Manavgat Rafting & Zipline Tour

The tour begins early in the morning. We’ll pick you up from your hotel in an air-conditioned minibus. From Kemer, you’ll be picked up between 7:20 am, from Belek at 8:30 am, and from Side and Manavgat between 9:30 am and 10:20 am. Our guide will explain the day’s itinerary while you’re in the vehicle, explaining how to raft and what to watch out for. We’ll also provide information about the villages, mountains, and rivers we’ll pass along the way.

We’ll arrive at the rafting center around 11:00 am. After disembarking, our instructors will greet you and provide a brief pre-rafting training session. This includes how to hold a paddle, what to do if you fall into the water, and all safety rules. All information is provided in clear, multilingual formats (English, German, Persian, Russian). After the training, all necessary equipment, including a helmet, life jacket, and paddles, will be distributed. You can also rent waterproof phone cases or rafting shoes. After completing the training and preparation period, you’ll have free time between 11:30 and 12:00. During this time, you can change clothes, store your belongings in lockers, or get accustomed to the water by entering the river.

Our first rafting stage begins at 12:00. This stage is 8 kilometers long and lasts one hour. Each raft consists of a group of 11 people and one professional instructor. Everyone on the raft steers with their own paddle. The instructor guides and supervises you every step of the way. This stage is ideal for getting accustomed to rafting. The water flow is moderate, so even if you don’t know how to swim, you can go rafting. There are breaks between the rafts, where you can briefly swim and enjoy the water. During the first stage, you’ll also be accompanied by the surrounding nature. The high canyon walls, pine trees, and mountains are visible throughout the rafting. At some points, you can pass under the branches of trees leaning over the river, which is very enjoyable.

After the first leg concludes, we head to the riverside restaurant at 1:00 PM. A hot lunch awaits you there. The menu includes grilled chicken or trout. The main course is accompanied by rice or pasta, along with a fresh salad. Guests wishing to have a second course are served free of charge. Drinks are available at an additional cost. The restaurant is located amidst nature, under the trees.

Our second rafting leg begins at 2:00 PM. This route is 6 kilometers long and takes approximately 45 minutes. The second leg is a bit more active than the first. The water flows faster and the waves are larger, making for more fun and excitement. Your instructor will guide you during the rafting. You will steer the raft together. In areas with strong currents, more paddling is required. Nature will accompany you on this leg as well. The canyon walls are closer, and the sound of the water is louder. In some sections, you may see water cascading from the rocks. If you’re lucky, you might even spot goats, birds, or squirrels on the shore.

The second leg of the rafting ends at 14:45 PM. A short minibus ride takes you back to the rafting center. This journey takes only 15 minutes. Upon returning to the facility, you can shower, change clothes, and relax. During this time, photos and videos taken during the rafting are displayed on large screens. You can purchase these images if you wish. Purchase is not required; you can simply watch and reminisce about the day. You can also sit in the cafe area and chat with your friends.

The zipline activity begins at 15:30 PM. Instructors provide you with a zipline harness, helmet, and gloves. After safety precautions are taken, you’ll take turns on the zipline. The zipline is 150 meters long. You slide from one bank of the river to the other from a height. Watching the flowing water and the surrounding forest below is thrilling. The zipline ride takes one minute per person, but with waiting in line, the activity is completed in 15-20 minutes. The activity concludes at 15:50 PM.

After completing all activities, we depart for the return journey by minibus at 16:00 PM. Our journey varies depending on the region. We arrive in Alanya between 17:30 PM  19:00 PM, and in Side and we drop you off at your hotel.
