You'll spend the day on a buggy, a raft and a zipline at Beşkonak in Köprülü Canyon, starting from Side hotels. We collect you and drive inland for about an hour each way, then your guides brief a buggy ride of about 45 minutes before the river sections. After that, river guides issue rafting and zipline kit for about 12 km of rafting with a swim break and a lunch break during that stretch. The whole day lasts about 8 hours. Pack closed shoes you can get dusty and wet, plus a towel for the lunch break on the raft.

The raft covers about 12 km, with a swim break, animations and lunch named during that stretch. Stay in the boat unless the crew send you swimming a feature. we usually put the buggy first, then the river kit and the 12 km raft, though order on the day can still shift if the river timetable changes.

Photos and animations sold or filmed on the river are not described as part of the day, so bring your own waterproof camera if you want pictures.
