And what about an exciting jeep safari tour among the lush forests in the countryside of Side? With Side Jeep Safari and Rafting Tour, you can enjoy both of these must-do activities in Side on the same day.
The Side-Manavgat region has fascinating natural beauties besides its well-known sea, beaches, and sun. Köprülü Canyon is maybe the most beautiful and popular place of these wonders. It is a unique area with rivers rushing loudly and dozens of shades of green. With Jeep Safari and Rafting Tour from Side, you will experience a 2-in-1 combo adventure package. After an off-road safari on the Side’s muddy, dirt, and asphalt roads, you will go rafting on the Köprüçay River. You will enjoy outstanding natural beauty spots around and breathe the fresh pine air of the Taurus Mountains all day long.
We will pick you up from your hotel with our 4×4 jeep and set off for an exciting jeep safari that will take about 3 hours. During this off-road safari in the countryside, you pass through forests, hamlets, orange orchards, and monuments from ancient times. The finish point of the jeep safari is our rafting facility by the river in the village of Taşağıl. Upon arrival at the centre, our instructors will inform you about the river and the tour. Then, they deliver the life jackets and helmets that you need to wear during rafting. To get used to cool water before rafting, everyone enters the river and follows each other in the cool river known as “body rafting”. Then, your exciting and fun rafting adventure starts.
The rafting route is approximately 14 km, and there is a lunch break at our restaurant in the middle of the track. The lunch menu consists of barbecued chicken, rice, salad, and bread. After this break, the adventure goes on. During the tour, there are breaks for swimming, jumping from the trees and planks by the river, or trekking. After your exciting rafting adventure, you will get in the jeeps again, and we will drop you off at your hotel by jeeps.
Köprüçay has a rapids grade 2+, whereas the most challenging rivers have 6+. This means that it is really easy to raft in Köprüçay. Each raft will have an instructor who will come to your aid whenever you need assistance throughout the activity. You can join this excursion with sneakers or any comfortable shoes that can be worn underwater except flip-flops. If you wish, you can buy rafting shoes or hire a wetsuit at our facility. On a rafting tour, you leave your belongings on the bus. Smokers can get their cigarettes during the breaks.
