Overview

The hours around sunset give Cappadocia a completely different character. As the sky shifts from orange to red to purple, the silhouettes of fairy chimneys create a dramatic tableau and the valleys are bathed in warm light. The Sunset Horse Riding Tour lets you experience this visual spectacle from the saddle, moving at nature's own pace through the most striking hour of the day.

The tour begins approximately 1.5 hours before sunset at the ranch. After equipment preparation and a briefing, you ride into the valleys. Over the 2-hour route you pass through Sword Valley, Rose Valley, Red Valley and surrounding trails. Your guide times the stops so that you are at the best viewpoints as the sun goes down, giving you time to take in the moment and photograph the scene.

Temperatures can drop in the evening, so a light jacket is recommended. This tour is designed for travellers, couples and photography enthusiasts who want to combine Cappadocia's most romantic and dramatic moment with the gentle rhythm of horseback riding.
