A Detailed Look at the Experience

The day begins with a prompt hotel pickup from your accommodation in Antalya, where an air-conditioned vehicle whisks you away to the adventure hub at Köprülü Canyon National Park. The drive takes about 15 minutes over 7 km, giving travelers ample time to soak in the scenery and get excited for what’s ahead. Our reviewers note the smooth, comfortable transportation as a major plus, especially since logistics are handled for you.

The Safety Briefing and Equipment Setup

Once at the canyon, professional instructors like Ahmet and Mehmet greet everyone with a thorough safety briefing. This is key, especially for those unfamiliar with rafting or canyoning. The staff are praised for their clear instructions and friendly approach, which helps calm any nerves and sets a tone of confidence. Equipment such as life jackets, helmets, paddles, and harnesses are distributed, and the guides ensure everyone is comfortable before starting.

Rafting: An Adrenaline Packed 14 km Ride

The rafting segment lasts around 2 hours, covering roughly 14 kilometers of the river. The river’s temperature, notably cold, adds an extra refreshing element, especially on warmer days. We loved the way the guides explained the river’s characteristics and tailored the pace for the group’s skill levels — making it accessible for beginners but still exciting for seasoned paddlers.

A reviewer highlights the professionalism of the water guides, who made the experience both safe and enjoyable: “It was fun, nice, and the water guide was experienced.” The floating amidst the scenic beauty of the canyon, with the sound of rushing water and views of rocky cliffs, made for memorable moments.

Canyoning: Jump, Climb, and Swim in the Canyon

Canyoning offers a mix of jumping into the water, climbing over rocks, and swimming through narrow rock formations. Interestingly, one traveler mentioned the canyoning as being limited to just one place, but still described the setting as very beautiful. Expect to get wet and be physically active — this isn’t a passive experience. It’s a great way to appreciate the rugged terrain up close, with guides providing assistance and ensuring safety at each obstacle.

Lunch by the River – A Delicious Break

After the physical exertion, a well-deserved late lunch awaits at a riverside restaurant. The meal is described as tasty and satisfying, offering a break to refuel before the next activity. It’s also a nice chance to chat and take in the views of the flowing river and lush greenery.

Ziplining Over the Canyon: Soaring with a View

The zipline activity is the grand finale, offering breathtaking vistas of the canyon from above. Flying across the canyon on a secure cable line, you’ll get a panoramic view of the landscape — a highlight for many. Reviewers have praised the professionalism of the guides, with one mentioning that the zipline over the canyon was “very nice,” and the experience added a real “wow” factor to the day. It’s a safe and exhilarating way to end the adventure, with guides providing all necessary safety gear and instructions.

The Sum Up of the Day and Return to Antalya

With the activities completed, your guides drive you back to your hotel in Antalya, usually arriving around late afternoon. The day wraps up smoothly, leaving enough time to relax or explore more of Alanya or Antalya.

The Value of the Experience

At just $56.75 per person, this tour offers impressive value considering the inclusions — all transportation, safety equipment, lunch, and expert guides are covered.

The group size cap of 45 ensures a more personal, less rushed experience, and the professional guides help make safety a priority without sacrificing fun.

While the activities are suited for those with moderate physical fitness, it’s worth noting that some reviewers found the canyoning limited to a single spot, but still very enjoyable. The opportunity to swim, jump, and climb provides a real hands-on adventure in the heart of Turkey’s stunning landscape.
