The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a secure waterproof case

Phone pockets and dry bags prevent soaked electronics during rapids and crossings.

Wear closed-toe water shoes

Grip and toe protection matter during wet launches and rocky quad stops.

Protect against sun exposure

Apply high‑SPF sunscreen and bring a hat for the transfers and lunch stop.

Listen to the briefings

Guides give specific commands for rapids and ATV handling—follow them to stay safe.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small pebble beaches along the lower canyon ideal for a quiet swim
  • A viewpoint off the quad route that overlooks a tight river meander—great for photos at golden hour

Wildlife

  • Audible kingfishers along the riverbank
  • Occasional wild boar tracks and lizards on sun‑warmed rocks

Conservation Note

The river corridor is sensitive—stick to established paths, avoid single‑use plastics, and leave riverbanks free of waste to protect aquatic life.

Köprülü Canyon has long been a corridor between inland Anatolia and the coast; Roman and Ottoman routes passed nearby and river valleys supported seasonal shepherding.
