Köprülü Canyon Whitewater Rafting with Lunch

Get ready for a wet and wild day in one of Turkey’s most beautiful natural landscapes, the Köprülü Canyon National Park. After being picked up from your hotel in Side, enjoy a scenic drive through the Taurus Mountains to reach the rafting base nestled along the Köprüçay River.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your friendly, English-speaking guide who will provide a full safety briefing and outfit you with all necessary equipment, including helmet, life jacket, and paddle. No prior experience is needed, this tour is beginner-friendly and suitable for all ages over 6.

Once you’re suited up, hop into your raft and set off down the river for an unforgettable adventure. Paddle through exciting rapids, glide over calm stretches, and take in the spectacular canyon views as you navigate a 14 km (8.7 mile) route. Stop along the way for a swim in the cool, turquoise water and to snap some memorable photos.

At the end of your rafting journey, enjoy a well-earned break and a delicious lunch at a riverside restaurant. Savor a freshly prepared meal, typically grilled chicken or fish, rice or pasta, salad, and bread, while soaking up the serene natural surroundings.

After some free time to relax, change, and dry off, hop back in the vehicle for your return transfer to Side. This action-packed day is sure to be a highlight of your holiday in Turkey!
