About this experience
Cappadocia, known as the “Land of Beautiful Horses” is the ideal place to explore on horseback. Horses have held a distinctive place in Cappadocia history for thousands of years and the unique landscapes around Goreme are perfect for exploring on a native Anatolian or Arabic horse – with a real Turkish cowboy! We also offer all-day trail rides and multiple-day excursions on horseback. Additional Information on horse riding tours: Some riding experience is recommended as there are several areas where you may be required to dismount and walk the horse and then mount the horse again to continue the tour. The Turkish cowboy will be with you the entire time for assistance but you will be expected to handle your horse during the tour. Helmets are available at the ranch upon request. Depending on the season, a light jacket may be necessary as you will be at different elevations during the tour. Comfortable clothing and flat shoes are recommended.

Horse back riding
It was a good experience for first time riding, the horses are well behaved and fun to be around. The horses are clean and don’t smell like wild animal so you don’t need to worry about that. It was a couples experience so you can get pictures with your spouse.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that your first horseback riding experience in Cappadocia was so enjoyable and that you felt comfortable with our well-trained horses. It’s wonderful to know that the experience was also special as a couple’s activity with memorable photo opportunities. Warm regards, SKYWAY Team

Awesome views on horseback!
We enjoyed a 2 hour horseback ride with Rasit as our guide. It was very enjoyable, towards the end we stopped to purchase coffee and refreshments. They took an initial photo, then while on the tour by the Red valley (which was beautiful) our guide helped us with more photos. The pace was nice and slow, they give you a helmet and help you get comfortable and give you guidance on how to maneuver the horse. It was very funny sometimes the horse wanted to stop and eat plants. I would highly recommend it. No galloping was done although horse sometimes wanted to. Transport to and from the location was provided.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for sharing your experience, We’re thrilled to hear that your horseback ride through Cappadocia’s valleys was such an enjoyable adventure, From the beautiful scenery to the relaxed pace and thoughtful touches along the way, it sounds like a truly memorable outing, Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back for more unique experiences in Cappadocia, Warm regards, SKYWAY Team 🎈

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.
How much does Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Goreme is not rushed.
Is Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Goreme can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Goreme within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Goreme?
+
On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Goreme?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Goreme?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
