2.Antalya Family Rafting Adventure w/ Free Hotel Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $20Best value

Ride 14 km of the Köprüçay River through Köprülü Canyon National Park, tackling three rapids with an instructor, safety gear, lunch, and hotel transfers. The trip suits beginners with moderate fitness, but confirm the rafting time before booking because one report describes a much shorter river session.

“When you arrive at the activity centre, people have other activities booked, The staff will try upsell you the other activities. If you don't participate then it was a 2 hours wait for rafting. The rafting activity begins which only lasts about 30 mins and only covers part of the river. The description is very inaccurate and your day goes to waste.”

“We have made sure several times in advance that our tour booked in German is also offered in German. On site there was a guide who spoke German but did not come on the rafting. We had to decide whether we wanted to do the rafting as booked, only what was only possible in a Turkish group (no English no German) or book even more activities so that we could raft in a group with an English speaking guide. In addition, we were informed on site that if we do not book any further activities, we will have to stay there for a very long time as everyone will travel…”
