💡 What to Bring on Your Rafting Tour

- Footwear: Because the riverbed is stony and there is a current, water shoes that cover the foot or old lace-up sports shoes are essential. (Flip-flops are lost in the river instantly and cannot be used.)
- Spare Items: Bring dry spare clothes, underwear and a beach towel to wear on the way back to the hotel at the end of the tour.
- Protection & Cash: A hat, sunscreen, a waterproof phone case and some cash for drinks and photo expenses.

📲 Quick Contact on WhatsApp❓ Antalya Rafting Tour: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can non-swimmers or children join the rafting tour?
Yes! The Köprülü Canyon course is grade 1–2 and has no risk of capsizing. Because participants are given life jackets with high buoyancy and every boat is led by a licensed guide, non-swimmers can also take part with complete confidence. The minimum age limit for children is 5.
How long does it take from Antalya centre to Köprülü Canyon?
The distance between Antalya centre and Köprülü Canyon National Park is about 85 km. Travel in our comfortable air-conditioned tour vehicles takes an average of 1.5 hours, depending on traffic and your area.
What is the temperature of the river water, is it very cold?
Because the Köprüçay is fed by underground springs of the Taurus Mountains, its water is around 12–14 degrees even in summer. However, when you enter the water in Antalya's summer heat of over 40 degrees, this coldness does not chill you; on the contrary, it gives a wonderful feeling of refreshment.
Where can we leave our valuables during the tour?
Because there is a risk of wallets, watches or expensive phones getting wet or falling in the river, you can keep your valuables safely in our locked transfer vehicles or in the lockers at our rafting facility for the duration of the tour.
