Cappadocia Sunset Horse Riding Tour: 2-Hour Valley Ride with Hotel Transfers

KTLY084709 · Cappadocia

About this tour

Spend two hours on horseback winding through the valleys of Cappadocia, the central Turkiye region known for its wind-carved rock. You'll ride past fairy chimneys, the tall cone-shaped rock formations the area is famous for, with a professional guide leading the way. Sunrise and sunset departures are both available, and either one puts you in the saddle when the light is best and the air is cooler. The horses are gentle and the pace is easy, so it works whether you've ridden before or never at all. Round-trip hotel transfers and a helmet are included.

Good to Know Before Your Ride

Rides run at several times through the day, but the sunrise and sunset departures book up first, both for the light over the valleys and for the cooler air. Reserve ahead if you can, especially in the busy summer months, so you get the time slot you want. Your guide will get you comfortable in the saddle before setting off, and the round-trip hotel transfer means you don't have to sort out your own way to the stables.

Wear long pants or jeans so the saddle doesn't rub, and put on closed-toe shoes or boots with a low heel for a solid grip in the stirrups. A long-sleeved shirt helps with the sun, and in the colder months you'll want layers. Skip anything loose or flowing that could snag on the horse or the tack. A helmet is provided.
