Rafting from Kumköy: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Kumköy is one of Side's most relaxed beach resorts, a leafy stretch of pine-backed hotels and long sandy shoreline just west of the old town. Guests here come for slow mornings by the pool and swims in the warm Mediterranean, which makes a burst of white-water the perfect contrast to a lazy beach holiday. From the doorstep of your Kumköy hotel, a river-rafting day trip is the single best adventure you can add to the week.

Every tour we run includes a FREE round-trip hotel transfer, door to door. Our driver collects you from your Kumköy lobby and brings you back the same way, so there's no car hire, no bus timetables and nothing to arrange. The ride up to Köprülü Canyon, inland along the Manavgat river valley toward Beşkonak, takes roughly an hour and winds through cool pine forest that feels a world away from the coast.

Choose the run that suits you. Köprülü Canyon is the classic Class II–III route, a fun ~12–14 km white-water run that's ideal for families, kids and non-swimmers. For adrenaline seekers, Tazı Canyon steps up to Class IV–V. Prefer a full day out? Our 4-in-1 combos pair rafting with zipline, quad or buggy.

Prices start from €20, and you pay on the tour day in cash or by card. Reserve your seat free online today, decide nothing else, and settle up only when you're there. Every trip includes licensed guides, helmet and buoyancy vest, a safety briefing, full insurance, and lunch by the river on most tours.
