Koprulu Canyon Full-Day Rafting, Buggy Safari & Zipline from Antalya

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.
