The Experience

Before You Go

Bring quick‑dry layers

Wet and dry sections alternate—choose clothes that dry quickly and a light wind layer for post‑raft chills.

Secure footwear

Wear water shoes or sandals with straps to handle slippery riverbanks and muddy buggy launches.

Protect against sun

Sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and sunglasses are crucial on exposed buggy trails and while rafting.

Keep valuables dry

Use a small dry bag or ziplock for phone, ID, and cash—boats and buggies can jostle items free.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a riverside lunch spot for quiet pools ideal for a cool swim

Wildlife

Conservation Note

Köprülü Canyon is a protected national park—stay on marked routes, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing nesting raptors and shoreline vegetation.
