Antalya Horse Riding

If you're looking for a peaceful outdoor activity, horse riding is a great option. It’s a refreshing change from crowded tourist spots and lets you see a different side of Antalya. You don’t need previous experience—well-trained horses and helpful instructors make it easy for beginners. It's also family-friendly and offers a chance to connect with nature, take beautiful photos, and enjoy a quiet moment during your holiday. Some stables also offer pony rides for younger children, adding to the fun.

When booking a horse riding tour, check the riding location—some take place along the beach, others in the forest or mountains. Confirm if the package includes hotel transfers, insurance, and riding gear. Make sure the operator uses healthy, well-cared-for horses and employs experienced guides. If you’re a complete beginner or traveling with kids, choose a tour that specifically mentions being beginner-friendly. Also, read recent reviews to ensure the service is professional and the route offers the scenery you’re hoping for.

Wear comfortable trousers and closed-toe shoes—avoid sandals or shorts. A hat and sunglasses are useful in sunny weather, and sunscreen is a must. Bring a bottle of water, and if you want to take pictures, consider using a phone strap or action camera. Let the guide know in advance if you have any riding experience or special needs. Book during the cooler hours of the day—early morning or late afternoon—for a more comfortable ride. Lastly, relax and enjoy the bond between rider and horse—it’s a special experience!
