The Tour Program of Side Rafting Canyoning and Zipline

The tour begins in the morning when an air-conditioned bus picks you up around 09.00 from your hotel security gate. The voyage to the rafting centre at Köprülü Canyon National Park takes around one hour.

At the end of the hiking path, you will arrive at one of the coolest places in the park—a natural pool with ice-cold waters. You can get into the waters of this pool there if you are brave enough. The water here is icy. Then, you will be on the way back to the centre for your rafting adventure.

At the rafting centre, you will meet the instructors who will guide you through the basics of rafting. They will hand you the safety equipment and inform you about the adventure ahead. Once you are ready, your raft goes into the river, and you begin the most thrilling rafting session. The natural beauty around the river makes the experience even more phenomenal. In the raft, expect to feel the cool water splashing on you as you move forward with the currents. You can play Splash Wars with other boats or race them to make this experience more fun and exciting. After about 30 minutes of rafting, there will be a stop for rest by the river. While the other people swim or sunbathe here, the instructors will take you to the zipline station nearby.
Another activity of this 3-in-1 combo tour is the adrenaline-boosting iron rope zipline. What can be more impressive than crossing the beautiful river hanging from a Zipline? The trained staff will give you all the necessary instructions and equipment beforehand. Then, you cross the river while hanging from the zip line and enjoy the stunning views from above. Cross from one side to the other, and feel your enthusiasm growing with an activity maximising your experiences.

After ziplining, you will get on your raft again. After a short rafting, you will arrive at our riverside restaurant. You will have your lunch with BBQ chicken, rice, salad, and bread here.
