Expect dust, water fights, swimming, lunch, and a one-hour boat ride if selected.

“City of Side: Köprülü Canyon Rafting Tour with Lunch - We spent a very fun and active day with our group. Instead of a bus ride, we got to travel the whole way by jeep, which was very cool! The safari didn’t leave anyone indifferent, with lots of laughter and enjoyment of the nature Turkey has to offer. The buggy ride was in a convoy, which meant you couldn’t drive wherever you wanted - so keep that in mind! After the buggy ride, we headed for rafting, which was very enjoyable, with beautiful scenery and an exciting challenge on the river. During the rafting, we had a short lunch break…”

“Fantastic tour🤩 Great value for money! They picked us up at our hotel in Side. Our guide was amazing, speaking both English and German fluently, and she was in such a good mood, keeping the group entertained with her stories.
