Sunrise Horse Safari in Side
The earliest ride of the day: the trails still quiet, the air cool, the first light coming up over the countryside behind Side. A special ride, arranged separately from the standard safari.
Special booking — price on request
- Early morning, before the heat

- Separate booking — price on request
A sunrise horse safari from Side is a special booking: it is not part of the €40 standard ride, it is requested rather than booked online, and its price is confirmed with you before anything is arranged. Tell us your date and group and we reply with availability and the price — nothing is booked or charged until you confirm.
What a sunrise ride is
A guided ride timed for first light. The appeal is the quiet: the forest trails before anyone else is on them, the open land in cool air, the day beginning around you rather than already under way. For riders who want the calmest possible hour on a horse, it is the one to ask about.
As on every ride, the route may vary with weather, ground conditions, horse welfare, safety and the group's ability; the pace is a relaxed walk with the guide alongside.
Why it is booked separately
An early departure means an early pickup and a group assembled for it, outside the day's standard schedule. So a sunrise ride is arranged on request, the price is confirmed with you first, and we would rather say 'ask us' than print a figure that depends on the day.
We cannot promise the sunrise itself — weather is weather — and a sunrise ride is still a horse ride, with the same helmet, briefing, matched horse and guide.

How this differs from the standard ride
The standard 1-hour horse safari costs €40 per rider, runs daily with hotel transfer included, and is booked online in a minute. A special ride is arranged separately: the timing is different, the price may differ and is confirmed with you before anything is booked, and availability depends on the day. If you simply want to ride, the standard ride is the quicker route.

Questions
Can I book a sunrise or private ride?
You can request one. Sunrise, sunset and private rides are arranged separately: tell us the date, the group and the occasion, and we reply with availability and the price. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
Is the sunset ride included in the €40 price?
No. The sunset ride is a separate, special booking. It is requested through the sunset page, the price may differ from the standard ride, and we confirm it with you before anything is booked.
What time will you collect me?
Your exact pickup time is assigned from the day's operational schedule and sent to you before the day, on the number you give us when booking. We deliberately do not print one universal time, because there is none: it depends on your hotel and the day's route. Please be ready at your hotel's main entrance gate shortly before your confirmed time.
Do I pay online?
No. Nothing is charged when you reserve and we do not ask for card details. You pay on the day.
