Side Rafting
About Side Rafting
We sell one thing, on one river, and we would rather do that properly than sell everything on this coast.
- Guided white-water rafting on the Köprüçay in Köprülü Canyon National Park, with round-trip hotel transfer from Side and the surrounding resorts. Booked directly with the operator — you pay on the day of the tour.
- Our main hub. Pickup covers Side and the surrounding resorts, including Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Titreyengöl and Sorgun.
- You pay on the day of the tour. No card is taken online and nothing is charged when you book.
- German, English, Russian and Polish, on WhatsApp, before and after you book.
Why book here
The price you see is the price you pay
One figure per person, everything in it listed, and the extras written down before you book instead of after.
Nothing is charged online
You book, we confirm, you pay on the day of the tour. We never ask for card details on this site.
You are talking to the operator
Not a marketplace reselling a slot. Your booking goes straight to the people running the transfer and the river.
We answer in your language
German, English, Russian and Polish, on WhatsApp, before and after you book.
We say no when the answer is no
The health restrictions, the age limits and the extras on this site are the real ones. That is the whole point of them.
Safety
Safety on the Köprüçay
Rafting is an outdoor activity on moving water. It is run with professional supervision and full equipment, and it is not risk-free — anyone who tells you otherwise is selling, not briefing.
A guide in every raft
Not one guide for the group — one in each boat, with you the whole way down. You follow their instructions on the water, and that is the single thing that matters most.
Briefing before the water
Before anyone gets in a raft there is a briefing: how to hold and use the paddle, the commands the guide will call, how to sit, what to do if you go in the water.
A practice session first
You practise the strokes and the commands on calm water before the run begins, so the first rapid is not the first time you have paddled together.
Full equipment, fitted for you
Helmet, life jacket and paddle, fitted before you board. The life jacket is why non-swimmers can join.
Insurance
Accident and activity insurance is included. The activity is not run without it.
The river decides
Water level and conditions change through the season. If the river is not safe on your day, the operator changes the plan or the day — that call belongs to them, not to a schedule.
No one who has been drinking goes on the river. This is not negotiable and the guides enforce it.
