Köprülü Canyon Mix Tour: Canyoning, Zipline & Rafting from Antalya
A single-day, full-throttle combo in Köprülü Canyon: wet canyoning through narrow river passages, ziplining across the gorge, then whitewater rafting on the Manavgat. Expect nine active hours, professional guides, and a river that keeps you honest.
The Experience
Before You Go
Expect to get wet
Bring a large towel, a full change of clothes and a dry bag for electronics; wet canyoning and rafting mean you’ll be soaked.
Footwear matters
Wear closed-toe water or trail shoes with good grip — flip-flops are not adequate for scrambling or rafting.
Protect from sun
Even in the canyon you’ll have exposed sections; apply reef-safe sunscreen and bring a hat for transfers and lunch.
Tell guides about health issues
Disclose any spinal, heart or pregnancy-related conditions before booking; staff will advise if the tour is suitable.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Riverside barbecue spots near the lunch area where locals grill fresh fish and kebabs
- •Short walk-ups above the canyon rim to viewpoint ledges for quieter panoramas and sunrise shots
Wildlife
- •European otter (occasionally seen along the river)
- •Bonelli’s eagle and other raptors hunting the canyon thermals
Conservation Note
The national park protects riparian forests and freshwater habitats; stay on marked paths, avoid littering, and use reef-safe sunscreen to limit chemical runoff.
Köprülü Canyon sits near ancient trade routes and Roman-era settlements; scattered ruins and old stone bridges reflect centuries of human movement along the river corridor.
