Rafting from Acanthus & Cennet Barut Collection: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Staying at the Acanthus & Cennet Barut Collection on the old-town side of Side? Our white-water rafting day trips begin right at your door: a free round-trip transfer collects you from the hotel lobby, so there is nothing to arrange yourself. From this stretch of Side the drive up to Köprülü Canyon takes roughly an hour along the Manavgat river road, leaving you plenty of the day for the water.

The classic Köprülü Canyon route is Class II–III — lively, splashy and genuinely family-friendly, with non-swimmers welcome. Licensed guides run the safety briefing and every guest gets a helmet, life vest and insurance; lunch is included on most departures. Prefer bigger drops? The Tazı Canyon extreme run steps up to Class IV–V for confident adventurers.

Everything is pay-on-the-day — no prepayment, no deposit. You simply reserve your seat and settle up on the tour, in cash or card, once you are there. Rafting from Acanthus & Cennet Barut Collection starts from just €20 per person, and the season runs from around April to October. Browse all available tours or pair rafting with a jeep safari or zipline via our combo packages for a fuller day out from Side.
