The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate and eat before you go

Seven hours and sun exposure demand a good breakfast and a full water bottle; refill opportunities are limited between transfers and lunch.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Buggies and riverside approaches are rocky and can be slippery — trail runners or hiking shoes are best.

Bring a waterproof pouch

Expect splashes on the rafting section and dusty trails on buggies — protect electronics and documents.

Time your booking by season

Choose morning or late-afternoon slots in summer to avoid peak heat and midday glare on the zipline.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Riverside picnic spots on the Dimçay tributaries for a quiet post-raft break
  • Small village viewpoints above the buggy tracks offering panoramic coastal glimpses at sunrise

Wildlife

  • Bonelli’s eagle and other raptors overhead
  • Mediterranean tortoises and occasional foxes along quieter trails

Conservation Note

Operators typically limit group sizes and emphasize leave-no-trace practices; avoid single-use plastics and respect riparian vegetation near rafting access points.

The Taurus foothills were traditional transit routes between coast and interior; many dirt tracks follow centuries-old shepherd and mule trails.
