A day trip from Antalya into Koprucay Canyon delivers white-water rafting and short canyoning pitches through limestone walls fed by mountain springs. Expect 12–14 km of river, moderate rapids, hotel pickup, lunch and guided instruction—ideal for active travelers comfortable with moving water.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Koprucay River narrows, the canyon walls tighten, and the sound of water moves from steady background to a dare: paddle harder. Start in Antalya and within an hour or two you’re threading a corridor carved by spring-fed flows that drop from the Taurus Mountains into the Mediterranean.

Non-slip footwear
Wear closed-toe, grippy river shoes—regular sneakers get waterlogged and slippery on wet rock; rentals are often available at the canyon.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phone, ID and cash in a compact waterproof pouch—your group moves between boats, rocks and lunch spots.
Sun and heat management
Wear reef-safe sunscreen and a sun shirt; midday in summer can be very hot before and after the river sections.
Know the age and health limits
Minimum rafting age is commonly 12 and travelers with serious heart or spinal conditions should avoid the trip.
Non-slip river shoes
Secure traction on wet rocks and in the raft—far better than sandals or flip-flops.
