The morning light hits the pines above the Köprüçay and the canyon exhales a cool, river-scented breeze as minibuses collect you in Side.
After an hour of coastal road and farming terraces, the landscape tightens: limestone cliffs sharpen, the Köprüçay River threads through a narrow gorge, and the day splits between spray and dust — a 12 km raft section that pushes water up against your pulse and a cross-country Monster UTV route that climbs rocky ridgelines.
Köprülü Canyon carved itself through Miocene limestone and hosts fragments of Roman-era engineering; local villages still farm terraces and serve simple, hearty lunches of grilled meats and salad. The national park protects riparian forest and cliff-nesting raptors, and the river has been used for transport and irrigation since antiquity.
Practically, expect two large activity blocks: roughly 90 minutes of guided rafting in life jackets and helmets on intermediate-flow water suitable for beginners, and about 90 minutes of UTV driving over hills and rocky tracks (drivers must hold a license). Transfers add about two hours round-trip; lunch, guiding, and equipment are included.
Plan for sturdy, closed-toe shoes you can get wet, sun protection, and a small dry bag for essentials. Bring a driver’s license if you intend to drive, and check weight and age limits in advance — children from six can join. The route suits travelers looking for a mixed-adrenaline day: part river-play, part rough-track exploration, with a straightforward logistics footprint and big, physical scenery.
Yes — you must present a valid driver’s license if you plan to operate a UTV; passengers do not need a license.
Children aged 6 and older can participate in rafting when accompanied by an adult; age and seating rules for UTVs vary by operator—confirm at booking.
The trip is accessible for most fitness levels but requires mobility to get in and out of rafts and UTVs and to manage uneven terrain during stops.
Operators may cancel for safety in heavy rain or high river flows; full refunds are usually available if canceled at least 24 hours in advance.
