Exploring the Side & Alanya Adventure Tour: Rafting, Jeep, Quad/Buggy Safari, Zipline & Lunch
If you’re craving a day full of adrenaline and incredible scenery, this tour in Antalya could be just what you’re looking for. It’s a whirlwind of activities — from navigating the rushing waters of Köprülü Canyon to zooming through rugged terrain on ATVs, all topped off with ziplining through treetops and a hearty lunch. We’ve looked into it, and based on the reviews and details, this experience manages to strike a good balance between adventure, scenery, and value.
What really stands out is the variety of activities packed into one day — you get the thrill of rafting, the fun of buggy rides, the excitement of ziplining, and the scenic drive through the Taurus Mountains. Plus, the included lunch makes the whole day feel well-rounded, with enough fuel to keep your energy up. Our favorite part? The stunning views of lush wilderness, towering cliffs, and turquoise waters that you’ll never forget.
One thing to keep in mind is that this tour isn’t perfect for everyone. It’s quite active, so if you’re pregnant or have back problems, you might want to skip this one. Also, the price of $36 per person offers quite a lot for the money, especially considering the included safety gear, insurance, and hotel transfers — making it a solid deal for those wanting an all-in outdoor experience. If you’re after a fun, action-filled day in nature, this tour ticks many boxes.

It’s especially well-suited for travelers who appreciate stunning scenery and aren’t shy about getting a little muddy. Families with older children might enjoy it too, provided everyone’s ready for a physical outing.

Return and Drop-off

The Experience from a Traveler’s Perspective

From the reviews, it’s clear this tour hits a sweet spot for those craving a varied outdoor adventure. One traveler called it “The variety,” and it’s easy to see why. The chance to switch from rafting to ziplining to ATV riding means you won’t get bored — and you get to see some truly beautiful scenery along the way.
The logistics seem well thought out too. The hotel pick-up and drop-off are convenient, and the safety equipment and insurance add peace of mind, especially if you’re new to outdoor activities. The price, at $36, is quite competitive considering the number of activities and inclusions.
One drawback that some might note is the physical nature of the tour. If you aren’t comfortable with muddy terrains or water activities, or if you have mobility issues, this may not be the best fit. It’s also worth mentioning that the tour explicitly notes it’s not suitable for pregnant women or those with back problems.
The Value of the Price
With everything included — transfers, safety gear, insurance, and lunch — this experience offers good value. It’s a full day of entertainment that would cost significantly more if booked separately. Plus, the chance to see the stunning Köprülü Canyon and enjoy multiple adrenaline-pumping activities makes it worthwhile for many travelers.
Final Thoughts: Is It Right for You?

If you’re someone who loves outdoor adventures and wants to make the most out of a day in Antalya, this tour is a solid pick. It’s especially good if you enjoy a mix of water and land activities, and you’re keen to see beautiful landscapes without spending a fortune. The activities are varied enough to cater to different interests, and the included lunch means you won’t need to worry about finding a place to eat mid-day.
However, if you prefer a more relaxed, less physically demanding experience, or if you have specific health concerns, this may not be the best fit. Always consider your comfort level with water, mud, and heights before booking.
This tour offers a lively, scenic, and affordable way to spend a day in Antalya’s outdoor playground. You’ll leave with a camera full of photos, muscles a bit sore from the activity, and plenty of stories to tell.
