Rafting Köprülü Canyon with Tazı Canyon safari and lunch

Paddle through rapids, then explore two canyons from an open-top bus

A 9-hour day trip from Antalya combining 12 kilometers of rafting through Köprülü Canyon National Park with a cabrio bus safari to Tazı Canyon, lunch at the canyon restaurant, and hotel pickup and drop-off. The package bundles four activities (rafting, canyon exploration, scenic drive and a meal) into one outing, so you move between different landscapes and activities without arranging separate bookings.

The experience

You start with pickup from your Antalya hotel around 8:30am and reach Köprülü Canyon roughly 90 minutes later. The rafting spans 12 kilometers through the canyon's river, moving through sections with varying current and rock formations. A guide leads the group. You operate the paddle and navigate the water yourself. Rafting equipment is provided, and you spend about 4 hours total in the canyon: time split between the river itself and a break at the canyon's restaurant.

After rafting, you board an open-top cabrio bus at the restaurant for a 45-minute drive to Tazı Canyon. The vehicle has no roof, so the ride itself is part of the experience: you see the landscape change as you climb away from Köprülü. Once at Tazı Canyon, you get a 30-minute photo break to walk and shoot pictures before the bus retraces the route back to Köprülü Canyon's restaurant. Lunch happens here, giving you time to rest between the physical effort of rafting and the drive.

The full day (pickup, rafting, the cabrio ride, canyon time and lunch) takes 9 hours from start to drop-off. An air-conditioned vehicle handles the transfers, so you're not arranging your own transport to the canyon or managing the logistics between sites. Children from age 6 can join. The activity is open to all fitness levels, though the operator notes it is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or significant cardiovascular concerns.

Is this one for you?Pickup from Antalya means you don't need a rental car or arrange separate transport to the canyon, so this works whether you're staying in the city without wheels or want to skip the drive yourself. The mix of rafting, a scenic bus ride and lunch in one booking also means you're not coordinating multiple operators across the day.

How far is the rafting section and what kind of rapids should I expect?

The rafting covers 12 kilometers through Köprülü Canyon National Park. The description mentions heart-pounding rapids, so the current varies. A guide leads the group and equipment is provided, but you are paddling and navigating the water yourself rather than riding as a passenger.

What happens during the cabrio bus part of the day?

After rafting, you ride in an open-top cabrio bus for 45 minutes from Köprülü Canyon to Tazı Canyon. The drive is scenic and the bus has no roof, so you experience the landscape directly. At Tazı Canyon you stop for 30 minutes to explore and take photos before returning to Köprülü Canyon's restaurant.

When and where do I eat, and what is included?

Lunch is served at the restaurant inside Köprülü Canyon after you return from the Tazı Canyon drive. The meal is included in the package. Drinks are not.

Does the price include getting to the canyon from Antalya?

Yes, pickup from your Antalya hotel and drop-off at the end of the day are both included. You reach the canyon around 10:00am after roughly 90 minutes of travel from the city.
