Main Info
Our Fethiye horse riding tour offers a peaceful escape into the pine forests above Hisarönü and Ovacık. If you would like a break from the beach and a slower, more scenic side of the region, this is a lovely way to enjoy the natural surroundings, fresh mountain air and quieter trails of the Fethiye countryside.
This experience is suitable for both complete beginners and more confident riders. Our horses are calm, trail-trained and chosen for relaxed forest rides rather than fast-paced riding. Before you set off, our team will help with helmet fitting and explain the basics clearly, so you can feel comfortable and confident from the very beginning.
The route follows shaded woodland paths around the hills of Hisarönü and Ovacık, with beautiful natural views along the way. It is a gentle and enjoyable activity for guests who want to experience nature, spend time with well-cared-for horses and enjoy a different side of Fethiye away from the busy coastline.
