The Experience

Before You Go

Water-ready footwear

Wear grippy, quick-dry shoes or sandals with straps to handle wet rafts and riverbanks safely.

Bring a dry bag

Protect your phone, sunscreen, and a small layer in a dry bag; operators provide helmets and PFDs but not waterproof storage.

Know your fitness limits

This combo runs eight hours and includes active river and off-road segments—be honest about stamina and any back issues.

Protect against sun and heat

Morning departures are cooler; carry sunscreen, a hat, and a refillable water bottle for the transfer and trail sections.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at the old Roman bridge over Köprüçay for photos and a quieter stretch of river away from main launch sites
  • Short hike to a nearby viewpoint above the canyon rim for a less-crowded panorama and birdwatching

Wildlife

  • river otter
  • golden eagle and other raptors

Conservation Note

The canyon lies within a protected area where operators follow seasonal limits to protect spawning fish and prevent bank erosion; visitors should avoid littering and keep to designated launch and take-out points.

The Köprüçay valley contains Roman and Ottoman-era crossing points; stone bridges and remnants of antiquity show the canyon’s long use as a route between the coast and Anatolian interior.
