Float 14 kilometers through Köprülü Canyon on the Köprüçay for a full-day whitewater run from Antalya. This guided trip pairs varied rapids with a riverside lunch, hotel pickup, and options for both first-timers and experienced paddlers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low rumble builds under your feet as the transport winds down a narrow road into a cleft of limestone. The canyon narrows, pines press close to the cliff faces, and the Köprüçay—clear, cold, and impatient—pushes at the riverbanks like a guide daring you forward. By the time you unload at the put-in, the guide has already described the route options and checked life jackets; the day ahead is enough whitewater to satisfy first-timers and a few longer rapids for those who want a push.

Köprülü Canyon has been a transit route since antiquity; you’ll pass small stone bridges and the scars of Ottoman-era paths along the river.
Conservation

Hydration and snacks
Bring a 1–2 liter water bottle or hydration bladder—lunch is provided but you’ll be on the river all day and will sweat more than you expect.

Closed-toe sandals or river shoes with a good tread protect toes on shore entries and make hiking to lunch easier than flip-flops.
Sun protection
Wide-brim hat, sunscreen and a long-sleeve quick-dry top cut the sun exposure on open stretches—reapply sunscreen after swimming.
