Koprulu Canyon: Full-Day Rafting, Canyoning & Cliff Zipline from Kemer
Spend a full day rafting through Koprulu Canyon with canyoning segments and a cliff zipline—swim in turquoise pools, spot a 2,000-year-old Roman bridge, and enjoy an active, guide-led adventure from Kemer. Practical logistics and safety gear are included for a balanced adrenaline experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water shoes
Rough riverbed and canyon scrambling make closed-toe water shoes or neoprene booties much safer and more comfortable than sandals.
Protect against sun
Sunscreen, a hat, and a short-sleeve quick-dry top help during transfer time and on calmer river stretches when the sun is strong.
Secure small items
Use a waterproof pouch or leave valuables at the hotel—phones and wallets can easily get wet during rafting and canyoning.
Know the age and health limits
Minimum age is typically 13 and participants should be free from serious heart conditions; disclose medical issues during booking.
