Quad Biking and Horse Riding; Super Combo Tour from Marmaris

Pick up was late, wish it hadn't arrived at all! The coach driver had no consideration for passengers, driving on mountain roads, mobile phone in hand and swerving on the wrong side at speed. Tailgating and swinging round vehicles on blind bends. On arrival, complaint about driver was ignored and the group were left for an hour with no communication. Ultimately set off with appalling safety precautions. Children not strapped in, an engine on fire and another quad with a flat tyre that were dismissed as just carry on, no problem. Enroute passed donkeys and horses tethered in the heat. Stop every few minutes for staged photo and videos. Awful experience. They never used to be like that.

Booked into this experience at our hotel for about £2OPP, we are a couple for point of view, we were given a Shuttle service that was good however the bus sounded like a tank but got you from A to B, (Around 20mins journey from Marmaris) on arrival we were greeted by the team who made us sign discloser contracts. You are offered a Buggy or Quad we went for the buggy as we have quads back home. The staff spoke through the process very well and made sure everyone understood even split up all the various nationality and gave each group a instructor who could speak there language (this may not be available for everyone). We done 10 mins driving round the practice course getting muddy and soaked by various different appliances (I won't spoil it) and we're asked to swap over to ensure we both knew how to drive. We then went down a dusty road full of pots holes and a moderate speed it could be faster, and went inside a woody area where we stopped and had a water fight with with a bunch of hose was good fun. (could of done more driving in the woods though and more mud!) We swapped over driver and then done the course in reverse back to main course where we continued to get muddy and wet and bubbly!!! Overall it was a good experience, worth buying the glasses £3 it stops dirt dust and soap going into your eyes, we weren't bother by the snoods they offer, as we aren't snood people. Also lockers are 20l, which is about 58p. Also taking water is worth it, but you can also buy drinks, ice lollies and hotdogs as well when you are there. Top tip take old clothes cause your going to get DIRTY! They provide outside showers which you can rinse yourself off with and toilets. Our bus driver wasn't overly fussy about the mess we weee in. It was nice to see a photographer out and about However only major complaints was £20 for 3 photos we didn't buy them as it was very expensive to us. After speaking to another couple £20 seems to be the standard for pictures. Neither of us where up for taking our phones in case they dropped out, but if you have a spare or getting a new contract you could take it for photos. A go pro would also be a good idea. We then got back on our shuttle tank and went back to our hotel. Overall recommend the experience!

Calling this a "safari" is really stretching the imagination! An unchallenging drive along bumpy, dusty tracks at a very sedate speed, with no real vistas to enjoy would be more accurate. An adrenalin trip it most certainly isn't! Maybe it was down to the extremely good & dry weather, but there were no river crossings or obstacle courses with jumps as are depicted in the advertising brochures & photos. Contrary to what I was told at the time of booking, the seats on the buggies are not adjustable for leg length, so, if you are short in the leg, please be prepared for this. My petite daughter was not allowed to transfer from a buggy to a quad because "it was too dangerous", and having paid for 4 individual machines, she didn't get the chance to have the experience of actually driving herself, (even though she is a fully qualified & licenced car driver), and she ended up accompanying me in my buggy. No discount was offered. Be prepared for a lot of standing about, both before the experience, and afterwards at very basic facilities. Being held back after you've had your less than 1hr run-out is undoubtedly to facilitate the opportunity for them to try and sell ridiculously priced photos.
