Rafting from Kemer: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Kemer sits between the Taurus pine forests and the turquoise Mediterranean, a laid-back resort town loved for its marina, shady beaches and mountain backdrop. Guests here come to slow down — but the single best day-trip out of Kemer swaps the sunbed for a paddle: a white-water rafting adventure through Turkey's most famous river canyon.

Every rafting tour from Kemer includes FREE round-trip hotel transfer. Our air-conditioned minibus collects you door-to-door from your Kemer hotel and brings you back the same way — you don't need a car, a map or a plan. The drive up the Manavgat valley to Köprülü Canyon takes around 1.75–2 hours each way, winding through pine-clad mountains that feel worlds away from the coast.

You'll raft on two possible rivers. Köprülü Canyon is the classic ~12–14 km run (Class II–III): splashy, scenic and genuinely family-friendly — kids and non-swimmers are welcome, since you wear a helmet and buoyancy vest the whole way. For adrenaline chasers, Tazı Canyon ups the stakes with Class IV–V rapids. Prefer a bigger day? Our 4-in-1 combo tours stack rafting with zipline, quad or buggy.

Prices start from €20, and there's no prepayment: reserve your spot free online and pay on the tour day in cash or by card. Included as standard — licensed guides, helmet, buoyancy vest, a full safety briefing, insurance, and lunch by the river on most tours. The season runs roughly April to October, when the water is at its best. Book from Kemer and let us handle the rest.
