Canyoning in Köprülü Canyon: 2 km trek with waterfalls

Two kilometers of canyon, waterfalls, natural slides and a 2,000-year-old Roman bridge

Canyoning in Köprülü Canyon National Park near Antalya is a 3-hour trek through two distinct canyon types where you climb, swim and plunge into turquoise pools beneath waterfalls. The route includes natural waterslides, jacuzzi-like rock formations and an optional 9-meter jump into a waterfall pool, plus a visit to a Roman bridge that has stood for 2,000 years. Lunch and all gear—wetsuit, life jacket, helmet—are included; guides speak English, German, Arabic and Russian, and pickup is arranged from your hotel.

The Experience

The canyoning starts with a 2 km trek through Köprülü Canyon National Park, where the terrain shifts between two distinct canyon types. You'll climb through mildly challenging sections, swim across pools of clear water, and move through the canyon floor itself. The day builds toward the waterfalls: you'll encounter natural waterslides carved into the rock, pools that feel like natural jacuzzis, and the option to jump 9 meters into a turquoise pool below a waterfall if you want the adrenaline. Average fitness is all you need—the challenge is real but not extreme.

The Roman bridge that crosses the canyon dates back 2,000 years and stands as a landmark within the route itself, so you're not just passing through landscape but through history. Lunch happens after the main canyoning, giving you time to recover and eat before heading back. The gear—wetsuit, life jacket and helmet—is provided, and a guide leads the group in English, German, Arabic, Russian or one additional language, so the route and the safety calls are clear from the start. Pickup from your hotel is included, which means no separate transport to arrange.

Children from age 5 can join, though they'll need to be comfortable in water and following a guide through terrain that involves climbing and swimming. The activity is not suitable for people with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or pregnancy. Public transport options exist nearby if you prefer to meet the group at the canyon instead of hotel pickup.
