Rafting from Mahmutlar: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Mahmutlar is Alanya's laid-back seaside suburb — long promenades, palm-lined beaches and a relaxed mix of long-stay guests, expat residents and families who came for the sun and the sea. It's a wonderful place to unwind, but after a few beach days most visitors want one real adventure, and white-water rafting is the number one day trip out of Mahmutlar. The rocky coast here has no rivers of its own, so we bring the canyon to you: every booking includes free round-trip hotel transfer, door-to-door, so you simply wait in your lobby and we handle the rest.

The drive up the Manavgat valley to Köprülü Canyon takes around 2 hours from Mahmutlar (please treat this as roughly, not an exact promise — it depends on your hotel and traffic). It's a scenic climb inland through pine forest to the cool, turquoise river near Beşkonak, where the day really begins.

We run two rivers. Köprülü Canyon is the classic white-water route — Class II–III over roughly 12–14 km, splashy and fun but family-friendly, with kids and non-swimmers welcome. For thrill-seekers, Tazı Canyon delivers Class IV–V extreme rafting.

Every tour comes with licensed guides, helmet, buoyancy vest, safety briefing and insurance, plus lunch by the river on most trips. Prices start from €20, rising to €49 for our 4-in-1 combo adventures. Best of all, you pay on the tour day — reserve free online now, settle up in cash or by card when we pick you up. Browse all our rafting tours and turn one Mahmutlar morning into the highlight of your holiday. Season runs roughly April to October.
