Rafting in Antalya: 14 km down Köprülü Canyon
The river runs cold from the Taurus mountains, a shock after Antalya heat.
A 9-hour rafting activity on a 14 km stretch of river in Köprülü Canyon near Antalya, with guide, lunch, equipment and hotel pickup included. You paddle through rapids and calmer sections, ride in a raft with 4–6 or 8–12 other people, and eat a Turkish meal outdoors among the trees. An experienced guide accompanies each raft and enforces safety procedures before departure. Canyoning is available for an extra charge.
The Experience
The rafts leave from the rafting headquarters after your guide checks life jackets and safety procedures. You'll paddle 14 km downriver through Köprülü Canyon, moving through white water and gentler stretches where you can catch your breath. The river source is fed by streams off the Taurus mountains, so the water stays cool even in the height of summer. Other rafts travel the same stretch, and friendly races can be arranged if your group wants to compete.
Lunch happens outdoors under the cliff faces, a Turkish meal served among the evergreen trees that line the canyon. The whole trip takes 4–5 hours on the water plus time at the headquarters and for the meal, making a full 9-hour outing from hotel pickup to drop-off. Bring water shoes or sneakers that can get wet, a towel, and a moderate level of fitness — you're paddling, not floating.
If canyoning interests you, that's an add-on for 10 euros extra. The guide will explain what that involves when you arrive.
What’s included
- Hotel pickup and drop-off in Antalya.

Is this one for you?The pace is steady paddling with breaks in calmer water, and you'll be wet and active for most of the 4–5 hours on the river — choose this if you want the physical engagement of moving the raft yourself rather than watching from a boat.
