Köprülü Canyon Rafting and ATV Combo: Full-Day Adventure from Antalya
Combine whitewater rafting on the Koprucay River with an ATV safari through the Taurus foothills in one full day from Antalya. Expect class II–III rapids, limestone canyon scenery, and a dusty quad loop with panoramic overlooks.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the day
You’ll be active for roughly 8 hours including transfers; drink water before boarding and carry a small bottle in a secure pack.
Wear secure water shoes
Closed-toe, grippy shoes protect feet during rafting and are better for mounting ATVs afterward.
Protect electronics
Use a small dry bag or waterproof phone case for river sections; ATV dust will also affect cameras.
Confirm pickup point and time
Operator pick-up is included—double-check the meeting location and any shuttle windows the day before.

The canyon is a protected national park; stay on established trails, avoid single-use plastics, and follow guide instructions to minimize river and habitat disturbance.
Köprülü Canyon cuts through limestone used since Roman times for roads and bridges; several nearby ruins and ancient bridges point to long-distance trade routes through the Taurus foothills.
