Sunset Horse Safari in Side
The same forest, countryside and shoreline as the standard ride — in the golden hour, when the light lies flat across the water and the heat has gone out of the day. A special ride, arranged separately.
Special booking — price on request
- Golden-hour light
- Forest, open nature, the coastal atmosphere
- Photo opportunities
- Separate booking — price on request
A sunset horse safari from Side is a special booking: it is not included in the €40 standard ride, it is requested rather than booked online, and its price may differ from the standard fare. Send us the date you have in mind and how many of you there are; we reply with availability and the price, and nothing is booked or charged until you say yes.
What a sunset ride is
A guided ride timed for the last light of the day. The route can take in the pine forest, the open land behind Side and the coastal atmosphere of the shoreline stretch — and the reason people ask for it is the light: low, warm, and the kind that makes the photograph you were hoping for.
The exact route may vary with weather, ground conditions, horse welfare, safety and the group's ability, just as on the standard ride. The pace is a relaxed walk with the guide alongside; a faster stretch is at the guide's discretion for experienced riders only, never promised.
Why it is booked separately
The standard ride runs on the day's schedule with hotel pickups across the whole Side strip. A sunset ride needs a different departure, a group that fits it and light that cooperates — so it is arranged on request, and the price is confirmed with you before anything is booked. We do not print a price here because the honest answer depends on the day.
What we can tell you: sunset is not something we can guarantee — cloud is cloud — and a sunset ride is still a horse ride, with the same helmet, briefing, matched horse and guide as always.

- Hotel pickup from the Side strip, as on the standard ride; your exact pickup time is confirmed with the booking

- Bring your phone or camera — this is the ride people photograph
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
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.
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.
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.
