Side/Antalya: Jeep, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour with lunch

If you’re considering a day packed with adventure and nature in Antalya, this tour might be exactly what you’re after. From rafting through the stunning Köprülü Canyon to zooming along on a buggy or soaring on a zipline, it offers a well-rounded mix of activities designed to satisfy thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. Based on numerous traveler reviews, we can say this experience tends to deliver a memorable, fun-filled day with professional guidance and a good variety of options.

Two things we particularly like about this tour are the highly praised guides—many reviews highlight their friendliness, multilingual skills, and safety-conscious approach—and the spectacular scenery of the canyon, which is a real highlight whether you’re rafting or relaxing over lunch.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

This tour is designed to give you a comprehensive taste of the adventurous spirit in Antalya, specifically around the UNESCO-listed Köprülü Canyon. From the start, your day kicks off with a hotel pickup (if you’ve selected that option), which is a real convenience, saving you the hassle of finding your way to the base camp. Once there, you’ll get a safety briefing — a crucial step, especially if you’re new to activities like rafting or canyoning, but even seasoned adventurers appreciate the professionalism.

The Itinerary Breakdown

Rafting in Köprülü Canyon is the star of the show. You’ll paddle your way through a 14 km stretch of river, tackling 10 rapids that promise plenty of splashy fun. The water flows through a scenic landscape that’s both invigorating and visually stunning, with many reviewers mentioning how clear and refreshing the river water is. One traveler shared, “The water was cold but beyond refreshing in the heat,” which is exactly what you want on a hot day.

You’ll have opportunities to swim and relax during calm stretches, and some guides even lead the group in body-rafting. Multiple reviews mention how guides are attentive, know their stuff, and keep everyone safe while still making sure you have a good time. As one guest put it: “Sino, our rafting guide, was brilliant—always keeping the energy up and entertaining us.”

Breaks during the trip are strategically placed to recharge and enjoy the scenery. Many reviews praise the riverside lunch, which is hearty and well-organized, giving a much-needed rest after the adrenaline-filled rapids. Some reviewers noted that food arrives a bit late in the day, so it’s wise to pack snacks if you’re hungry beforehand.

Ziplining and canyoning are offered as optional add-ons. The zipline, which lasts about 30 minutes, provides a different perspective—soaring over the canyon and getting a rush from the height. Several reviews mention guides like Omar making these activities fun and safe, emphasizing how well they keep everyone engaged.

Jeep safaris and buggy rides are also available, offering a different way to explore the rugged terrain. Be prepared for some muddy fun if you choose the buggy tour, as many reviewers highlighted the mud factor—bring extra clothes or waterproof gear.

The Group Dynamic and Guide Experience

Most reviews rave about the guides—many say they are fluent in multiple languages, friendly, and highly experienced. One review notes, “Musab, our captain, made sure everyone had fun while prioritizing safety,” which sums up the general consensus. The guides’ approachable manner makes even newcomers feel comfortable, and their knowledge enhances the experience, especially when pointing out scenic spots or sharing local tips.

Transportation & Duration

The tour lasts roughly 4.5 to 8 hours, which includes transportation time. The vans are comfortable and typically pick you up from your hotel, adding convenience. The total activity time for rafting alone is around 2 to 3 hours, with additional time for breaks, lunch, and optional activities.
