Koprulu Canyon Combo: Rafting, Buggy, Monster Truck & Zipline Adventure from Antalya
One action-packed day in Koprulu Canyon: paddle crystal-clear rapids, charge muddy tracks in a buggy, feel the rumble of a monster truck and soar across the gorge by zipline. This practical guide explains what to expect, how to prepare, and how to get the most from the trip.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure your valuables
Use a small waterproof dry bag or leave phones in the provided transport — the rafting and buggy sections are wet and bouncy.
Footwear matters
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes that can get wet and provide grip for both raft and buggy transitions.
Listen to briefings
Follow guides’ safety instructions for raft paddling and zipline harness use; they control timing and rescue contingencies.
Time your visit
Arrive early in the day to avoid the hottest hours and to get the best river conditions for rafting.

Conservation Note
Koprulu Canyon is part of a protected area; stick to marked launch and landing sites, avoid disturbing riverbanks, and use licensed operators to limit environmental impact.
The Köprüçay (Köprülü) River has carved the canyon over millennia; ancient routes and scattered stone ruins along the valley reflect Roman and Byzantine-era connections between inland Anatolia and the coast.
