Rafting from Bogazkent — Koprulu Canyon Day Trip

Staying in Bogazkent and wondering whether the rafting minibus really reaches your quieter corner of the coast? It does — free hotel pickup covers the whole Bogazkent beach strip, and Koprulu Canyon is only around an hour inland.

Free pickup that reaches Bogazkent

Bogazkent sits just east of Belek, a little further from the main resort cluster, so some guests worry they will be left out of the transfer net. You won't be. Our minibuses collect from hotels right across Bogazkent and Bogazkent Beach as standard, at no extra cost. Pickup is in the morning and you are back at your hotel in the late afternoon or early evening, leaving the rest of your day free.

Why Koprulu Canyon suits a Bogazkent break

The drive from Bogazkent to Beskonak takes around an hour, winding up from the coast into the pine forests of Koprulu Canyon National Park. It is one of the shortest canyon transfers on this stretch of coast, which means more time on the water and less time in the minibus. For a resort that is all about slowing down, a half-day of cool mountain river makes the perfect contrast to the beach.

What the rafting day is like

The classic run covers around 14 km of the Koprucay river at grade II-III — lively enough to feel like a proper adventure, gentle enough for families and first-timers. A trained guide steers every raft, and all the gear you need (helmet, life jacket, paddle) is provided. The water is fed by cold mountain snowmelt, so it stays refreshing even in the summer heat, and the season runs roughly from April to October.

Booking direct from your hotel

Hotel reception desks and roaming reps add their own commission, so the price you see on a lobby flyer is rarely the best one. Booking direct with us cuts out the middleman — see our full range on our tours page, or head straight to our rafting from Bogazkent details for the live rate and pickup information.
