This Full Day Baku Adventure Tour offers just that — a carefully curated itinerary combining outdoor activities, sports, and scenic stops that promise both excitement and memorable moments. While this tour packs a punch for thrill-seekers, it also caters to those curious to try new things in a friendly, supportive environment.

What we genuinely love about this tour is its variety — from horse riding in a scenic setting, to practicing shooting at a Europe-sized complex, and hitting the go-kart track with modern, safety-first karts. The chance to enjoy bowling and billiards at a leisure center wraps up the day perfectly. The tour’s flexible, friendly guide, and the opportunity to experience Azerbaijan’s local equine culture are real highlights.
