Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Belek

We booked this tour through Viator because we were travelling with a 5-year-old child and my wife, who cannot swim. The listing stated that no swimming or rafting experience was required, which was reassuring — and it turned out to be absolutely true. There were many other families with young children, and we all had a fantastic time. We initially booked rafting only, unsure whether the dirt buggy and zip-lining portions would be suitable for a 5-year-old. However, when we arrived, we were encouraged to upgrade for an extra €50, and the staff assured us it would be safe — and they were right. We started with the dirt buggy ride, which was exhilarating. There were both 2-person and 4-person (family-sized) buggies available. Halfway through, you’re allowed to swap drivers. Although my wife was initially nervous, she ended up loving it. You will get covered in mud from splashing through puddles and standing water — but don’t worry, everyone gets jet-washed afterward (completely painless and even a bit fun!). Next, we hopped into open-top jeeps for a scenic drive through the canyon — the views were stunning. Their photography team captured plenty of moments along the way, which you can purchase later. Then came the rafting, and yes, the water is ice cold — likely glacial. Our guide, Fatih, was absolutely brilliant. While some boats were engaged in water fights, he kindly asked others not to splash us, as we had children aboard — and they respectfully obliged. Children sit safely in the middle of the boat while adults paddle around the edges. You’re not allowed to dangle arms or legs over the side for safety reasons, but there’s no fear of the raft tipping. The ride has a few bumps but it’s all well controlled. There are optional stops where you can jump into the river — about 1.5 meters deep in places — and it’s a refreshing break from the heat. The paddling gives you a decent upper arm workout too! Lunch was included and very tasty: one chicken skewer, rice, a delicious grain dish, and cabbage salad. Drinks (including water) are extra. There’s also a mid-rafting break with toilets and a chance to try warm Turkish pancakes filled with cheese or chocolate — highly recommended. Finally, we did the zip-lining. My wife was hesitant but gave it a try — it felt perfectly safe. If you ask, the staff will clip your child in with an adult so they can ride securely on your lap. Just remember to lift your feet before landing! Special thanks to Fatih, our fantastic raft guide, and Ammar, who welcomed us warmly, spoke excellent English, showed us where to park, and ensured we were well looked after throughout the day. These two made the experience especially memorable. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone looking for a full-day adventure that’s fun, safe, and unforgettable.

It's fun with Young children up to 7 years old we thought it was a bit boring me and my daughter of 9 expected a bit more of it

It was a wonderful experience. I would recomend it for everyone. The guide Becky was very animating, enthousiast and funny😊

Took my 12 year old son, we both really enjoyed it. Amar was great and friendly. Food really nice. Would recommend it as a fun family day out.

Communication good. Pick up from our hotel was on time. Comfortable ride approx 2 hours from Belek. On arrival you watch a video which did not really give much information. BRING YOUR OWN BEACH SHOES THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED AND COST 10 EUROS A PAIR Get suited up and then back on the bus to the boat point. All guides very friendly and helpful. Fantastic trip down the river, lots of fun splashing other boats and refreshing in the clear water. Felt very safe and the guide was excellent. It would be good for this tour to include the zip line as those of us who didn’t know about it were left waiting around. Nice meal to end with and you are shown a video of your day and photos taken that you can purchase. Drinks are expensive and in my opinion if a cheaper we would have bought more. Also photos are expensive, again if a better price they would sell more! The team work very hard and make the day a lot of fun hence the 5 star review but hidden costs like having to buy beach shoes and high cost of drinks just spoilt it a little.

It was great fun Great adventure for whole family We felt safe and secure all the time Great guide We recommend it

We had a wonderful time on our rafting tour! The pick-up was punctual, and the whole experience was well-planned. Our tour guide, Ebo, was excellent—he made the trip super fun. I definitely recommend this tour, and if you're lucky, you'll get Ebo as your captain!

Beautiful scenery, great guides, lovely family rafting experience would recommend with combination as if you only book one element due to location being 1 hour from the coast, you have told wait around for ther combo people anyway

We really enjoyed the rafting. From the punctual pick-up to the delicious lunch, it was simply great. Our guide Mehmet entertained us very well and made sure that everyone had a good time. The whole team was very accommodating. Our children (11 & 7 years old) also had a lot of fun. Thank you again for everything

From the outset the day was brilliant the food was nice and the guide was good and we had lots of fun and laughing
