Tour Overview

Get ready for one of the most exciting outdoor experiences in the Antalya region with our Side Rafting Adventure in Köprülü Canyon. This full-day tour takes you from the Mediterranean coast deep into the Taurus Mountains, where crystal-clear river water, dramatic canyon walls, and powerful rapids create the perfect setting for an unforgettable white water rafting experience.

Your day begins with a comfortable hotel pickup from Side and surrounding areas. After a scenic drive through forests and mountain villages, you arrive at Köprülü Canyon National Park, one of Turkey’s most famous rafting destinations. Here, the Köprüçay River flows through a spectacular canyon, offering ideal conditions for both beginners and adventure lovers.

Upon arrival at the rafting base, you are welcomed by licensed professional rafting guides. You receive high-quality safety equipment including a helmet, life jacket, and paddle, followed by a detailed safety briefing. Even if it’s your first time rafting, the guides explain everything clearly, ensuring you feel confident and secure before entering the water.

The rafting route covers approximately 10 to 12 kilometers, passing through narrow canyon sections, wide open valleys, and refreshing natural pools. You will paddle through exciting white-water rapids, laugh as the boat splashes through waves, and then enjoy calmer sections where you can float, swim, and admire the stunning nature around you. Ancient Roman bridges, pine forests, and turquoise water make this journey as scenic as it is thrilling.

Midway through the adventure, there is a riverside break where you can rest, swim, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the canyon. After completing the rafting route, a delicious lunch by the river is served, typically including grilled chicken, rice, fresh salad, and bread — the perfect way to recharge after an active morning.
