You'll spend a full inland day at Beşkonak in Köprülü Canyon, starting with a buggy safari of about 45 minutes before moving into rafting and a zipline with kit from the river guides. The raft runs about 12 km, with a swim break and a lunch break during that stretch of the river. Dusty tracks give way to moving water, so the day feels very different from a morning on the Alanya or Side beach strip. Our guides brief the buggy and the river sections so you know what comes next before you start. About two hours of road each way forms part of the schedule, which is why leaving the resort early matters for the full arc.
After hotel collection the inland run to Beşkonak takes about two hours through the approach to Köprülü Canyon. Once you arrive, guides brief the buggy, then you ride for about 45 minutes before moving to the rafting area. River guides issue rafting and zipline equipment, and the raft covers about 12 km, with a swim break, animations and lunch named during that stretch. Wear clothes you can get dusty for the buggy, with swimwear underneath for the river later. Closed shoes that stay on matter from the dusty track through to climbing in and out of the boat.
During the river section the exact menu and animation style are not listed, so treat those as a guide call on the day rather than a fixed buffet or show. Write dietary needs in the notes so the lunch break can be planned as clearly as possible. We confirm pickup and return times closer to the day, because the long inland road forms a large part of the schedule. After the canyon activities the vehicle returns toward Alanya or Side. Hotel drop-off is not listed, so confirm the return if you need it.
Beşkonak lies in Köprülü Canyon National Park, inland of the Alanya and Side coast. All three activities are described as happening in the canyon area rather than back at the hotel, which is why the long transfer matters. You move from dusty buggy tracks into the river corridor for the raft and zipline, so the day feels very different from a beach morning. That inland setting is the whole point of leaving the resort strip early.
Pickup is from Alanya and Side hotels for this inland journey. We confirm those times closer to the day, because about two hours of road each way forms part of the schedule. Bring a towel and a dry change for the bus home, and leave phones you cannot waterproof in the hotel before the raft. The return road closes the day back on the coast after the buggy and river sections.
You should be happy in a buggy and in moving water on the 12 km raft. No certificate is needed. Closed shoes you can get dusty and wet are more useful than flip-flops. Soft quick-dry clothes over swimwear keep the long day more comfortable.
Infants on laps refers to the hotel transfer rather than the buggy or the river. Ask before putting children on the buggy and the raft, and raise any doubt with us before the day. Pack a towel, sunscreen and a dry change for the road home. If you cannot swim, tell us in advance so the river section can be planned honestly.
This day covers the 45-minute buggy, the 12 km raft with a lunch break, and the zipline at Beşkonak in one inland schedule, with our guides briefing each section and staying with the group. Pickup from Alanya and Side is built into the day, so the inland transfer stays with our driver rather than as a separate arrangement. Rafting and zipline equipment is issued by the river guides, which means you can travel light from the hotel with practical shoes and swim kit.
We confirm your pickup and return times closer to the day so you know when the vehicle will collect you. the lunch break on the raft gives the river section a clear pause without turning the whole day into a restaurant booking. Photos sold at the canyon are not part of what we include, so bring your own waterproof camera if you want pictures. You get a clear full-day sequence from Alanya or Side hotels to Beşkonak and back toward the coast.
Hotel collection from Alanya or Side starts a long inland run. The inland road is about 2 hours to Beşkonak in Köprülü Canyon, so wear clothes you can get dusty, keep swimwear underneath, and pack a towel for the later river section. We confirm the collection window closer to the day so the driver can align with the canyon schedule.
On arrival the guide briefs the buggy safari, then you ride for about 45 minutes in the canyon area. That section comes before the river on the usual order, and closed shoes you can get dusty are more useful here than flip-flops. Keep a light layer handy if the track feels cooler than the coast.
Rafting guides then issue equipment for the raft and the zipline. The raft route is about 12 km, with a swim break, animations and a lunch break during that stretch. Stay in the boat unless the crew send you swimming a feature, and listen for paddle commands through the gorge.
The zipline is part of the same river kit issue. After the canyon sections the vehicle returns toward Alanya or Side. Ask us to confirm hotel drop-off if you need a set return, and we confirm finish times closer to the day. Keep a dry layer ready for the long road home.
