The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you start
You’ll be active for most of the day; drink water before boarding and carry a small water bottle in a dry bag for between segments.
Choose footwear for wet and rough terrain
Wear closed-toe water shoes or rugged sandals for rafting and sturdy hiking shoes for quad/Jeep sections to avoid slips and protect toes.
Protect against sun and spray
High SPF sunscreen and a quick-dry hat keep you comfortable; consider a light neck gaiter to reduce spray on the river.
Know your limits on the quad
If you’re inexperienced with ATVs, request guidance from the operator and ride conservatively on rocky trails and tight turns.

Conservation Note
Köprülü Canyon is protected as a national park; stick to river safety rules, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing nesting birds and riparian vegetation.
The Köprüçay valley has been a corridor since ancient times, with Roman and Ottoman routes crossing the river; the canyon’s bridges and ruins mark old trade and pastoral networks.
