If you’re up for a thrilling day of nature, then this tour is perfect for you. Cruising on mountain roads in Jeeps, you’ll get cool water fights and scenic vistas at unexpected halts. Every second is a chuckle and an adventure.

When you arrive at Tzı Canyon, the scenery will be spectacular. The river, the cliffs, and massive forests you see from a height of a few hundred meters are a wonder of nature. The photos that you will take here will not be a click; they will be unforgettable.

One of the finest experiences of the trip is the Jeep safari. You will be driving along the mountain roads, jumping occasionally, diving sometimes into the water. Wind in your hair, music in your ears, and the enjoyment never stops.

Upon reaching the rafting trail, you will be welcomed by cool waters. This river is perfect and safe for starting rafters. While riding the waves, you will experience fun and a true adventure.

Throughout the day, you will have not only excitement but also the peace and tranquility of nature with you. The soft gurgle of the stream, the scent of the pine forests, and the faraway outline of the Taurus Mountains make it a memorable day. You can even see animals walking along the riverbank at times.

The best moment on this trip is different for each person: catching your breath at the rim of the canyon, getting water-logged with laughter mid-raft, or splashing into water as you boogied in the Jeep. Whatever, you’ll be smiling thinking about today.
