Konakli Horse Riding at a Ranch – Forest & Mountain Trails
An hour in the saddle among pines and riverside meadows: Konakli is in the free-transfer area of the ranch, so the minibus collects you at your hotel and the trainers match you with a horse that suits your experience.

From Konakli to the stables
Riding times are agreed individually, so we arrange your pickup in Konakli after booking – morning rides and the popular sunset rides fill up first. The transfer is free for Konakli hotels, and you are back at your accommodation about four hours after pickup.
At the ranch the trainers introduce you to the horses, explain how to sit, steer and stop, and hand out helmets and riding equipment. Then the group sets off behind the guide for roughly an hour along forest paths and over gentle hills, with stops for photos and, on some routes, a short dip in the water. First-timers stay at a calm walk; riders with experience can ask for livelier stretches. Back at the ranch there is time to relax, say goodbye to your horse and look at the photos before the drive home.
Before you saddle up
- Tell us the age, height and riding experience of each rider when you book.
- Long trousers and closed shoes are far more comfortable in the saddle than shorts and sandals.
- Bring water and sunscreen – the trails are shaded, but summer days are warm.
- Drinks and photos are not included.
Pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Konakli, the guide and all riding equipment are included, and you pay on the tour day. Fancy exploring the Taurus on four wheels instead? See the Konakli jeep safari.
