For travelers seeking a lively change from relaxing on the beach, the Antalya 2-in-1 Tour offers a perfect blend of outdoor excitement and scenic beauty.

The guides are praised for their knowledge and friendliness, making the journey both safe and enjoyable. A second highlight is the inclusion of a buffet lunch, which keeps energy levels high after some splashy fun.

What to Expect from the Tour

Starting the Day: Convenient Pickup and Introduction
The tour begins early at 8:00 am, with hotel pickups arranged by the provider, Payless. That means you can relax knowing transportation is handled, saving you the hassle of finding your own way. The journey toward the Koprucay River in the Taurus Mountains takes about an hour or so, giving you a chance to enjoy the scenic drive. The group size is capped at 99 travelers, which helps keep the experience intimate enough to stay personal but lively.
Rafting on the Koprucay River: Splashing and Scenic Views
Once at the river, you’ll receive all necessary equipment—helmet, life jacket, paddles—and a quick safety briefing from your professional guide. Rafting here is described as thrilling but accessible, meaning no prior experience is needed. We imagine this would appeal most to families with children over a certain age, groups of friends, or solo travelers looking for a fun challenge.
Travelers have raved about the spectacular scenery along the riverbanks, with one reviewer noting, “We loved the way the guides took care of us, and the views were truly breathtaking.” Expect a refreshing swim at some point—an ideal way to cool off after paddling through some gentle rapids.
Lunch Break: Tasty & Inclusive
After the rafting adventure, a buffet lunch is provided, with reviews praising the quality of the food. This is a valuable feature, especially considering the full-day nature of the tour. It gives everyone a moment to relax, recharge, and share stories of their splashy exploits. The included meal ensures you’re not just full of adrenaline but also well-fed for the next part of the day.

The quad biking experience is designed for all skill levels—no prior off-road experience necessary—making it accessible for beginners and seasoned riders alike. The guide will assist you in navigating the terrain, ensuring safety without sacrificing the fun.
Highlights and Authentic Encounters
