryside from a fresh angle.
Boat Trip on the Tranquil Green Lake
Before long, we reach Green Lake—a hidden jewel nestled in the mountains. Here, we trade the jeeps for a calm boat cruise, gliding gently across water so still it reflects the trees and sky like a mirror. For an hour, you can stretch out, take photos, and let the kids marvel at the fish swimming beneath the surface. If you’re a couple, this is a perfect moment to sit side by side and simply enjoy the peace.
Dinner by the Water
After the boat ride, we gather at our lakeside restaurant—a simple but charming place, surrounded by nature. As the sun begins to lower, we serve a freshly grilled chicken dinner, with crisp salad and your choice of pasta or rice. It’s nothing fancy—just honest, delicious food shared in good company. The kids have plenty of space to explore nearby, and parents can finally relax a bit.
Sunset, Wine, and Music
Now comes the highlight of the evening. As the sky turns golden-orange, we bring everyone together at a lookout point by the water. Soft music begins to play, and we offer each adult guest a glass of red or white wine to enjoy as the sun sets behind the hills. It’s hard to describe this moment until you’ve lived it—the glow of the lake, the peaceful hush over the group, the feeling of being exactly where you should be.
The Journey Back
On the way back, the mood is light and happy. The jeeps roll through the twilight with music playing and stars slowly appearing overhead. We stop for a few photos along the way, capturing the last moments of light or sharing a laugh with new friends. When we drop you back at your hotel, it’s with full hearts and a camera full of memories.
This isn’t just a jeep safari—it’s a quiet escape, a shared sunset, a family story, a romantic evening. Whether you’re traveling with kids, your partner, or even solo, the Side Sunset Jeep Safari is a perfect way to end the day.
