Experience the Thrill of Quad Biking in Side
The adventure kicks off with an off-road quad safari through the stunning landscapes surrounding Side. After a convenient pickup from your hotel, you'll head to the quad safari base near the Taurus Mountains. Here, professional instructors provide a safety briefing and a quick driving lesson to ensure even first-timers feel confident behind the handlebars of an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle). Once you rev up the engine and set out, get ready to embrace a muddy, dusty, and exhilarating trail! You’ll drive along winding paths that cut through pine forests, splash through shallow streams, and traverse rocky terrain at the foothills of the mountains. The feeling of freedom and adrenaline as you maneuver your quad bike over rough ground is simply unmatched.
During the Side quad safari, there will be stops at scenic points so you can pause to take in the panoramic views – don’t forget to snap a few photos of the beautiful Turkish countryside and your dusty, smiling face. The route typically covers around 20 kilometers of diverse terrain, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the ride. Whether you’re an experienced rider or a complete beginner, the thrill of this ATV adventure will leave you grinning from ear to ear. And with guides leading the way, you can ride at a pace that's comfortable yet exciting, all while staying safe. By the end of the quad safari, you’ll have experienced one of the best ways to explore Side’s natural surroundings, and your appetite for adventure will be fully whetted for the next part of the day. After you finish the ATV ride, you’ll take a well-deserved break for lunch to refuel and relax.
Rafting Adventure at Köprülü Canyon
With your energy restored by a delicious lunch by the river, it’s time to cool off and dive into the second half of this 2-in-1 experience: river rafting. A short drive brings you deeper into the heart of Köprülü Canyon National Park, home to the famous Köprüçay River. This canyon, with its towering cliffs and lush greenery, is the premier spot for rafting in Side – a must-do for adventure seekers visiting the region. Upon arriving at the rafting start point, you'll trade your quad bike helmet for a rafting helmet and life jacket. Experienced rafting guides will give an essential safety briefing and paddling instructions. Don’t worry if you’ve never been rafting before; the guides are experts at making sure everyone knows what to do and stays safe while having fun.
Once you board the sturdy inflatable raft and push off into the river, get ready for an aquatic thrill ride! The Köprüçay River flows through dramatic canyon scenery and offers rapids that are exciting but beginner-friendly. You and your fellow rafters will paddle through splashing waves and gentle rapids that send refreshing sprays of water over the boat. Laughter, shouts of excitement, and the rush of the river will echo between the canyon walls. Along the way, the group will pause at calm pools where you can jump in for a swim or simply float on your back, gazing up at the blue sky and cliffs. These breaks are also a great time to catch your breath and enjoy the pristine nature around you. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, some tours offer an optional zipline over the river during one of the breaks – an exhilarating bonus activity for the brave at heart.
Köprülü Canyon itself is a breathtaking highlight of the day. The national park gets its name from the ancient stone bridge (“köprü” in Turkish) that arches high above the river – a relic from Roman times that still stands majestically. As you raft downstream, you’ll witness the rich flora along the riverbanks, from oleander bushes to pine and cypress trees clinging to the canyon slopes. The water of the river is refreshingly cool and crystal clear, providing a welcome relief from the Mediterranean heat. For nature enthusiasts, simply being in this canyon is a treat in its own right. The blend of thrill and natural beauty makes the rafting experience truly special.
The entire rafting route usually spans several kilometers downstream (often divided into two or three sections of rapids), taking approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete. As you navigate the last stretch of white water, you’ll feel a sense of achievement and camaraderie with your raft mates. Rafting in Köprülü Canyon is not just an adventure; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in one of Turkey’s most beautiful natural settings. The combination of adrenaline and the stunning backdrop of pine forests and steep canyon walls makes this Side rafting tour an unforgettable experience in itself. By the time you reach the finish point on the riverbank, you’ll be soaked and exhilarated, with memories of an epic ride.
