Konakli Jeep Safari in the Taurus Mountains
Banana groves, pine forest and an ice-cold mountain river: from Konakli you are only a short drive from the Taurus foothills, where the 4x4 jeeps leave the tarmac for a full day of dirt tracks, village life and a swim in the Dim River.

Your jeep day from Konakli
The minibus collects you at your hotel in Konakli on its way along the coast. We confirm your exact pickup time after booking. Konakli lies only about 12 km west of Alanya, so the drive past the town to Oba, where the jeeps are waiting, usually takes around half an hour.
After a short safety talk the convoy turns inland and climbs into the Taurus Mountains. Expect bumpy forest tracks, a stop at the Kadıpınar waterfall, freshly made gözleme in a Yörük nomad tent and two mountain villages where life still follows the seasons. A viewpoint high above the Dim dam puts the whole valley at your feet, and lunch is served at a restaurant on the Dim River, where you can cool off in the water. A friendly water fight between the jeeps is almost guaranteed before the convoy heads back down in the afternoon.
Good to know for guests in Konakli
- Wait at your hotel entrance a few minutes before your pickup time – the bus already has guests from hotels further west on board.
- Wear clothes that may get wet and dusty, and pack swimwear and a towel for the river.
- Keep your phone and camera in a waterproof bag during the water fights.
- Drinks are not included, so a little cash is handy.
Pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Konakli and lunch are included, and there is no prepayment – you pay on the tour day. Looking for a quieter day with a canyon walk? See the Sapadere Canyon jeep safari from Konakli.

Frequently asked questions
When will the bus pick me up in Konakli?
That depends on where your hotel is in Konakli. We confirm your exact pickup time by WhatsApp or e-mail after booking.
How far is it from Konakli to the start of the safari?
The jeeps set off from Oba, just east of Alanya. From Konakli the drive along the coast takes about half an hour, depending on traffic.
Is the jeep safari suitable for children?
Yes – children love the water fights and the swim in the river, and they travel at the reduced child price. Because the tracks are bumpy, the safari is not recommended for pregnant women or guests with back problems.
Do we drive the jeeps ourselves?
No, experienced local drivers are at the wheel – you simply sit back and enjoy the views.
My hotel is not on your list – can you still collect me?
Yes. We pick up from almost every hotel in Konakli; just enter your hotel name in the booking form and we will tell you the time.
