Rafting from Manavgat: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Manavgat sits right at the doorstep of Turkey's most famous white-water, which makes rafting the number-one day trip from town. Whether you're staying near the Manavgat waterfall, along the river promenade, or in the resort hotels toward Side and Sorgun, you're only a short ride up the valley from the rapids of Köprülü Canyon. And you don't need to arrange a thing to get there.

Every booking includes a free round-trip hotel transfer — our driver collects you door-to-door from your Manavgat accommodation and brings you back the same way. The drive up the Manavgat river valley to the Beşkonak launch area takes around 45 to 60 minutes, a scenic run into the pine-covered Taurus foothills. Best of all, you reserve free online and pay on the tour day in cash or by card, so there's no risk in booking ahead.

There are two canyons to choose from. Köprülü Canyon (Class II–III) is the classic ~12–14 km run — lively enough to thrill, gentle enough for families, kids and non-swimmers. For adrenaline seekers, Tazı Canyon delivers Class IV–V extreme water. Prices start from just €20, rising to €49 for 4-in-1 combo adventures.

Every tour comes with licensed guides, helmet and buoyancy vest, a full safety briefing, insurance and lunch by the river on most trips. Browse all our rafting tours, learn what to expect on the white-water run, plan a family day out, or step up to the extreme Tazı Canyon. Prefer more in one day? Our combo packages add quad, buggy or zipline to your rafting. From Manavgat, the canyon is close, the transfer is free, and you only pay once you're there.
