White Water Rafting in Kemer: 14km Köprülü Canyon route

Run the Köprülü Canyon rapids on your own terms, with guides who know every rapid

White water rafting in Kemer takes you 14 kilometers down Köprülü Canyon's crystal-clear river, surrounded by the Taurus Mountains. Professional guides lead both beginners and experienced rafters through the route. Lunch and hotel transfer from Antalya, Kemer, Belek, Side or Alanya are included. You can add ziplining, buggy safari or ATV riding to the same day, or simply swim and rest between rapids.

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel and a drive to Beşkonak Village in Köprülü Canyon National Park. Once there, a professional guide runs through safety and technique before you get on the water. The 14-kilometer route mixes calmer stretches where you can take in the mountain scenery with sections that demand focus and paddle work. The water is cold and clear enough that you'll see the riverbed, and the canyon walls rise steeply on both sides. Beginners and families do this route regularly. The rapids are manageable, not extreme.

After rafting, you have options. Some people swim in the river to cool off. Others book an add-on like ziplining over the canyon, a buggy safari through the terrain, or an ATV ride. If you skip the extras, you rest and eat. Lunch is included and happens at the site. The whole outing runs about eight hours from pickup to drop-off, so it takes most of a day but leaves your evening free.

Guides speak English, Spanish, Italian, French and several other languages, so communication is straightforward. The air-conditioned vehicle means the drive to and from the canyon is comfortable, and all rafting gear is provided. If you're coming from Side, Alanya or Belek, the transfer is longer but still included. The operator picks you up and brings you back to your hotel.

Is this one for you?The fixed eight-hour window means the day fits between a morning arrival and an evening flight, or between other plans in your week. If you want to combine rafting with other adventure activities (ziplining or a buggy ride), you choose that package at booking and stay in the canyon for all of it rather than making separate trips.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Turkish.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 9 years); Infant (under 4): free.

Can I do this rafting trip if I've never rafted before?

Yes. The 14-kilometer route is designed for both beginners and experienced rafters. The guide gives a full safety briefing and stays with the group throughout, so first-timers get the instruction they need before pushing off.

What happens if I want to add ziplining or a buggy safari to the rafting?

You choose your package at checkout: rafting alone, or rafting combined with buggy and ziplining, quad and ziplining, or buggy and ziplining. The add-ons happen at the same location after the rafting portion, so you stay in Köprülü Canyon for the whole day.

Is the hotel pickup really included from all those towns?

Yes. Transfer from your hotel in Antalya, Kemer, Belek, Side or Alanya is included in the price. The drive varies by location (Side and Alanya are farther), but the operator picks you up and returns you to your hotel on the same day.

What's included in the lunch?

Lunch is provided at the site after rafting. The operator includes it as part of the package. Drinks are not included and are available for purchase.

How fit do I need to be for this?

You should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The rafting itself is not extreme, but paddling for two hours and moving in and out of the boat requires some strength and endurance. The operator does not recommend this activity for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnant travelers.
