Cappadocia Sunset Horseback Ride with Hotel Pickup

Ride through Cappadocia's Ak Vadi, Killik, and Mantar valleys on a 2-hour sunset horseback tour with hotel transfers and guide.

Getting started

Begin with hotel pickup from Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, or Çavuşin for your round-trip transfers to the ranch. On arrival, meet your TÜRSAB-accredited riding guide and check in for your 2-hour sunset horseback riding session. After you are matched with a calm, trained horse, the guide outlines the plan for the route through Ak Vadi, Killik, and Mantar valleys.

What to expect

Cappadocia sunset horseback route

This is a single continuous ride through Cappadocia's volcanic landscape, passing Ak Vadi (White Valley), Killik Valley, and Mantar Valley at sunset. The pace is set for a relaxed horseback walking experience, suitable for first-time riders as well as those with previous experience.

Features

• Practical preparation comes first, with basic riding instruction and a safety briefing before departure, plus a safety helmet provided for every rider and insurance coverage during the riding activity.
• A calm, trained horse is matched to your experience level so you can focus on the scenery while following your TÜRSAB-accredited riding guide throughout the route.
• The 2-hour sunset horseback riding session leads you through Ak Vadi, Killik, and Mantar valleys, where you ride among fairy chimneys, volcanic rock formations, and cave dwellings that illustrate Cappadocia's volcanic history.
• Scenic photo stops along the route include panoramic viewpoints over the valleys, giving you time to capture the changing light and rock shapes before continuing along the trail.

Wrapping up

After the ride, you return to the ranch to dismount and then use the included hotel pickup and drop-off service for your journey back to Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, or Çavuşin.
