Pair off-road adrenaline with foamy river rapids on this six-hour Side combo: a morning buggy safari through Taurus foothills followed by guided rafting on the Köprüçay, finished with a riverside lunch. Practical for beginners and families seeking an active, scenic day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light cuts across the Taurus foothills as a convoy of buggies threads a stony trail and the Köprüçay river waits downstream, silver and insistent. The day moves between two paces: the rough, torque-driven sprint of an off-road buggy and the close, wet focus of navigating foamy Class II–III rapids. Expect dust on your shoes in the morning, cool river spray by noon, and a simple riverside lunch that tastes better for the exertion.

Wear water-friendly footwear
Choose secure, closed-toe shoes that can get wet and still provide traction on buggy pedals and raft floors.
Bring a spare change of clothes
You will get wet on the river and dusty on the trail; a dry set of clothes for the return makes the trip comfortable.
Protect electronics
Leave non-waterproof devices at your hotel or use a waterproof case — tablets and phones are not recommended.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Carry a refillable bottle and sip regularly; the mix of sun and activity can dehydrate you faster than expected.
Water shoes or secure sneakers
Grippy footwear protects feet on wet raft floors and in buggy footwells.
