Cappadocia ATV Quad Safari Through Rose, Love & Red Valleys

Cappadocia ATV quad safari: the key facts

This is a guided off-road quad bike ride of about two hours through four valleys near Goreme: Sword Valley, Rose Valley, Love Valley and Red Valley. A short safety briefing and a practice loop come first, and you get a helmet and protective equipment. A guide rides ahead and stops for photos. Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Cappadocia are included. You do not need a driving licence, and double-rider quads let a partner ride with you without driving.

It suits active travellers who want something other than museums and walking tours, and couples or friends who want to share a quad. The price is from $44 per person. It runs daily at a time that suits you, including sunset sessions, with no minimum group size.

Do we need a driving licence or riding experience?

No. The page says no driving licence is needed. Before the ride you get a basic briefing and a short practice loop to learn the controls. If one of you does not want to drive, you can share a double-rider quad. The page does not give a minimum age for drivers or passengers, or say whether children can ride. If you travel with children or teenagers, ask us in writing before you book whether they can drive, ride as a passenger, or neither.

Which valleys does the ride go through?

The trail runs through Sword Valley, Rose Valley, Love Valley and Red Valley. These are valley floors and dirt tracks that tour buses cannot reach. The guide stops at viewpoints for photos along the way. The exact track can depend on ground conditions on the day. If you want to see Red Valley and Rose Valley on foot as well, they are part of the southern Yellow Tour on several of our packages.

When should we go: daytime or sunset?

You pick a time that suits you. Sunset sessions are offered, when the valley rocks take on warmer colours. A daytime ride fits well after a morning balloon flight or before a dinner show. The page does not say whether the sunset slot costs more than the price shown, so ask for the price of your chosen time in writing. We also list a separate sunset ATV quad safari through Red and Rose Valley, from $65 per person; ask us which product matches the time you want.

What should we wear?

The tracks are dirt, so expect dust, especially in dry months. Wear clothes you do not mind getting dirty, closed shoes and sunglasses, and bring a scarf or buff to cover your nose and mouth. A helmet and protective equipment are provided. In cooler months, and on sunset rides, bring a warm layer, because temperatures drop once the sun goes down. Leave valuables at the hotel, and keep your phone in a zipped pocket.

Is insurance included?

The page does not mention insurance for this activity. The inclusions list hotel transfers, the ride, the briefing and the protective equipment only. Before you book, check whether your own travel insurance covers quad biking, as some policies may exclude it. You can also ask us in writing what cover, if any, the operator provides and what happens if a quad is damaged. Ride at the pace the guide sets and keep your distance from the quad in front.

Are photos included, and what language is the briefing?

Photos and videos are not included; they are sold separately. You can take your own photos at the stops, but do not use a phone or camera while driving. The inclusions do not name a language, but the FAQ suggests the ride is guided in English. If you need another language, ask before you book. The page also compares this ride to a balloon watching tour "from €24, €15 less than this tour", which does not match the $44 price shown here, so go by the price in your confirmation.

What can we combine it with?

For a sunrise view of the balloons, book the balloon watching tour, from $35 per person, or a standard balloon flight, from $199 per person, then ride the quads later in the day. For a slower way through the same valleys, see the Cappadocia camel ride, from $59 per person, or horse riding, from $90 per person. For a full guided sightseeing day, the Best of Cappadocia day tour is from $57 per person.
