Immersed in Nature at Köprülü Canyon

Your adventure begins with a short journey from Side to Köprülü Canyon National Park. This nature paradise is famous for its lush pine forests, deep valleys, and crystal-clear river. Throughout the tour, you will feel the grandeur of nature at every moment in the heart of this national park. As you move between the canyon’s high rock walls, the refreshing sound of flowing water and the chirping of birds will accompany you. The region also stands out for its historical remnants. At the start of the rafting route, the 2,000-year-old ancient Roman bridge (known as Oluk Bridge) showcases history alongside natural beauty. When it comes to rafting in Side, Köprülü Canyon is one of the first places that comes to mind. The day you spend in Köprülü Canyon will allow you to experience not only adrenaline but also the enchanting atmosphere of Mediterranean nature. The area’s wildlife is quite rich as well; you might occasionally see an eagle or vulture gliding overhead, or notice fish swimming in the calm parts of the river.

Canyoning: A Refreshing Expedition in Kartal Canyon

The first part of our tour, canyoning, begins in the morning and takes you into Kartal Canyon, one of the hidden treasures of the Köprülü Canyon area. Kartal (Eagle) Canyon offers a breathtaking route with its narrow, winding passages. As you follow our guides into the canyon, you’ll feel the coolness of the water and see sunlight filtering through the high cliffs. Along this route, you will sometimes wade through water up to your waist, sometimes jump over rocks, and slide down natural water slides shaped by the terrain. At certain points, there are short ascents and descents, which you will navigate with the help of our guides. This canyon trek lasts about 1 hour, during which you will work your body amidst postcard-worthy scenery while cooling off in the clear waters on a hot day. All necessary gear for canyoning (helmets, life jackets, and other safety equipment) is provided, and our guides will be by your side throughout the activity to ensure you progress safely. Even if you have no prior experience, this route is suitable for beginners and our instructors will assist you every step of the way.

Rafting: Whitewater Thrills on the Köprüçay River

After the canyoning adventure, it’s time for rafting on the world-famous Köprüçay River. Once we finish in the canyon, we head straight to the riverbank and board our rafts. Our guides will give a short safety briefing, explaining how to paddle and what to do during the raft trip. Then we’ll set off on a rafting route of around 8–14 km (depending on conditions). The Köprüçay River has rapids of moderate difficulty (Class II-III), making it ideal for both first-time rafters and experienced adventurers. By working together as a team, you’ll sometimes enjoy calm stretches of the river and the scenery, and at other times experience bursts of adrenaline on the swift rapids. Throughout the rafting, friendly water fights between the rafts and playful splashing with the icy water often lead to laughter and add to the fun. When we reach roughly the halfway point of the route, we’ll take a short break; during this break, you can swim in the river’s cool waters or relax on the bank. During the rafting journey, you will truly feel the team spirit as you and your 8–10 person crew paddle through the rapids together. An experienced rafting guide will be in each raft to direct you and ensure your safety. Rafting on Köprüçay is one of the most enjoyable ways to cool off under the Mediterranean sun; every moment in the chilly water is both refreshing and fun. When we reach the end of the rafting course, we bring our boats ashore, concluding this unforgettable run down the river.

Zipline: Flying High Above the River

During the break in rafting, you will get to experience a zipline ride from a specially prepared platform. This zipline is about 600 meters long, stretching from one side of the river to the other. After strapping into your safety harness and helmet under the supervision of the staff, you will step off and soar through the air for an exhilarating, gravity-defying moment. As you glide above the river, you’ll see the water rushing beneath your feet and take in the lush canyon scenery from a bird’s-eye perspective. Get ready for your heart to pound – the zipline might just be the biggest adrenaline rush of the tour. This swift flight lasts only a few minutes, but it will be etched in your memory as an experience you’ll want to repeat. Once you touch down on solid ground again, enjoy the sense of achievement and the thrill-fueled happiness. With all safety precautions in place, this activity is suitable for adventurers of all ages and offers a unique opportunity to see the area’s natural beauty from a new angle.

Buggy Safari: Off-Road Fun on the Trails

The final part of our tour brings us back to land after those high-flying moments, with a thrilling buggy safari. Taking the wheel of your two-seater, open-top buggy, you will drive along the dusty and rugged paths around Köprülü Canyon. You don’t need any special experience or a license to drive this off-road vehicle; after a simple briefing, anyone can handle it comfortably. As we move in a convoy led by our guide, you’ll feel the power of the buggy’s engine and the spray of dirt and mud as you traverse the bumpy trails. If the route includes small streams or puddles, splashing through them will make you as gleeful as a child! This off-road driving experience adds an extra dose of fun to our tour and offers a unique way to connect with nature. Because the vehicle is open, you will end up quite dusty – that’s why we recommended using sunglasses and a bandana. After approximately 20–30 minutes of driving, we will have completed the off-road portion of our adventure. By the end of the route, even if you’re covered in dust from head to toe, you’ll have a huge smile on your face! You might even want to snap some photos of yourself and your friends in this state to immortalize the fun.

After all these exciting activities, we’ll take a well-deserved break for a delicious lunch to rest and recharge. At our riverside restaurant, we’ll refuel with a meal that typically includes grilled chicken, rice, salad, and bread – a menu to suit everyone’s taste. During lunch, you can shake off the pleasant fatigue from the morning’s adventures and share the most thrilling moments with your teammates. Following lunch, we return to our base. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to watch the photos and videos taken throughout the tour; if you wish, you can purchase these mementos at a reasonable price. Finally, we hop back into our vehicle and head towards Side, dropping you off at your hotel. After about a 30–40 minute drive, our adventure-filled day comes to an end.

By the end of this four-in-one adventure day in Side, both your body and spirit will be recharged. Having experienced so much in one day, you will leave with a sense of accomplishment, and this tour will be among the most unforgettable memories of your vacation.
