The Adventure Begins: From Hotel to Nature

Rafting: A River Adventure

We loved the rafting experience because it combines the thrill of navigating 14 kilometers of Köprüçay River rapids with moments of calm where you can relax and soak in the stunning canyon views. Some reviews mention that the length varies if you choose just rafting or combine it with other activities—expect slightly shorter trips if you’re doing everything.

The crystal-clear waters are refreshingly cold, so a swim break is a must. Several travelers, like Wim, praised the guide’s energy and the great atmosphere: “The guide Ali was very energetic and really created a great atmosphere. Super!”

Keep in mind, you will get wet, so waterproof clothes or water shoes are advisable. And if you’re worried about comfort, a towel and change of clothes are good ideas. One reviewer mentioned being thrown into the river—so brace yourself for a few surprises.

Ziplining Over the Canyon

Next on the list is the zipline, which offers an unforgettable view of the canyon from above. Flying across the river on a sturdy wire, you’ll get a panoramic perspective of the rugged landscape. The views are spectacular, and travelers often comment on how safe and well-managed the zipline is.

It’s a relaxing contrast to the river ride, with the opportunity to capture some incredible photos. For those with a sense of adventure, this is a highlight that combines thrill with scenic beauty.

Off-Road Adventures: Quad, Buggy & Jeep Safari

For the thrill-seekers, the quad biking and buggy safaris are standout features. Riding through muddy trails and rocky paths, you’ll explore the wild side of the mountain landscape. One reviewer noted, “You will get muddy and wet from the activities so wear old clothes and waterproof.”

The jeep safari adds a different flavor—driving through rugged terrain that’s often challenging, but rewarding with views and photo ops. The guide will expertly navigate the rocky and muddy mountain paths, making sure everyone stays safe while feeling the adrenaline.

Lunch & Rest

After a morning packed with activity, a buffet lunch awaits. The spread typically includes fresh salads, grilled chicken, flavorful rice, and other Turkish staples. It’s a satisfying break and a chance to chat with fellow travelers about their favorite parts of the day.
