If you’re looking for a day filled with adrenaline, stunning scenery, and a taste of local Turkish hospitality, the Alanya Super Combo might be just what you need. This 10-hour adventure is designed to give you a healthy dose of outdoor fun, from off-road mountain drives to rafting down lively rivers, with options for ziplining, quads, or buggies thrown in. It’s a package that appeals to people craving a mix of thrill and natural beauty, whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or simply want a taste of Turkey’s rugged landscapes.
We particularly love how this tour combines exciting activities with cultural and scenic stops, making it a well-rounded experience. The inclusion of a tasty local lunch adds to the value, giving you a chance to relax and refuel before tackling the next adventure. One thing to keep in mind is the tour’s length — it’s a full day, so it’s best suited for those ready to spend a busy day outdoors.

Getting Started — Pickup and Transportation
The tour begins with a hotel pickup from Alanya, which is convenient for most travelers. Expect to wait about 10 minutes at the hotel’s security gate before your guide arrives, ready to take you on a scenic ride to the mountains. The transportation is described as comfortable, though some reviews mention initial basic transport—likely a simple bus or van—before switching to a more lively Jeep or buggy. The switch to a Jeep seems to be a highlight for many, adding a fun twist and some shared laughter along the way.
The Mountain Drive & Village Stops
Once on the road, you’ll cruise through the Taurus Mountains, with your guide sharing insights about the landscape, local villages, and the area’s history. The off-road safari is a major highlight, offering stunning views and a real feel for rural life in Turkey. Several reviewers mention how charming and authentic these stops are, giving a glimpse into local life beyond the tourist spots. Expect to pause for photo opportunities and possibly explore some small villages or viewpoints.
Lunch — A Taste of Local Flavors
Midway through the day, you’ll stop at a cozy local restaurant. The included buffet lunch is designed to be satisfying, giving you a chance to taste Turkish cuisine and relax before the next set of activities. Many mention the lunch as a good, hearty meal that energizes you for the afternoon’s adventures. It’s a nice break that balances out the adrenaline rush with a taste of Turkish hospitality.
More Great Tours NearbyRafting — The Heart of the Adventure
Next comes the rafting experience — about 2 hours on the river, guided by trained instructors. Expect to get wet and have fun navigating the rapids, which are generally rated at level 4 according to some reviews. Our sources highlight how the guides are highly praised for their professionalism and friendliness, making even nervous first-timers feel confident. One reviewer shared, “Our guides were the best I’ve ever had, especially with a child in the party.” The foam and roar of the river add an exhilarating dimension to your day.
Optional Activities — Ziplining, Quads, or Buggies
After rafting, you can choose to add more thrill with a zipline, quad bikes, or buggies. The zipline is often described as surprising — even those who dislike heights find they enjoy the experience, thanks to good safety measures and the stunning scenery. Quads and buggies are generally quick and muddy, offering fun but somewhat limited time and speed, as some reviewers note. One person mentioned the activity was a bit slow and not as fast as expected, so if you’re a speed freak, manage your expectations.
Return & Reflection
The day winds down with a comfortable drive back to your hotel, giving you time to unwind and reflect on your adventures. Many reviews express satisfaction, especially with the guidance and the mixture of activities, though some mention that the journey to the activity site took longer than expected, and a few felt the activities could be more intense or better paced.
What Makes This Tour Stand Out?
Authentic Turkish landscapes are a clear draw. The mountains, rivers, and villages provide a scenic backdrop that elevates the adventure beyond just activities. The knowledgeable guides are frequently praised for their friendliness and professionalism, making even beginners feel safe and included.
The diversity of activities means you get a range of experiences — from scenic drives and cultural stops to adrenaline-pumping rafting and optional ziplining. The inclusion of a local lunch enhances the experience, offering a taste of regional cuisine in a relaxed setting.
On the flip side, some may find the transportation a bit basic at the start or expect the activities to be more high-speed. Also, the photo package has been a point of some disappointment for a few; the quality and quantity may not meet everyone’s expectations. It’s wise to consider whether you want to pay extra for photos, and whether the provided images will truly capture your fun moments.
Practical Tips for Future Participants
- Bring swimwear and a towel — you’ll need them for rafting and swimming.
- Prepare for a full day — bring water, sunscreen, and comfortable clothes.
- Expect mud during quad or buggy rides — consider wearing clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
- Book activities ahead if you want to customize your experience, especially if ziplining or quad biking is a priority.
- Check the weather forecast — some activities are weather-dependent, especially rafting and ziplining.
- Be aware that rafting isn’t suitable for pregnant women or those with certain health conditions.
- Arrive 10 minutes early for pickup, to avoid missing your slot.
