Here is a 3-in-1 tour that brings together all the exciting activities you want to try in the heart of nature. Side Rafting Canyoning and Zipline offers you the opportunity to hike in the green nature of the canyon, rafting in the Köprüçay River, and have a blasting ziplining experience.
Side, one of the most popular holiday destinations on Turkey’s Mediterranean coastline, has a lot to offer to holidaymakers. Köprülü Canyon Natural Park is in the Side region, with its fast-flowing rivers and forests containing many shades of green. Get ready to participate in three exciting activities in this corner of paradise. With Side Rafting Canyoning and Zipline adventure, you will go hiking in the green nature of Side. After a refreshing rafting activity on the mighty waters of the Köprüçay River, you will experience an exciting yet fun ziplining over the river.
The tour begins in the morning when an air-conditioned bus picks you up around 09.00 from your hotel security gate. The voyage to the rafting centre at Köprülü Canyon National Park takes around one hour.
After arrival at the rafting centre, you will start your canyon hiking in the national park. This activity takes around one hour. Walking along the beautiful trail, you’ll notice the stunning natural environment. The dusty and rocky road adds to the experience and makes you feel closer to the natural world. The landscapes are picture-perfect and an excellent backdrop for some amazing snaps. There will be friendly staff accompanying you throughout hiking. At the end of the hiking path, you will arrive at one of the coolest places in the park—a natural pool with ice-cold waters. You can get into the waters of this pool there if you are brave enough. The water here is icy. Then, you will be on the way back to the centre for your rafting adventure.
At the rafting centre, you will meet the instructors who will guide you through the basics of rafting. They will hand you the safety equipment and inform you about the adventure ahead. Once you are ready, your raft goes into the river, and you begin the most thrilling rafting session. The natural beauty around the river makes the experience even more phenomenal. In the raft, expect to feel the cool water splashing on you as you move forward with the currents. You can play Splash Wars with other boats or race them to make this experience more fun and exciting. After about 30 minutes of rafting, there will be a stop for rest by the river. While the other people swim or sunbathe here, the instructors will take you to the zipline station nearby.
Another activity of this 3-in-1 combo tour is the adrenaline-boosting iron rope zipline. What can be more impressive than crossing the beautiful river hanging from a Zipline? The trained staff will give you all the necessary instructions and equipment beforehand. Then, you cross the river while hanging from the zip line and enjoy the stunning views from above. Cross from one side to the other, and feel your enthusiasm growing with an activity maximising your experiences.
After ziplining, you will get on your raft again. After a short rafting, you will arrive at our riverside restaurant. You will have your lunch with BBQ chicken, rice, salad, and bread here. After a one-hour-long lunch break, another session of 20 minutes of rafting will start, and you will arrive at the finish point. You’ll look over the pictures of the tour and watch the video clip of the tour here. You can purchase these visuals at a reasonable price if you’d like.
Finally, around 16.00, your driver will pick you up from the centre and drop you off at your hotel in Side marking the end of this exciting and fun excursion.
