Rafting from Kizilot: Your Koprulu Canyon Day Out

If you're staying in Kizilot, the white water of Koprulu Canyon is closer than you might think - and getting there is the easy part.

Free hotel pickup from Kizilot

Free hotel pickup by minibus is standard, and yes, it reaches Kizilot. Being one of the coastal villages in the Side-Manavgat corridor, your resort is firmly inside our regular pickup route, so your driver comes to your hotel and you don't need to arrange your own transfer. Pickup is in the morning and you're back by late afternoon or early evening. We can't publish an exact clock time for every hotel, so we confirm your window when you book.

The scenic drive up to the canyon

From Kizilot it's around an hour inland to Koprulu Canyon National Park near Beskonak. The road climbs gently away from the coast through pine forest and past the Koprucay river, so the transfer itself is part of the day rather than dead time.

What the rafting day is like

The classic run down the Koprucay is around 14 km, with a shorter family option of about 12 km. The rapids are grade II-III - genuinely beginner- and family-friendly - and a trained guide rides in every raft. Helmet and life jacket are provided. The river runs livelier in the spring snowmelt of April and May and gentler through high summer, but the snowmelt water stays cold even in July and August, which is part of the fun. Between rapids there are calm stretches to float, swim and take in the gorge walls. The family route usually welcomes children from about age 6-7. Browse the full range on our rafting tours page.

Honest pricing

We don't print a fixed price here, because the real figure depends on your choices: the route length, whether you join a group or book private, combo add-ons like zipline or quad, photos and video, and transfer distance. Booking direct is usually cheaper than paying a hotel rep. Check the live price for rafting from Kizilot on the booking page.
