The Experience

Before You Go

Secure footwear

Wear closed, sturdy water shoes or old sneakers—no flip-flops—because both rafting and the buggy transfers involve wet, rocky terrain.

Dress in layers

Morning transfers into the mountains can be cool; bring a light layer you can stash before rafting and zipline sections.

Protect from the sun

Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for the open buggy runs and riverside lunch.

Follow safety briefings

Guides provide short training for rafting and the zipline—listen closely and ask questions before you go.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a riverside spot near the rafting put-in for a quiet swim away from the main groups
  • Drive past the main canyon to visit lesser-known mountain villages for fresh bread and local honey

Wildlife

  • Bonelli’s eagle (seen soaring over cliffs)
  • Mediterranean tortoise and occasionally wild goats on rocky slopes

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon and surrounding waterways are managed to protect river ecology—avoid littering, use biodegradable sunscreen, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

The Köprüçay corridor has Roman-era remains and old stone bridges; the river valley has linked coastal and inland communities for centuries.