The three parts of the day are a buggy safari of about 45 minutes, then rafting and zipline kit issued by rafting guides, then a raft of about 12 km with a swim break, animations and a lunch break on the water. Venue is Köprülü Canyon at Beşkonak, inland of the Alanya and Side coast. Pickup is from Alanya and Side hotels, and the day lasts 10 hours including the inland road.
Closed shoes you can get dusty and wet help from the buggy through to the raft. Write dietary needs in the notes for the lunch break on the river.
Hotel collection from Alanya and Side is included on this day. The inland run is about 2 hours to Beşkonak in Köprülü Canyon, and that road time forms part of the ten-hour schedule. We confirm pickup and return times closer to the day.
Notes can flag a later pickup if you have an evening plan at the hotel. Wear clothes you can get dusty, keep swimwear underneath, and pack a towel for the later river section. Soft closed shoes matter more than flip-flops once you reach the canyon area.
Lunch is included as a break during the raft, and again as part of the canyon-area schedule. That is why a meal is part of your day on the 12 km river section. The exact menu is a guide call on the day rather than a fixed buffet.
Write dietary needs in the notes and expect the exact sitting to be set by our guides once you are on the water. Soft wet shoes and a towel still help around the lunch break on the raft. Bring a light layer if the river breeze feels cool after swimming.
The buggy section is about 45 minutes after a briefing at Beşkonak. Rafting and zipline equipment is then issued by experienced rafting guides, and the raft route is about 12 km, with a swim break and animations alongside the lunch break. The usual order puts the buggy first, then the river kit and the raft.
How the three parts are ordered on the day can still shift if the river timetable changes. Closed shoes you can get dusty help on the buggy, then the same practical footwear helps on the raft. Stay with the briefing rather than inventing your own sequence.
Ten hours includes the long road from Alanya or Side, the buggy, the raft and zipline, and the return. We confirm pickup and return times closer to the day rather than promising a fixed hotel minute. About 2 hours each way is why this inland day runs long.
Summer traffic toward the national park can still stretch the transfer further without changing the river sections. Put a hard hotel return in the notes if you have an evening plan. Pack a dry change for the bus home after the water.
The group is 1 to 15, and the minimum age is 0 with infants on laps. That infant note is for the hotel transfer, not permission for babies on the buggy, the raft or the zipline. Soft closed shoes and swimming comfort still matter for anyone joining the river.
The day is easy-rated, which is not a child-height or weight rule for the vehicles. Our guides brief the buggy and the 12 km raft once you reach Beşkonak.
Rafting and zipline equipment is provided by the rafting guides at Beşkonak. Session kit is included, which is why issued river kit is part of this day. Ask us about buggy helmets if you want that detail before you travel.
Bring swimwear, a towel, closed shoes you can get dusty and wet, and a dry change for the bus home. Leave spare phones in the hotel if you cannot waterproof them for the 12 km raft. Photos sold at the canyon are not part of what we include.
High or low water can stop the raft on the Köprüçay. If the river is closed, we will tell you about what can still run rather than sending you in when the gorge is not workable. Your safety on the water comes first.
Closed shoes you can get dusty still help on a running day, because the 45-minute buggy comes before the water and the raft still needs footwear that stays on. Guides decide which river features are in play once you reach the boat. Stay with the briefing rather than choosing your own line.
Clothes you can get wet and dusty, swimwear underneath, and shoes that stay on in a buggy and on a raft are the useful kit. A towel and sunscreen help at the lunch break on the raft. Soft closed shoes matter more than flip-flops from the first dusty track to the river.
Photos and animations sold or filmed on the river are not part of this day. Leave spare phones in the hotel if you cannot waterproof them for the 12 km raft. Pack a dry change for the long road home to Alanya or Side.
We confirm pickup and return times closer to the day rather than promising a fixed minute. Collection from Alanya and Side hotels is built into the ten-hour inland day, and the road to Beşkonak can stretch if traffic builds toward the national park. Clear hotel details help the driver on both strips.
Use the notes for dietary needs, non-swimmers, or a later pickup if you have an evening plan. That helps our crew plan the buggy, raft and lunch break. Soft closed shoes and a dry change should already be packed before collection.
