The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure, quick-dry footwear

Closed-toe sandals or lightweight trail shoes that drain quickly keep your feet protected during rafting and stable during the buggy ride.

Bring a small dry bag

Keep your phone, documents, and a spare layer in a small dry bag—water and dust are both part of the day.

Check pickup time and hotel region

Pickup windows vary by hotel area—confirm the exact time the night before to avoid delays.

Be honest about medical limits

If you have back, heart, or pregnancy concerns, sit this one out; the operator restricts participation for safety.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • A quiet lunchtime pebble beach below the main rapids for a cooling swim away from the group
  • Short walking paths off the main staging area that open to cliff-edge viewpoints not visible from the river

Wildlife

  • Golden jackal
  • Various waterfowl such as herons and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is a designated national park—stay on marked paths, avoid single-use plastics, and follow guides’ instructions to minimize impact on river habitats.

The Köprülü Canyon corridor has been used since antiquity; nearby Roman bridges and ruins mark the region’s long role as a transit route through the Taurus range.
