THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel
Raft 15 km of Köprülü Canyon, swim in clear river pools, then switch to a buggy or ATV for an hour of off-road fun — a full-day combo from Antalya that pairs whitewater with rugged trails.
Raft 15 km of Köprülü Canyon, swim in clear river pools, then switch to a buggy or ATV for an hour of off-road fun — a full-day combo from Antalya that pairs whitewater with rugged trails.
The river bends ahead with a hiss — cold water pushing against the inflatable as pine-tipped cliffs close in. You shoulder a paddle, listen to the guide count down, and the raft surges into a braided run of clear, fast-moving rapids carved through limestone. Later, grease and dust replace spray as a line of buggies climbs a ridge, throwing loose gravel into a valley that smells of sun-warmed scrub.

The river bends ahead with a hiss — cold water pushing against the inflatable as pine-tipped cliffs close in. You shoulder a paddle, listen to the guide count down, and the raft surges into a braided run of clear, fast-moving rapids carved through limestone. Later, grease and dust replace spray as a line of buggies climbs a ridge, throwing loose gravel into a valley that smells of sun-warmed scrub.
Köprülü Canyon National Park sits on Miocene limestone cut by the Köprüçay (Koprucay) River, its gorge exposing layers that tell a slow geological story. The area is dotted with traces of human history — Roman bridges and caravan routes used long before modern roads connected Manavgat to Antalya. Local villages still harvest olives and citrus in terraces above the canyon.
On this full-day combo you’ll raft roughly 15 km (about 2–2.5 hours of on-water time) with guided stops for a quick swim, followed by lunch at Rapido Restaurant. The buggy or ATV leg runs about an hour through park tracks; vehicle order can change depending on conditions and pickups from Antalya. Guides provide safety gear and instruction, making the run accessible to beginners, though the terrain requires attention and a steady grip.
Practical tip: schedule this early in the day in summer to avoid the hottest hours, bring quick-dry layers and waterproof storage for phones, and be ready for dust on the off-road section. The combo balances adrenaline with the canyon’s calm stretches — a day that moves from riverbed to ridge and back into the scrub-scented air of southern Turkey.
The rafting covers about 15 km and takes roughly 2–2.5 hours on the water, with a short swim break included.
No prior experience is required; guides provide instruction for rafting and buggies are driven on marked routes with supervision.
Roundtrip hotel transfer from Antalya is typically included — confirm pickup point when booking.
Infants and children aged 0–6 can join the tour, but only participants aged 7 and up may take part in the activities.
