Ride for two hours through Cappadocia’s volcanic valleys on a well-trained horse, with sunrise, sunset, and daytime departures. Guides such as Inan and Musa explain the basics, take photos, and lead the route. Hotel pickup from Goreme and Urgup is included.

“There’s nothing like waking up at the asscrack of dawn, getting transported by a man, who seems to be an rally sport racer, given the whipping of the van through the tight streets of Goreme, to a ranch that smells like horseshit. That’s culture. This was my first time riding a horse or even touching one, and let me tell you, it was way better that I anticipated. But not because I didn’t get bit, not because I didn’t get kicked, but because Inan is a great instructor and person, who made sure everyone was safe, happy, and having a good time. I will also add that he is a…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 112 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $124

You’ll ride trained horses through Cappadocia’s Rose and Red Valleys before sunrise, stopping at high viewpoints as hot-air balloons lift into the morning sky. Cemal Ranch supplies helmets, refreshments, hotel transfers, and an English-speaking guide. The two-hour ride suits beginners and experienced riders.

“Not sure why you're able to still book and pay for this activity as I don't believe it's still in business. I book everything based on reviews and this seemed the best, however looking into it more the last review left was August last year. Messaged this operator to check our pick up time and never got response. Was ready for 4am in case they decided to show up but never did. Viator not helpful at all, assured this place was still in business despite the fact they "could not reach" the operator.”

“I had a wonderful experience during the sunset ride! The organization was solid , with all the details shared well in advance and timely transfers. The team responsible for caring for both the riders and the horses did great job. You can leave belongings, like backpacks, at the starting point, which was very convenient. The staff was friendly and suggested to capture the moments with photos and videos throughout the ride. I recommend bringing some cash for tips, as they truly deserve it! The route through the valleys was stunning. The horses are lovely, though a bit spirited, so if you're a first-time rider, just be prepared. It’s not as…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $9

Set out from Göreme with an English-speaking team led by Hakan or Said for about two hours on horseback through Cappadocia’s valleys and fairy chimneys. Expect a small group of up to 10, hotel pickup, calm horses, and possible stops around Red, Rose, Sword, or Pigeon Valley.

“I had an amazing experience. The timing on the site wasn’t accurate (it’s earlier during winter time, so it would be nice to update), so I had to miss the end of another tour. I wasn’t happy about it but Phoenix worked with me, and arranged for me to be picked up at the agency. Hakan was very friendly and offered coffee, very lovely to converse with while I waited for my pickup. He said the owners of the ranch were friends of his and really cares for the horses.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $82

Start with a 4:30 am hotel pickup and ride calm horses through Red and Rose Valleys as Cappadocia wakes. Your guide handles the horses and photos, while traditional clothing adds local character. The route suits first-time riders, but you should have moderate fitness and expect early-morning cold.

“Eda is the best tour guide! We joined her for the Green Tour, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her insightful explanations about the history and culture of Cappadocia truly enriched the journey, making it not just informative, but also so much fun. Eda’s warmth, friendliness, and wealth of knowledge made this trip unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting the area!”
