Full-Day Rafting & Jeep Safari Mix Tour from Antalya / Kemer
Imagine spending a day in the wilds of Turkey, feeling your heart race as you conquer whitewater rapids and then exploring rugged canyon landscapes from a sturdy Jeep. For just about $53 per person, this full-day adventure combines two of the region’s most exciting outdoor activities: whitewater rafting on the Koprulu River and an off-road Jeep safari through Köprülü Canyon. With hotel pickup included, you can leave the logistics to someone else and jump straight into the fun.
What we love about this tour is its perfect balance of adrenaline and scenic beauty. The rafting trip offers a thrilling ride through the canyon’s roaring rapids, providing a splash of excitement and a chance to cool off. The Jeep safari takes you to breathtaking viewpoints that are otherwise inaccessible, giving you a peek into the rugged Turkish wilderness. It’s a fantastic way to see nature’s raw beauty in a short but packed day.
One potential downside? The tour runs rain or shine, so if weather isn’t cooperative, your plans might get a bit soggy or delayed. Also, this experience isn’t suitable for pregnant women or those with mobility issues, which is typical for adventure activities. That said, if you’re looking for an active day that combines nature, thrill, and cultural beauty, this tour hits the spot.
This experience suits travelers who love outdoor adventures, picturesque landscapes, and a taste of authentic Turkish wilderness. It’s especially good for those wanting more than just sightseeing — those who want to get their hands dirty and their adrenaline flowing.

Exploring the Experience: What to Expect and Why It Matters
When you book this tour, you’re signing up for a carefully curated combination of adventures that showcase the best of Turkey’s outdoor scenery. From the moment you’re picked up at your hotel in Antalya or Kemer, the journey to Köprülü Canyon is a scenic drive revealing the rugged landscapes of the region.
The Jeep safari kicks off your day. Our guide, who was friendly and informative, took us on an off-road route that covered several scenic viewpoints. We loved how the Jeep’s toughness let us reach remote spots with panoramic vistas of the canyon and Koprucay River — perfect for snapping Instagram-worthy pictures. The views of towering cliffs, lush greenery, and unusual rock formations made us feel like we were in a different world. The stops are brief but well-spaced and well-suited for quick photo sessions.
Once the Jeep tour concludes, it’s time for the whitewater rafting. The guide gave us a thorough safety briefing, emphasizing how to paddle and stay safe in the turbulent rapids. We appreciated the professional instruction, which made even nervous first-timers feel more confident. As we paddled down the Koprucay River, the landscape unfurled around us: lush trees hugging the canyon walls, fascinating rock formations, and the roar of water beneath us.
The rapids are exciting but manageable, with enough thrill to keep your heart pounding without feeling dangerous. When the river calms, there’s an opportunity to swim and relax, which is a welcome break from the adrenaline. The water was refreshing, and the scenery so stunning that floating on the calm sections felt almost meditative.
The tour concludes with a buffet lunch that offers tasty, filling options—an important perk after a morning of exertion. Afterwards, the coach returns you to your hotel, wrapping up a well-paced day that leaves you exhausted but exhilarated.
