Pro Tips
- 1.Book your ride for early morning (8-9 AM) to avoid the midday heat and enjoy cooler temperatures, especially during summer months.
- 2.Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes (sneakers are fine). Sunscreen and hats are essential as much of the beach route has limited shade.
- 3.Request a family group booking when reserving to ensure your party rides together with a dedicated guide who can adjust the pace for younger riders.
- 4.Bring a waterproof phone case or camera, as some beach routes allow for stunning photo opportunities near the water.
- 5.Confirm that guides speak English when booking. Most do, but it helps to verify for safety instructions and communication with kids.
Best Time to Visit
Visit during spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) for the most comfortable weather. Early morning slots are ideal to beat the heat and crowds, with calmer horses and better lighting for photos along the beach.
What to Know
Rides typically cost moderate prices ($$) and include all equipment. The stable is located slightly inland from Side's main tourist area, so arrange taxi transportation or ask about hotel pickup options when booking.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round, but summer months (June-August) can be extremely hot for riding. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant conditions. Winter (December-February) is cooler but still viable with proper layering.
Nearby Eats
Head to Side's old town area (5-10 minutes away) where you'll find numerous family-friendly restaurants like Ocakbasi Restaurant with Turkish grills and pizza options, or beachfront cafes along Side's harbor offering fresh seafood and kid-friendly mezze platters.
