4.Buggy Safari at Koprulu Canyon National Park – 20 km riding experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $40

You’ll ride a buggy for about 20 km near Koprucay River, following a guide through an off-road circuit with a 15-minute swim stop. The roughly four-hour outing includes hotel pickup, helmet, insurance, a driving briefing, practice laps, and a post-tour video. Expect mud, water, convoy riding, and optional paid photos.

“This wasn’t as advertised. Location was not the national park or Koprucay river. So not sure why this is advertised as something which wasn’t delivered. Anyway for the money it was decent enough, you are just following a convoy so for any thrill seekers there isn’t any opportunity to speed up on this, scenery was mediocre, still reasonable value for the money”
