Rafting and Zipline from Side: Twelve to Fourteen Kilometres of River, Then a Flight Over the Canyon
The Experience
The second half of the day is optional. If somebody reaches the platform and decides against flying, they wait by the river and watch, and the combo price does not move up or down for anyone. We put that in writing here so the decision is not being made at the edge of a canyon. Before that comes the rafting: 12 to 14 kilometres through the Köprülü Canyon National Park, class II and III rapids broken up by calm water where you can get out and swim. On the way you pass under Roman bridges that have stood for centuries. Pickup from your Side hotel is in the morning and we confirm the exact time with you personally after booking. At base camp a certified river guide gives the briefing and issues helmet, life jacket and paddle. You do not need to be able to swim, because a guide rides in every raft. Lunch by the river follows the rapids, and only then the zipline: 400 metres across the canyon, over the same river. Adults pay €25 and children €15, covering the return transfer, the instructors for both activities, the equipment, the lunch and comprehensive passenger and activity insurance. Rafting shoes are sold or hired at the base, and photos, the video and all drinks, including those at lunch, are extra. Bring water-resistant shoes with a closed heel rather than flip-flops, and dry clothes for the drive back. We settle up on the day.
