Hotel Pick-Up
According to your chosen time slot — sunrise, midday, or sunset — your driver will pick you up from your Cappadocia hotel and transfer you to the local horse ranch.
Enjoy the scenic drive through Göreme National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll soon see the iconic rock formations that make Cappadocia world-famous.

They will provide a comprehensive safety briefing, explaining the basics of horse riding, controlling the reins, and using your safety equipment.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider, your instructors ensure that you feel comfortable and confident before setting off.
You’ll also meet your horse — all of which are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to riders of all experience levels.
Horseback Adventure Through Cappadocia
Once everyone is ready, your unforgettable horseback adventure begins!
Depending on your selected tour time, you’ll ride through the stunning valleys, vineyards, orchards, and rock-carved villages of Cappadocia.
Your route may include scenic highlights such as:
-
Rose Valley: Famous for its pink-tinted cliffs, glowing beautifully during sunset.
-
Love Valley: Known for its surreal, towering rock formations.
-
Swords Valley: Named for its sharp volcanic spires and narrow paths.
-
Cavusin Village: One of the oldest settlements in Cappadocia, home to rock-cut churches and cave houses.
As you ride along ancient trails and open plains, enjoy the serenity of Cappadocia’s unspoiled nature — a chance to connect with the land and the spirit of “the country of beautiful horses,” as Cappadocia was called in ancient Persian times.
Photo Stops
Throughout the journey, there will be several stops for photos and rest breaks. Capture stunning panoramic views of the valleys and fairy chimneys, with your horse adding the perfect touch to your Cappadocia memories.
Return to Ranch & Hotel Transfer
After approximately 1 hour of riding, return to the ranch where you can relax, share photos, and say goodbye to your gentle horse companion.
Your driver will then transfer you back to your hotel, with memories of a peaceful yet exhilarating experience in one of the world’s most enchanting landscapes.
