Koprulu Canyon Rafting, Zipline & Buggy Safari — Antalya Adventure Day
Combine two hours of river rafting with a zipline glimpse across limestone walls and a short buggy run—this Antalya day tour delivers varied adrenaline and canyon scenery with hotel transfers and lunch included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear quick‑dry layers
You’ll be wet during the rafting section—synthetic tops and shorts or a swimsuit under a wetsuit (if provided) are ideal.
Secure personal electronics
Use a dry bag or leave phones on the transfer; action cameras should be helmet- or chest-mounted with a tether.
Footwear for both river and buggy
Closed-toe shoes with good tread work for buggy terrain and riverbanks—strap-on water shoes are a good compromise.
Listen to the guide
Paddle commands and safety briefings are brief but essential—following instructions keeps the group safe and the run smooth.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Stop at a riverside tea house near the canyon entrance for local simit and strong tea.
- •Short walk to a Roman bridge upstream—less visited and great for photos away from the main launch site.
Wildlife
- •Kingfishers that hunt along quieter pools
- •Mountain goats and chamois on higher canyon rims (spotting more likely from trails)
Conservation Note
Guides typically emphasize staying on trails, packing out trash, and avoiding disturbing riverbanks to protect aquatic life and the canyon’s fragile vegetation.
The canyon area has been used since antiquity as a transit corridor; Roman bridges and nearby ruins point to continuous human interaction with the river.
