Cappadocia Horse Riding Tour

Discover Cappadocia's magical valleys on horseback, keeping alive the tradition of the "Land of Beautiful Horses." Horses, an important part of Anatolian culture for thousands of years, offer one of the most special ways to experience Cappadocia's fairytale landscapes in the most authentic way. Riding native Anatolian and Arabian horses under the guidance of a real Turkish cowboy, you'll embark on an unforgettable journey through the region's unique nature. Our route winds through the valleys around Göreme and Çavuşin, passing fairy chimneys, vineyards, rock-carved churches, and impressive hilltops, filled with breathtaking scenery. Whether you choose a sunrise, sunset, or midday tour, each hour reveals a different face of Cappadocia. At sunrise, you can capture incredible shots alongside hundreds of hot air balloons rising above the valley; at sunset, you can experience a romantic and magical atmosphere among mountains adorned in golden and crimson tones. The tour is suitable for everyone, from beginners to experienced riders. A short briefing is given before the tour, and helmets are provided for your safety. During the approximately 2-hour tours, you can rest and enjoy a drink at authentic rest stops in the valley. These breaks offer a great opportunity to soak in the surroundings and chat with other guests. Horseback riding is not recommended during midday in summer due to the heat, making early morning or sunset tours the most popular options. Outside of summer, tours are available throughout the day between 11:00 and 20:00. Weather permitting, full moon tours also offer an extra magical atmosphere. All our departure points are in Göreme or Çavuşin. If you request a hotel transfer, it will be arranged; if not, the meeting point and time will be sent to you via SMS or email. A culture stretching from the Hittites to the present, an authentic experience, a romantic getaway, or simply stunning shots for Instagram — whatever your reason, the Cappadocia Horse Tour offers an unforgettable adventure for everyone.
