Rafting and Jeep Safari Tour

Do you want to grab the paddles and jump into a rafting boat floating on the Köprüçay River? Or how about an exciting jeep safari through the lush forests of Side’s countryside? With the Side Jeep Safari and Rafting Tour, you can enjoy both adventures in one thrilling experience. This is a must-do activity for adventure enthusiasts!

The Side-Manavgat region offers more than just its famous sea, beaches, and sunshine—it is also home to breathtaking natural wonders. One of the most stunning and well-known spots is the Köprülü Canyon, a paradise of rushing rivers and lush greenery. After an off-road safari on muddy trails, dirt roads, and asphalt paths in Side, you’ll embark on an adrenaline-filled rafting adventure on the Köprüçay River. Throughout the day, you’ll take in spectacular natural landscapes and breathe in the refreshing pine-scented air of the Taurus Mountains.

We will pick you up from your hotel in a 4×4 Jeep for an exhilarating Jeep Safari that lasts approximately three hours. As you journey off-road through the countryside, you'll pass through forests, charming villages, orange groves, and ancient landmarks. The Jeep Safari ends at our rafting facility by the river in Taşağıl village. Upon arrival, our experienced guides will provide an introduction to the rafting tour and the river and explain how to use the equipment. After receiving your safety gear, you'll first get accustomed to the cool water with a short "body rafting" session, where everyone enters the river and follows one another. Then, your thrilling and fun-filled rafting adventure begins.

The rafting course stretches about 14 km, with a break midway for lunch at our riverside restaurant. The menu includes grilled chicken, rice, salad, and bread. After this refreshing pause, the adventure continues with opportunities to swim, jump from trees and platforms, or even go trekking along the riverbank. Once your rafting experience comes to an end, you'll hop back into the Jeeps for a scenic return journey to your hotel.

The Köprüçay River has a difficulty rating of 2+, while the most extreme rafting rivers are rated 6+, making this an easy and enjoyable rafting experience. Each raft is guided by an instructor who is there to assist you throughout the trip. Comfortable water-friendly footwear, such as sneakers or secure water shoes, is recommended—flip-flops are not suitable. If needed, rafting shoes can be purchased at the facility. You can leave your belongings on the bus during the tour, and smoking is allowed during designated breaks.

The Rafting and Jeep Safari Tour combines two of the most popular adventure activities in Side, making it an experience that thrill-seekers won't want to miss!
