The Experience

Before You Go

Confirm pickup window

Pickup times vary by hotel zone—confirm your exact pickup window after booking to avoid long waits; transfers can be ~2 hours each way.

Secure electronics

Bring a small dry bag or waterproof phone case—pockets on buggies and raft decks can’t guarantee dry valuables.

Footwear matters

Wear closed‑toe shoes with good grip that can get wet; reef shoes or river sandals with straps work well for both rafting and buggy dismounts.

Hydration & sun protection

Bring a refillable water bottle and reef‑safe sunscreen; shaded breaks exist but midday sun can be intense in summer.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • The small Roman bridge near Köprülü offers a quieter photo stop away from main picnic areas.
  • Early‑morning or late‑afternoon viewpoints above Beşkonak give clear canyon vistas with better light and fewer people.

Wildlife

  • Bonelli’s eagle or other raptors overhead
  • Occasional sightings of wild boar or fox tracks along quieter trails

Conservation Note

Operators encourage minimal‑impact practices—avoid littering and keep to group briefings to reduce disturbance; river ecosystems benefit from limited single‑use plastics.

Köprülü Canyon sits on routes used since Roman times; stone bridges and ruins near the river mark historical crossings and trade corridors.
