Köprülü Canyon 4-in-1 Adventure: Rafting, Buggy, Jeep & Zipline from Antalya
Spend a full day trading Antalya’s coast for the wild pulse of Köprülü Canyon: raft turbulent rapids, roar along forest trails by buggy or jeep, and fly above the gorge on a zipline. This guided combo packs geology, adrenaline and scenic valley views into one practical outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive ready to get wet
Wear quick-dry clothing and secure water shoes—you’ll be in and out of the raft and cold river current can catch you off guard.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof phone case or dry bag; photos are tempting but electronics don’t do well in rapids.
Tell guides about injuries
If you have back or neck issues, notify staff—some elements like buggy rides and rafting are not recommended for spinal problems.
Hydrate and pace
Bring a refillable water bottle and sip regularly—the day is long and elevation changes can dehydrate you quickly.

Conservation Note
The canyon is protected as a national park; visitors are asked to avoid littering, keep to trails near the gorge, and use biodegradable sunscreen to limit impact on river ecosystems.
The Köprüçay valley has been a travel corridor for centuries; Roman and Ottoman-era bridges and ruins along the river reflect the area’s historical role in regional trade and travel.
