The Rafting and Buggy Safari Tour in Antalya kicks off around 08:30 AM when a team member picks you up from your hotel's security gate in a comfortable bus. The journey takes you to the Köprülü Canyon National Park rafting centre near the Side region. Along the way, you'll have the chance to take some fantastic photos of the breathtaking scenery.
Upon arrival at the Buggy Safari station, you'll receive a brief introduction from the instructors on how to drive the buggy cars. Even if you've never driven one before, there's no need to worry—no driver's license or prior experience is required. The instructors will thoroughly explain how to control and operate the vehicles, and you're welcome to ask any questions. Please remember that the minimum age to drive a buggy is 14, but younger participants can join as passengers.
Once you're set, get ready for an exciting 45-minute ride through off-road trails that are often wet and muddy. To make the adventure even more thrilling, you'll navigate natural obstacles like rocks and water banks, pushing your adrenaline levels even higher!
After the Buggy Safari, the adventure continues with an exciting rafting session. Before hitting the water, instructors will provide a safety briefing and equip you with life jackets and helmets. The rapids here are beginner-friendly with a low to moderate difficulty level, making this an ideal experience even for first-time rafters. Groups are formed based on language preferences, with 8-10 participants per raft, each guided by an experienced instructor.
As soon as you step into the raft, the rush of excitement kicks in! You'll paddle through whitewater rapids, share laughs with friends and family, and enjoy the stunning natural scenery of lush greenery and towering cliffs surrounding the river.
During the 14-kilometer rafting course, there's a 40-minute rafting session followed by a 20-minute swim break, where you can jump into the river, swim, or relax under the sun. Then, the rafting adventure resumes, leading you to a riverside restaurant for a delicious lunch.
After an action-packed morning, you'll recharge with a BBQ meal, including grilled chicken, rice, salad, and fresh bread. Following the meal, you'll raft for another 20 minutes before reaching the final stop.
At the end of the tour, you'll have the chance to view professional photos and videos captured during the experience. You can also purchase them at reasonable prices as a keepsake of your adventure.
Finally, after an unforgettable day, our bus will depart around 5:00 PM, taking you back to your hotel in Antalya. While you might feel a bit tired, you'll also be filled with incredible memories of this action-packed adventure!
Wear comfortable shoes or sneakers and also dress in comfortable clothing. Flip-flops or sandals are not suitable for rafting, as you may lose them during the activity. If you don’t have appropriate shoes for water use, rafting shoes are available for purchase at the centre. Additionally, neoprene suits can be rented at the centre for those who prefer to wear one while rafting. These items are available at reasonable prices.
