Antalya: Rafting, Quad Bike & Zipline Combo Day Trip

Summary

Raft wild rivers ride quads zipline Antalya forest day out

You’ll paddle wild rapids on Koprucay River with a local guide, ride quad bikes through pine-scented mountain trails near Antalya, and fly across a zipline above green forests—all with hotel pickup and lunch included. Get ready for laughter, muddy shoes, and moments that stick with you long after you dry off.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I remember is the smell—pine needles and that earthy, wet-rock scent as we got out of the van up in the mountains outside Antalya. My shoes were already a bit muddy from the trail to the riverbank. Our guide, Cem, handed me a helmet and grinned like he knew what was coming. I tried to look brave but honestly, my heart was thumping louder than the water. The Koprucay River looked colder than I’d expected. When Cem shouted instructions over the noise, I barely caught half of it (but he winked—he’s done this a million times). We all climbed into the raft together, paddles clumsy at first. Water splashed up my sleeve right away—icy shock—and everyone started laughing.

Somewhere along those rapids, you kind of forget about everything else. There’s just spray in your face and the sound of people shouting (half fear, half joy). At one point we stopped to swim—well, some swam; I mostly flailed around trying not to swallow river water. Lunch after that felt like a reward: simple food but honestly delicious when you’re starving and still shivering a bit. The quad bikes came next—dusty trails winding through forest that smelled sharp and green. I stalled mine twice before getting the hang of it (no one judged). Cem kept making jokes about city drivers getting lost in the woods.

I didn’t expect much from the zipline—I’ve done those before—but standing on that little platform with wind tugging at my shirt made my stomach flip anyway. The view down into the gorge was something else; you could see sunlight flickering on water way below, trees swaying. It was over too fast but left me buzzing for hours after. By the time we piled back into the van for Antalya, everyone was sunburned and swapping stories in three languages. I still think about that cold splash at the start—it sort of set the tone for everything after.
