A morning bus carries you off the Mediterranean coast into a canyon that feels alive — cliffs lean in, the Koprucay River dares you to follow its turn, and engines hum as buggies wait on river terraces. This full-day combo stitches two contrasting ways to move through the same wild place: a roughly 14 km raft run through class II–III rapids and a 20 km off-road buggy loop across dusty tracks and pine-scarred slopes.

A morning bus carries you off the Mediterranean coast into a canyon that feels alive — cliffs lean in, the Koprucay River dares you to follow its turn, and engines hum as buggies wait on river terraces. This full-day combo stitches two contrasting ways to move through the same wild place: a roughly 14 km raft run through class II–III rapids and a 20 km off-road buggy loop across dusty tracks and pine-scarred slopes.
Köprülü Canyon National Park was carved by the Koprucay over millennia; limestone cliffs and river terraces reveal folded layers and occasional Roman masonry where old trade routes crossed. The region blends Anatolian rural life with modern adventure tourism — small villages supply guides, and lunch often comes with local salads and flatbread.
Expect alternating sensations: the river’s current pushing and nudging you downstream, then the buggy’s suspension absorbing sudden climbs and tighter switchbacks. Wildlife is discrete — kingfishers flash along eddies and lizards dart between rocks. Guides provide helmets, lifejackets and local safety briefings; insurance is typically included.
Practical angle: this is a long, guided day with hotel pick-up from Side or nearby Antalya resorts, so plan for sunscreen, quick-change clothes, and a towel. Bring a small waterproof bag for essentials, secure footwear with grip, and leave expensive loose items behind. Timing matters — mornings are cooler on the river, afternoons good for photos at canyon viewpoints. The combo is social, accessible to most people with basic mobility, and delivers both the river’s insistence and the hillside’s rough joy in one compact day.
Yes — pickups from Side and nearby Antalya hotels are typically included; confirm the pickup point and time when you book.
No prior rafting experience is required; the 14 km run is guided and suitable for beginners with class II–III rapids.
Lunch and insurance are included, but drinks and professional photos/videos are usually extra and available to purchase after the tour.
This activity is not recommended for pregnant travelers due to river rapids and off-road conditions.
