Koprulu Canyon Rafting, Jeep, Buggy & Zipline Day Trip from Antalya
A full-day adventure from Antalya combining a 14 km raft down Köprüçay River with jeep and buggy transfers plus an optional zipline and cliff jumps. Fast rapids, riverside food and ancient ruins above the canyon make this a varied, high-energy day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure foot protection
Use water shoes or sandals with straps — riverbeds and raft landings are rocky and slippery.
Bring a dry bag
Protect phone, wallet and a light layer from splashes during rapids and when swimming.
Eat a good breakfast
It’s an eight-hour day with moderate exertion; a solid meal fuels paddling and cliff jumps.
Disclose health conditions
Notify guides of any heart, pregnancy, or mobility concerns — certain participants are not recommended for this trip.

Conservation Note
The Köprüçay is ecologically sensitive—avoid littering, use reef-safe sunscreen near the water, and follow guides’ instructions to reduce bank erosion and disturbance.
Koprulu Canyon National Park protects a river corridor used since antiquity; Roman-era bridges and nearby Selge reflect the region’s long human history.
