Rafting from Barut Hemera: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Staying at Barut Hemera on the Side coast? Your rafting day starts right at the lobby. We collect you with free round-trip door-to-door transfer from the hotel entrance, so there's no need to find a bus stop or arrange a taxi — just be ready in reception and we'll handle the rest.

From this part of Side, the drive up to the Köprülü Canyon rafting base takes roughly an hour through the pine hills of the Taurus foothills. The classic run is Class II–III: fun, splashy and genuinely family-friendly, so children and non-swimmers are welcome. Every guest gets a helmet, life vest, a full safety briefing and licensed river guides, plus insurance. Lunch by the river is included on most departures.

Want more adrenaline? Ask about Tazı Canyon Class IV–V for experienced thrill-seekers, or bundle rafting with quad, buggy or a zipline in our combo tours. You can compare every option on the full tour list.

The best part for Barut Hemera guests: you pay on the tour day, in person — no prepayment and no card needed to reserve. The season runs from around April to October. Reserve your seat, and we'll pick you up from the lobby.
