The Experience

Before You Go

Expect to get wet

Rafting runs last about two hours and will soak you — bring a quick-dry change of clothes and a towel.

Secure loose items

Use a small dry bag or leave electronics on the hotel shuttle; ziplines and rafts can jostle or dunk personal gear.

Footwear matters

Sturdy water shoes with good grip protect feet during raft entry and while boarding the jeep on uneven surfaces.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Highland sun can be strong even when cool; carry water, sunscreen, and a brimmed hat for transfers and lunch breaks.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Riverside tea gardens near the rafting put-in where locals pause for çay
  • Short forest tracks off the main jeep route that open onto panoramic village viewpoints

Wildlife

  • Wild goats on the higher ridges
  • Raptors (e.g., eagles) hunting thermal winds above the canyon

Conservation Note

Stay on designated paths, avoid leaving litter by riverside picnic sites, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact on fragile riparian habitats.

The Taurus Mountains have long stood as a natural barrier between coast and interior; nearby villages preserve Ottoman-era rural life and the region sits close to ancient Lycian routes used for trade and seasonal migration.
