Rafting from Crystal Sunset Luxury Resort: Köprülü Canyon Day Trip

Staying at Crystal Sunset Luxury Resort in Kumköy, Side? Your rafting day starts right at the lobby. We collect you with free round-trip door-to-door transfer, so there's no need to arrange a taxi or find a meeting point — just wait in the lobby and hop into an air-conditioned minibus. From this stretch of the Side coast, the ride up to Köprülü Canyon takes roughly an hour through the pine forests of the Taurus foothills.

On arrival you're fitted with a helmet and life vest, given a full safety briefing by licensed guides, and set off down the cool Köprüçay river. Our classic white-water rafting run is Class II–III — genuinely family-friendly, and non-swimmers are welcome. Thrill-seekers can step up to the Class IV–V Tazı Canyon route, or pair rafting with quad, buggy or zipline in one of our combo tours.

Tours start from €20, with helmet, vest, briefing and insurance included, and lunch on most trips. Best of all, you pay on the tour day — no prepayment needed when you reserve. The season runs from around April to October. Browse every option on our tours page and reserve your Crystal Sunset Luxury Resort pickup today.
