Following rafting, the tour usually shifts to off-road exploration — either quad biking, also known as ATV riding, or buggy safaris. No prior experience is required, as guides give a quick training session beforehand. These vehicles hold up to two people, making it a fun duo activity. The terrain varies from dusty trails to muddy patches, offering a real sense of adventure.
One review noted, “The buggies are easy to drive, and the views along the rugged mountain trails are incredible.” The tour lasts around 45 minutes, offering plenty of opportunities for photos and laughs as you navigate the landscape. The safari takes you past ancient Roman bridges and other historical landmarks, adding a touch of history to your scenic journey.
Ziplining Over the Canyon
For those craving an extra adrenaline rush, the zipline segment provides a high-flying view of the canyon’s lush landscape. The zipline experience is managed by professional instructors who ensure safety while delivering excitement. You’ll soar over the canyon, enjoying breathtaking aerial views that are often described as memorable.
While not everyone has the time or desire for ziplining, it’s a highlight for thrill-seekers and a fantastic way to see the scenery from above.
Scenic Stops and Local Flavors
Throughout the day, the tour guides make frequent stops at scenic viewpoints, perfect for photos. These stops often feature ancient Roman bridges and aqueducts, adding a historical dimension to your outdoor adventure. After the activities, a delicious meal at a riverside restaurant offers a chance to relax and reflect on your day.
Practical Details and Considerations
The tour is priced at $17 per person, which is remarkably affordable given the range of experiences included. It’s important to understand that additional costs may apply for drinks, photos, videos, or optional activities like the zipline, which aren’t included in the base price.
Transportation is flexible — hotel pickups are available, but the activity itself begins at the designated meeting point, with instructions provided beforehand. The tour duration can vary between 4 to 7 hours, depending on the activities chosen and the flow of the day.
What to Bring and Not to Bring
