Rafting in Köprülü Canyon with Jeep Safari: Two tours combined with lunch

Six hours of off-road driving and river rapids in one day

Rafting in Köprülü Canyon combines a full-day jeep safari through the Taurus Mountains with an afternoon on the river, including lunch and hotel pickup. You start with an off-road drive past ancient bridges and mountain villages, then move to the rapids for a guided raft descent with a swimming break afterward. The activity runs 6 hours total and suits groups and families with children from age 4.

The experience

The day splits into two halves. You begin with a jeep safari through Köprülü Canyon, driving the mountain roads that pass through the Taurus range, old villages and ancient sites. Your driver stops for photos along the way, so you can capture the canyon walls and the landscape without losing time. After the off-road portion, you move to the river itself.

The rafting section puts you on the water with a guide, navigating the rapids of the gruff river that cuts through the canyon. This is where the physical part happens: you're paddling, reading the current, working with the group to move through the flow. Once you've finished the descent, there's time to swim in the calmer sections and dry off before heading back. Lunch is included and comes during the day.

Hotel pickup is part of the booking, so you don't arrange transport to the start point. The guide speaks English, German, Russian or Turkish depending on your group. Children from age 4 can join, though the rafting itself demands that they be comfortable in moving water and able to follow safety instructions.
