Helmets, Goggles and Dust: The Gear Question Settled

Dust is the safari's main souvenir, and gear is how you keep it out of your eyes and mouth. Here is what we provide, what is optional, and what you might buy on site.

Helmets are provided free for every rider on quad and buggy, and wearing one is your choice: the owner rule is optional, not mandatory. Most guests still take them, because a gravel road and a convoy of vehicles make their own argument. On the horse safari helmets are provided and worn during the ride.

Goggles or sunglasses are the purchase most guests do not regret: dust finds eyes faster than it finds clothes. They are recommended rather than required, and a supply is sold at the site if you arrive without. Add a bandana or buff for your mouth, gloves we provide, and a zip bag for the phone, and you are dressed for the day.

The rules

  • Helmets: optional on quad and buggy, provided free; provided and worn on the horse safari
  • Goggles: recommended; sold on site if you arrive without
  • We provide: helmets, gloves, water and the safety briefing

The day itself

The tour itself is the same for everyone: a safety briefing first, then the ride led by the guide through Pamucak's sand and scrubland, a swim break midway, and the ride back to where you started.

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.

Details that matter

Long hair under a helmet is more comfortable tied low; keep jewellery that can snag off your hands and neck.

You can pay in cash on the day (EUR, USD or TL) or by card at online booking. 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.

Questions

Is the helmet really optional on the quad?

Yes, by owner decision. It is free, it is offered, and most riders wear it; the choice stays yours.

Do I need my own gloves or goggles?

Gloves we provide. Goggles or sunglasses you can bring or buy at the site; the sea-spray and dust both argue for them.

Can I cancel?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour. Inside 24 hours it is non-refundable; if we cancel for weather or safety you get a full refund or a free reschedule.

What should I bring?

Closed shoes for quad and buggy, swimwear under your clothes for the sea break, sunscreen applied early, sunglasses, and a phone in a zip bag. Helmets, gloves and water are provided.
