Which rung to buy
Book the 3-in-1 at €38 per adult if you want the Köprülü Canyon rafting run plus a 40-minute off-road leg and a zipline flight in one eight-hour day. Step up to the 4-in-1 at €49 only if the Tazı Canyon viewpoint genuinely appeals to you, because that viewpoint is the entire difference between the two. If neither the off-road leg nor the canyon matters, the two-activity rafting and zipline day at €25 puts you on the same river and the same zipline for half the money.
Every figure on this page is the adult fare from our own catalogue. Every one of these days includes round-trip hotel transfer, a riverside lunch, helmets, life jackets and paddles, and insurance. What changes between them is the number of activities, the length of the day, and the resort you are collected from.
The combo ladder from Side
- Rafting and zipline — €25 adult, €15 child, 7 hours. The whole rafting course plus one zipline flight. The cheapest way onto the river with something extra attached.
- Rafting and jeep safari — €28 adult, €17 child, 7 hours. Open-top jeeps collect you from the hotel and drive you into the canyon, so the transfer itself becomes the second activity. Roughly 12 kilometres of rafting, then off-road through riverbeds on the way out.
- Rafting and quad safari — €30 adult, €18 child, 7 hours. Rafting plus an ATV run along the riverbanks and through pine forest.
- Rafting and Tazı Canyon — €34 adult, €20 child, 8 hours. Rafting plus the canyon viewpoint. No motorised leg at all — this is the one for people who want scenery rather than engines.
- Rafting and buggy safari — €35 adult, €21 child, 7 hours. Rafting plus a 40-minute buggy run on rugged off-road trails.
- 3-in-1: rafting, zipline and buggy — €38 adult, €23 child, 8 hours.
- 3-in-1: rafting, zipline and quad — €38 adult, €23 child, 8 hours. Identical price and identical day to the buggy version; the only question is whether you would rather sit in a buggy or straddle a quad.
- 4-in-1: rafting, Tazı Canyon, zipline and buggy — €49 adult, €29 child, 8 hours. The full package, and the only one that includes the canyon viewpoint alongside the motorised legs.
What each step up actually buys
Read the ladder as a series of small purchases rather than as good, better, best.
€25 to €38 (+€13): that thirteen euro adds a 40-minute buggy or quad run to a day you were already taking. Bought separately, an off-road safari costs more than €13, so this is the strongest value step on the whole ladder.
€38 to €49 (+€11): that eleven euro adds the Tazı Canyon viewpoint. It does not add a fourth adrenaline activity — it adds a stop, a view and photographs. It is worth it if the canyon is on your list anyway; it is not worth it if you assumed you were buying another ride.
The odd one out: rafting with Tazı Canyon and nothing else is €34. So the canyon costs €9 on top of the €25 rafting-and-zipline day, but €11 on top of the €38 three-activity day. If the canyon is the thing you actually want, the €34 tour gets you there for the least money and gives you a calmer day.
One practical warning: the day is eight hours whether you buy three activities or four. More activities in the same window means less time standing at each one. Guests who want to linger at the viewpoint and take their time on the river are often happier on a two-activity day than on the 4-in-1.
The same day costs more from some resorts
This surprises people, so it is worth stating plainly. The rafting and jeep safari combo is €28 per adult over seven hours when you are collected in Side. The same pairing collected from Kumköy, Evrenseki or Manavgat is listed at €40 per adult over nine hours. Check the fare against the resort you are actually staying in rather than assuming one Side price covers the whole coast.
Elsewhere on the coast: Tazı Canyon and rafting from Kumköy is €38, the same combination from Belek is €44, and rafting with a buggy safari from Alanya is €38.
Who should not book the biggest package
The 4-in-1 is the wrong purchase for several groups, and we would rather say so before you book than after.
- Anyone with back, neck or heart conditions, and pregnant guests. Our own tour notes advise against the rafting leg for these guests, and the buggy leg is rougher again.
- Groups where nobody wants to drive. On the off-road legs, drivers must be 18 or over. Younger guests and anyone who would rather not drive rides along as a passenger — which is fine, but it means you are paying for a seat rather than a steering wheel.
- People who dislike being rushed. Four activities compressed into eight hours is a schedule, not a wander.
- Families with very young children. Infants travel free but the rafting course is not designed around them; the calmer rafting and canyon day suits mixed-age groups better.
Choose by what you actually came for
- The river is the point. Take rafting and zipline at €25 and spend the difference on something else entirely.
- You want engines. Take a 3-in-1 at €38, and pick buggy or quad on personal preference — the price is the same.
- You want photographs. Take rafting and Tazı Canyon at €34, or the 4-in-1 at €49 if you want the engines too.
- You want the jeep experience. Take rafting and jeep safari at €28; the open-top drive into the canyon is genuinely part of the day rather than a shuttle.
All of these can be reserved without paying up front, and cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before departure — so booking the one you want rather than the one you think you should want costs you nothing.
