Koprulu Canyon, one of Turkey’s most famous landmarks, is a national park near the small town of Beskonak in Manavgat. Koprucay, in this national park, is one of Turkey’s most popular rivers for rafting.

The Koprucay is one of Turkey’s most suitable rivers for rafting, with a rapids grade of over 2, whereas the most challenging rivers have over 6. No matter your age, anyone with a basic knowledge of swimming can join this activity.
We collect you from the security gates of your hotels with our comfortable air-conditioned vehicles and drive to the rafting centre at Koprulu Canyon. The journey takes about one hour. When you arrive at our centre, you will get the safety equipment (helmets and life jackets) you must wear during the tour. After that, our instructors give detailed information about the adventure ahead.
The instructors group everyone based on their languages, and one of our instructors is assigned to each raft. Before the tour, everyone gets into the river and follows each other to get used to the cool water. This is called body rafting, and it prepares you for the incredible adventure ahead. After that, everybody starts to row the rafts. You will get rid of your fears after a short time and enjoy this thrilling experience with your teammates. Everyone fights with the might of Köprüçay together and feels the spirit of team sports.

The estimated length of the rafting track is about 14 km. After about 40 minutes of rafting, there is a 20 minutes-long break by the river. You can sunbathe, relax, swim, or join fun activities like jumping into the river from diving boards or tall trees by the river during this break. Then, we go on rafting and arrive at our restaurant in the middle of the track, where you have your tasty lunch.
The lunch menu includes BBQ chicken, rice, pasta, and salad. The adventure continues after lunch. After about 20 minutes of rafting, you arrive at the finish point.
