Rafting from Sorgun: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Staying in Sorgun? This leafy, pine-shaded resort strip just east of Side is one of the easiest places on the coast to swap a lounger for a paddle. Between the big all-inclusive beach hotels and the quiet forest backdrop, Sorgun's guests are here to relax — which is exactly why a half-day of white-water rafting has become the top day-trip from here. It's the one excursion that gets you off the sunbed, into the cool mountain air, and back in time for dinner.

Every tour includes FREE round-trip hotel transfer, door-to-door from your Sorgun hotel. The drive up to Köprülü Canyon takes roughly an hour through the Manavgat river valley, so you spend more time on the water and less on logistics. Even better, you pay on the tour day — reserve free online now, then settle up in cash or by card once you arrive. No prepayment, no risk.

Two rivers, two moods. Köprülü Canyon is the classic Class II–III run — a 12–14 km stretch of splashy rapids and calm pools that's perfect for families and first-timers, and non-swimmers are welcome. Craving more? Tazı Canyon delivers full-on Class IV–V white water for thrill-seekers. Want to pack in the adrenaline? Our 4-in-1 combo days pair rafting with zipline, buggy and more.

Prices start from €20 (up to €49 for combos), and every trip comes with licensed guides, helmet and buoyancy vest, a full safety briefing, insurance, and lunch by the river on most tours. The rafting season runs roughly April to October. Browse all our rafting day tours and grab a spot straight from Sorgun.
