Rafting from Kaleiçi: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Staying in Kaleiçi, Antalya's atmospheric old town of cobbled lanes, Ottoman houses and the marble Hadrian's Gate? The best day trip out of the city is a white-water rafting adventure in the Taurus mountains — and we make it effortless. Every booking includes a FREE round-trip hotel transfer, door to door, so you simply step out of your boutique guesthouse or harbour hotel and we handle the rest. The ride up the Manavgat valley to the Beşkonak area takes roughly 1.25 hours, an easy scenic run from the heart of Antalya.

Kaleiçi's guests are here for culture, the marina and the Mediterranean — but a canyon morning is the perfect contrast to the old-town heat. On the Köprülü Canyon run (Class II–III) you paddle the classic ~12–14 km stretch through turquoise water and pine forest. It's genuine white water yet family-friendly — kids and non-swimmers are welcome. Thrill-seekers can step up to Tazı Canyon (Class IV–V) for a serious adrenaline hit.

Prices start from €20, rising to €49 for our 4-in-1 combo days that pack rafting together with other adventures. Every tour comes with licensed guides, helmet and buoyancy vest, a full safety briefing, insurance and — on most tours — lunch by the river.

Best of all, there's nothing to pay upfront: reserve your spot free online and pay on the tour day, in cash or by card. The rafting season runs April to October, and Köprülü Canyon sits inland up the river valley where the water stays cool and lively all summer.
