A low, dry wind pushes dust off the parking lot as the guide checks life jackets; downstream, the river answers with a thin roar. On the Köprülü Canyon Rafting Tour, inflatable rafts shimmy out from under a wooden jetty and slide into water born of the Taurus Mountains. The first few strokes are calm—long glides between limestone buttresses—then the river finds its teeth and the paddles bite in earnest.

Wear water-ready footwear
Sneakers or aqua shoes with good grip are best—flip-flops slip on wet rocks and won’t protect your toes during portages.
Hydrate before and after
Even though you’re on the river, the Antalya sun and exertion dehydrate quickly—bring a reusable bottle and drink on breaks.
Secure electronics
Use a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras—mid-raft splashes are frequent.
Listen to your guide
Guides give simple paddle and brace commands—follow them to stay safe through the rapids.
Aqua shoes or sturdy sneakers
