Trip Itinerary
Day 1
We pick you up in the morning for a drive down to the Zamanti River. On the riverside we take some time to introduce our team and for a conversation about the coming few days. In a short safety talk we get comfortable with the gear and river behavior, then get on the water to raft between the steep walls of the gorgeous blue canyon.
After a delicious lunch served on the riverbank we take our time to explore the area, relax in our camp and enjoy a night around the fire.
Day 2
Start the day with a hike to see the special rainbow at Kapuzbasi waterfall than back to the river for our daily adrenalin shot. Negotiating some 20 km of exciting rapids and pristine wilderness we spend our day on the river between old chrome mines, exploring deserted caves and visiting remote villages. After lunch on the riverbank we approach one of the most amazing sights of all rivers - Alice in Wonderland. In the afternoon we arrive at our Kup-köy camp to spend the night in a camp with a view.
Day 3
Wake up to the smell of a freshly brewed coffee simmering on the open fire and the delicious outdoor breakfast that naturally follows. A couple of hours later we find ourselves rafting through a mysterious tunnel and boiling rapids on our way to explore the amazing hidden canyon. After dealing with some excellent whitewater we set our camp on a wonderful sandy beach and spend the afternoon swimming, reading, and playing around.
Day 4
This day we experience some of the best whitewater the Zamanti has to offer. After meeting the Seyhan river water is added, and "big volume" type rafting carries us all the way to the end of the day and to our "Lucky Bridge Camp".
Day 5
Soon after breakfast on the riverbank we enter the Wishing Well Gorge in which wishes come true through some white foamy rapids. After a couple of hours of white fun the river evens out and soon we come out of the gorge for a lazy afternoon cruise down the Egener stretch.
At the village of Egener, we finish a wonderful trip with a wonderful lunch and a shuttle to Adana. (a shuttle to Cappadocia or Kayseri is also available with previous arrangement).

The Rivers of choice .
Aksu River
Aksu river rafting course, taking place in the 35th kilometer of Antalya- Isparta highway has a difficulty level of 1. This course which we offer companies as an alternative of combined tours in our High Rope Course Park is ideal for families and student groups as well. The course, which can also be named as panoramic rafting, provides a unique taste of view while you are passing through the high walls and interesting rock formations.
Köprüçay River
Arising from the Taurus and passing through the canyons which are natural beauties, Köprüçay falls into the Meditterrenean from the south of Serik. Köprüçay river, feeding on the subterranean waters of the high-walled canyons standing on both sides, is one of the most beautiful natural recreation areas of Turkey. Besides that, Selge city, possessing a rich archeological heritage such as historical castles, aquaducts, bridges and roads from the Roman era, is also entitled as the most popular rafting course of Turkey. It hosts thousands of local and foreign tourists as it is close to the touristic sites like Alanya, Side, Belek and Kemer as well. The tour taking place between the historical Oluk bridge and Karabük bridge has the difficulty level of about 2-3. It also provides the visitors with breathtaking natural views and the opportunity to watch the Taurus Mountains as it flows through the National Park.
Alara River
Passing through the border of Alanya, Alara river has the difficulty level of about 3-4. Starting from the down part of Gündoğmuş village, the course is about 25 kilometer long and ends in the outskirts of Alarhan, the castle that dates back to the Seljukians. The river, flowing ebulliently especially in the spring, provides technical passages which require a high maneuver ability due to the difficulties caused by the irregular rock blocks. With this special feature, the river sustains adrenalin to the participants.
