Koprulu Canyon Rafting, Canyoning & Zipline Adventure from Antalya
Spend a day on the Köprüçay river: raft class II–III rapids, ride a cliff-side zipline and swim beneath limestone walls. This full-day Antalya departure pairs safety briefing and guides with included lunch and hotel transfers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water shoes
Riverbed rocks and straps make water shoes more comfortable and safer than sandals; rentals are sometimes available on-site.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Start with a good drink at pickup and sip regularly—combining exertion and sun can be deceptively draining.
Arrive ready for a 6‑hour day
Pickup windows are early; plan to be at the meeting point on time to avoid missing transfers and safety briefings.
Listen to guides for canyoning choices
Canyoning is optional and may include short rappels and swims—follow instructions and ask about alternative routes if unsure.

Conservation Note
Koprülu Canyon is managed to protect riparian habitats and erosion; stay on designated paths, pack out waste and avoid disturbing nesting birds.
The Köprüçay has shaped human routes for centuries—Roman masonry and old caravan tracks sit just above the river’s course, evidence of long-term local use.
