Koprulu Canyon Triple Threat: Rafting, Zipline & Buggy Adventure from Antalya
A full-day triple mix of river, air and dirt—raft class I–III rapids through Köprülü Canyon, fly short ziplines over pine canopies, then tackle an off-road buggy loop. Expect an 8–10 hour, guide-led day with hotel pickup from Antalya.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Choose shoes with grip that can get wet—slick soles and flip-flops make river exits and buggy controls hazardous.
Bring a small dry bag
Protect your phone, wallet and a spare layer in a 5–10L dry bag; many operators allow small waterproof cases.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Sunscreen, a brimmed hat for before/after water sections and a refillable water bottle will keep energy up through the day.
Listen to the safety briefing
Guides give specific paddle, zipline and buggy instructions—following them reduces risk and improves your experience.
