Koprulu Canyon Rafting, Canyoning & Zipline Adventure from Belek
A full-day from Belek, this trip pairs Class II–III rafting with short canyoning sections and a high zipline across Koprulu Canyon. It’s a pragmatic, adrenaline-driven way to see rugged limestone cliffs, a Roman bridge and the Köprüçay River in one outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Footwear that stays put
Wear sturdy water shoes or old trail runners with good grip—slippers and flip-flops are unsafe on wet rocks and in the raft.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phone, ID and cash in a compact waterproof bag; most operators have limited secure storage.
Hydrate before and after
Long transfers and sun on the river can dehydrate you—drink extra water before the trip and top up at lunch.
Timing matters
Pickup windows vary; confirm local pickup point to avoid long waits and to make the most of daylight on the river.

Conservation Note
Köprülü Canyon is protected within a national park; stay on designated paths, avoid single-use plastics, and follow guide instructions to reduce erosion and disturbance.
The Köprüçay corridor carried routes through ancient Pamphylia and Roman engineers built stone bridges and small road works along the river that survive in places today.
