Köprülü Canyon Rafting & Tazı Canyon Jeep Combo from Antalya
Spend a full day on the Köprüçay: 13 km of class II–III rafting, swimming and optional jumps, plus a 45‑minute jeep ride to Tazı Canyon. This combo tour pairs river adrenaline with rugged canyon scenery and practical hotel transfers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring river‑specific footwear
Closed toe water shoes or sturdy sandals with straps prevent losing footwear during rapids and make walking on rocky shorelines easier.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect river ecology and reduce the need to reapply on the water.
Keep a small dry bag
Store phone, ID and small valuables in a dry bag or waterproof phone case — the raft will take on spray during rapids.
Arrive with a light breakfast
You’ll be active for several hours; eat a light, carb‑forward meal before pickup to avoid fatigue mid‑trip.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Old stone bridges and Roman masonry along the canyon approach — short walks off the main launch point reveal quiet viewpoints.

Conservation Note
The canyon sits inside a protected national park; follow leave‑no‑trace rules, avoid polluting the river and use reef‑safe sunscreen to limit chemical impact.
Köprülü Canyon has Roman and Ottoman-era stonework visible near crossing points; the river route has linked coast and interior for centuries.
