MORE ABOUT THE TOUR  

• Tourists who are open to new emotions and impressions will enjoy Rafting and quad Safari on a dynamic and fun day trip.

• Rafting is rafting on a mountain river on inflatable rafts or kayaks, during which the team will have to overcome all sorts of obstacles and obstacles encountered on their way.
• The very name "rafting" comes from the English word raft, which means "raft" in translation
• There is a version about how rafting originated. It was during the Vietnam War, when soldiers transported cargo along rivers using rafts. One day, the torn-off raft was carried away by a stormy current. The soldier who was on the raft not only survived, but was also able to bypass the rapids and other obstacles encountered on his way. After this incident, rafting on the river became a kind of entertainment for the soldiers.
• Now rafting is a popular type of extreme water sports all over the world, in which competitions and championships are held.
• Conventionally, rafting is divided into categories: sports, tourist and hiking.
• We, tourists who are looking for a fun, interesting and diverse way to spend time on vacation, are interested in tourist rafting.
• All rafting routes in Turkey have a 2nd, sometimes 3rd level of difficulty, suitable for both beginners and advanced rafters. The net time spent on the water is approximately 2 hours. Active rowing certainly alternates with rest on land.
• The ideal time for rafting on the river is from June to September, because even on the hottest days, the water temperature in the river will be 10 – 12C.
• Vacationers in such resort cities of Turkey as Antalya, Kemer, Alanya, Belek and Side to participate in rafting go to the National Park Kepryulu Canyon, which is located near the village of Beshkonak in Manavgat, which is located 90 km from the center of Antalya.

• Vacationers in such Turkish resort cities as Antalya, Kemer, Alanya, Belek and Side go to the Koprulu Canyon National Park near the village of Beshkonak in the village of Manavgat, which is located 90 km from the center of Antalya, to participate in rafting.
• Koprulu Canyon National Park was established in 1973 and covers an area of 366,140 hectares. The name of the reserve was due to the canyon of the same name, formed by the Kepruchay River between the villages of Beshkonak and Balasan. In the Republic of Turkey, the Köprülü canyon is considered the largest. Its length – 14 km, and the height reaches 100 meters. In places, the walls of the gorge are almost impossible to climb.
• The Kepruchay, or Kepryu River, originates in the Taurus Mountains and, passing through natural canyons, filling them with groundwater, flows into the Mediterranean Sea south of the city of Serik. Its length is 183 kilometers. Being a full-flowing source, with a fairly strong current, both in summer and in winter, Köprüçay is ideal for rafting and other water sports.
• It is worth noting that the Köprülü Canyon National Park is one of the most beautiful natural recreation areas in Turkey. On its territory there is the largest natural cypress forest in the entire Mediterranean region, with an area of 400 hectares. Its rich fauna includes 48 rare and endangered species. Of these, 44 species are found only here, i.e. are endemic species; 5 species are on the verge of extinction on a global scale; 4 species nationally; 39 species are endangered in Europe.
• In the reserve, you can watch the mountain goat and the black salamander, admire how the Anatolian scavenger and griffon vulture soar in the sky.
• Many historical and archaeological monuments, such as castles, aqueducts, roads and ancient bridges, have also been preserved here. For example, the most famous among tourists is the ancient Roman bridge Oluk, which connects the two parts of the Köprülü canyon. It can be safely called a kind of entrance and visiting card of the natural park.
• To the west of the Kopruchay River, in a mountainous area, are the ruins of the ancient city of Selge, which was founded in the 5th century BC. Not much remains of the once majestic city: an ancient theater, agora, cisterns, aqueducts, temples Zeus and Artemis.

• The ATV is a four–wheeled all-terrain vehicle that is very popular in tourism because of its maneuverability and cross-country ability, on any off-road, besides, it is quite easy to manage. A person who wants to get behind the wheel of an ATV does not have to have any driving experience, in fact, as well as a driver's license.
• Bumpy road, uphill climb, forest trails and water obstacles, the ATV will overcome all this with ease, take you to the most inaccessible places so that guests can fully enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature.
• ATVs average speeds of 60-70 km/h. However, ATV riding in Turkey is primarily entertaining, no extreme racing – safety is above all!
