What's included in the tour?

A Jeep safari through the Taurus Mountains and white-water rafting in Köprülü Canyon National Park, typically with hotel transfers, guide, safety equipment (life jacket for rafting), and refreshments. Confirm exact inclusions at booking.

Do I need rafting or Jeep experience?

No prior experience required. Life jackets are provided for rafting, and the Jeep safari is guided. However, moderate fitness and comfort with uneven terrain are essential.

Is this safe for children?

Age and height restrictions typically apply, especially for rafting. Check with the operator for minimum requirements; younger or lighter children may not be suitable for certain sections.

What if the weather is bad?

Rafting operates in most conditions, but may be cancelled during severe storms or high water levels for safety. Jeep safaris proceed in light rain. Confirm cancellation policy before booking.

How long is the rafting section?

Typically 2–3 hours of active paddling in Köprülü Canyon, depending on water levels and route difficulty. The remaining time covers transfers, the Jeep safari, and rest breaks.

Quick-dry clothing, water shoes or sandals with ankle support, and a light layerable jacket for the mountains. Avoid cotton; bring a towel and change of clothes. All safety gear is provided.

our instructor Pablo sorted everything for us and a heron lifting off right beside the kayak was the highlight, and blew our Bangkok one out of the water.

our instructor Pablo was nice enough, but a heron lifting off right beside the kayak felt a bit rushed honestly ... Used it for our summer trip. Booked it for my birthday. Bit disappointed ngl, would only really suit you if youre not fussy, paddled maybe 8km.

our instructor Samir sorted everything for us and a glassy inlet with nobody else around was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. For our anniversary, and first thing in the morning. Would book again no question.
