About This Tour

If you’re staying in Side or Manavgat and looking for a proper adventure day away from the beach, Köprülü Canyon is the place I always recommend. Located around 70 km from Side, this spectacular part of Köprülü Canyon National Park is home to the Köprüçay River, where clear mountain water flows through the Taurus Mountains and creates one of the most popular rafting routes in Antalya.Rafting here is about more than just getting into a boat and paddling. You spend the day in the heart of the canyon, enjoy the scenery, tackle the white-water sections and take a break by the river for lunch. Professional river guides are with you throughout the trip, and all necessary safety equipment is provided before you start.Free hotel transfer is available from Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Titreyengöl, Sorgun and nearby resorts, so getting to Köprülü Canyon is easy.If you want more than classic white-water rafting, you can also combine your rafting trip with Jeep Safari, Quad Buggy Safari or Zipline. For a full day of adventure, I usually recommend the Super Combo. It’s a great option if you want to get away from the hotel for the day and experience a completely different side of Antalya.Every rafting trip includes hotel transfer, professional guides, safety equipment and a riverside lunch. In my opinion, Köprülü Canyon rafting is one of the best things to do in Side and Manavgat if you want to experience the nature and adventure side of Antalya beyond the beaches and all-inclusive resorts.
