About the Side Zipline and Rafting Tour
Can't choose between water and air? The Side zipline and rafting tour gives you both in one day in Köprülü Canyon National Park: paddle the rapids of the Köprüçay River and fly across the gorge on a zipline.
It is our most action-packed day out of Side, yet the rapids are mostly grade 2–3, friendly enough for beginners and families.
Rafting only, or both?
If you only want the river, our rafting tour is slightly simpler and costs a little less. For a calmer day on the water, take the Green Canyon boat tour.
