Rafting from Çolaklı: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Çolaklı is a laid-back beach resort just east of Side, packed with all-inclusive hotels and families who came for sun, sand and a calm Mediterranean pace. When you want one day of real adrenaline, white-water rafting is the number-one day trip from Çolaklı — and it starts right at your hotel door.

Every tour includes a FREE round-trip hotel transfer, so there is no car hire, no bus stops and no hidden extras. Our driver collects you in Çolaklı in the morning and drives you inland up the Manavgat river valley to the Köprülü Canyon rafting base in Beşkonak — a scenic ride of roughly one hour. Best of all, you reserve free online now and pay on the tour day in cash or by card, so nothing is locked in until you are there.

Two rivers, two moods

We run two canyons. Köprülü Canyon (Class II–III) is the classic ~12–14 km white-water run — splashy, fun and perfectly safe for first-timers, non-swimmers and kids, making it ideal for the family crowd that fills Çolaklı. For thrill-seekers, Tazı Canyon (Class IV–V) delivers steep, technical extreme rapids. Browse all our rafting tours, compare the gentle family trip with the extreme Tazı run, or read more about the white-water experience.

Prices start from €20, rising to €49 for our action-packed 4-in-1 combo adventures. Included as standard: licensed guides, helmet and buoyancy vest, a full safety briefing, insurance, and lunch by the river on most tours. The season runs April to October, when the water and the weather are at their best. Swap a day on the sunbed for splashing through emerald canyon water — then let us drive you back to Çolaklı in the afternoon.
