Köprülü Canyon Rafting, Canyoning & Zipline Day Trip from Antalya
Spend a full day rafting 14 km of Köprüçay, canyoning a 2 km approach and flying a zipline over the gorge. This guided trip from Antalya combines river rush, short canyon hiking and an aerial moment with all safety gear and lunch included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a dry bag
Waterproof your phone, keys and a light jacket—boats and canyon sections are wet by design.
Wear secure footwear
Closed-toe water shoes or strapped sandals prevent foot injuries during the 2 km canyon walk and river exits.
Hydrate early
Start the morning well-hydrated—the day runs about 10 hours and the sun can be strong between pick-up and return.
Listen to the guide
Follow raft commands and canyon safety briefings to avoid common mishaps on exits and while crossing rapids.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Selge ruins above the canyon — a short detour for panoramic views and Roman-era ruins.
- •Riverside picnic spots downstream where locals fish and the river widens into calmer pools.
Wildlife
- •Common raptors (eagles, buzzards) that ride canyon thermals
- •Mediterranean tortoises and small mammals along the riverbanks
Conservation Note
Köprülü Canyon is a protected national park—follow park rules, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing riverbanks to protect riparian habitats and water quality.
The Köprüçay corridor has linked inland Pisidian settlements to the Mediterranean since antiquity; nearby Selge overlooks the canyon and bears Roman and Hellenistic remains.
