Who picks what (from booking data):

• Cruise crew with 4-hour windows → quad (most common) • Couples on shore time → buggy 2-seater • Families with kids 8-12 → family buggy • Multi-day stay, want one big adventure day → jeep • Older guests, beginners, no engines → horse • Group of 6+ mixed prefs → convoy mix

Trail wise: quad/buggy use the same Pamucak coastal route. Jeep is the only one going into the Dilek Peninsula mountains and Long Beach Club. Horse is on the same Pamucak coast but a separate calmer trail.

Lunch: only the jeep safari includes lunch. The others have a sea-break with optional swim. None include alcohol; all include water + helmets.

Best time of year: May-October. June-September is peak. Late afternoon golden-hour sessions are best for photos. Sunrise rides on request (May-September only).
