Step-by-step itinerary

Rafting and Jeep Safari Adventure

• Arrive at Köprülü Canyon
• Enjoy white-water rafting
• Experience off-road Jeep Safari

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel in Antalya and a drive to Köprülü Canyon, where you get fitted with a helmet and life jacket, take the paddle, and push into the water. The canyon walls rise around you as the guide leads the group through white-water sections. The current does the work, but you're the one steering. The rapids vary in intensity, so there's room for both first-timers and people who've done this before. The guide reads the water and the group and moves at a pace that holds.

After rafting, you climb into a 4x4 Jeep for the second half of the day. The vehicle takes forest trails and mountain roads that open up views of the canyon from above: a different angle on the same landscape you just paddled through. Lunch happens somewhere in the middle of the day, included and built into the schedule so the rhythm doesn't break. The jeep ride is rougher terrain than a standard road, which is the point. It's not a sightseeing cruise.

The guide speaks English, German or Russian depending on the group, and knows the canyon well enough to point out what matters: the geology, the wildlife, the way the water moves. You'll need at least a moderate level of fitness for the paddling and the physical setup of the day, and anyone with a spinal injury or pregnant should skip this one. Sport shoes for rafting are available to rent on-site if you don't bring your own. The return to your hotel wraps up the 10 hours, though exact timing depends on traffic from Antalya.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, German and Russian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 11 years). Children under 4 can't be included in the booking.

What is Köprülü Canyon like when you're rafting through it?

Köprülü Canyon is a narrow gorge carved by the river, with steep rock walls on both sides and white-water sections that range from moderate to challenging. The guide leads you through the rapids while the canyon walls frame the whole experience. It's the landscape you navigate, not just look at.

Do I need rafting experience to book this?

No. The combo is designed for adventure lovers of all ages and all experience levels. The guide handles instruction and pacing. You just need a moderate level of physical fitness and the willingness to paddle and hold on through the rapids.

What happens during the jeep safari part?

After rafting, the 4x4 jeep takes you through forest trails and mountain roads around the canyon: a rougher, off-road drive that shows you the landscape from above and from a different angle than the water route. It's not a smooth scenic drive. It's built for the terrain.

Is lunch included, and when do we eat?

Yes, lunch is included and happens during the day as part of the schedule. The timing fits into the flow of the rafting and jeep sections so you're not stopping for hours or eating at the very end when you're already tired.

What's included in the price, and what do I need to bring?

Hotel pickup and drop-off, professional guide, lunch, helmet, life jacket, paddles and the jeep ride are all included. Sport shoes for rafting are available to rent on-site if you don't have your own. Bring a change of clothes, sunscreen and a towel. Drinks are not included.
