Long Beach Safari Pickup: The Earliest Round on the Strip
Long Beach is the resort strip on the coastal road north of town, closest of the in-zone areas to our Pamucak trailhead. Pickups here open the route at 09:45 for the 11:00 session.
Long Beach, Uzun Plaj, is the resort strip stretching north along the coastal road: big holiday complexes like Ephesia, Batıhan, Atlantique and Flora Apart, plus smaller properties between them. For safari logistics this is the lucky side of town, because the van reaches the Pamucak trailhead in roughly 10 to 15 minutes after the last pickup.
When the van comes
Pickups here start the morning round at 09:45 (14:45 for the afternoon tour). Atlantique Holiday Club and Fantasia De Luxe guests wait at the hotel security gate, since security does not let our vehicle inside; everyone else meets the van at the hotel entrance. Hotels not on the list, like Sentinus or Risus, share the time of the nearest listed property and we confirm it on WhatsApp.
The trailhead sits about 10 to 15 minutes away, and the schedule builds backward from the 11:00 or 16:00 start, not from your lobby.
If your hotel is not on the pickup list, you are collected with the nearest listed property within walking distance; send the name on WhatsApp and the exact time and point come back confirmed.
Traffic can nudge a pickup a few minutes either way, so plan around the confirmed time in your WhatsApp message and be out a little early.
Entrance or gate
Most guests wait at the hotel entrance.
How the tour runs
Once wheels move, the day runs identically for every guest: briefing, the convoy ride on the beach and the inland dunes, a sea break halfway, return to the trailhead.
The return leg lands you back around 13:30 to 14:00 on the morning session or 18:30 to 19:00 on the afternoon session.
Payment stays simple: cash on tour day in EUR, USD or TL, or card when you book online. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the tour; inside 24 hours the booking is non-refundable, and if weather or safety cancels on our side you get a full refund or a free reschedule.
Worth knowing
Several Long Beach resorts are security-gate pickups: you wait at the gate, not reception, and the office tells you which applies to your hotel.
Because the strip sits between town and Pamucak, guests here get the shortest transfer leg and the longest post-tour afternoon.

Questions
My hotel is not on your list. What happens?
Nothing complicated. You share the pickup time of the listed hotel within walking distance, and the exact point and time are confirmed on WhatsApp after booking.
Is 09:45 too early for kids?
It is the earliest slot, yes. If a slow morning matters more, book the 16:00 tour: the same hotels are collected at 14:45.
How long is the tour?
The ride runs at the guide's pace with a swim break midway, plus transfers each side. Morning guests are back around 13:30 to 14:00.
