Itinerary
Day 1
Hotel pickup — Alanya
Pickup from hotels in the Alanya region. Pickup time varies by hotel; the vehicle will collect guests from main hotel gate; exact pickup time will be confirmed after booking.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect a pickup window between 07:30–08:30 — be ready at the main entrance gate (not the reception) at your confirmed pickup time.
- Wear lightweight layers and bring a small daypack for water, sunscreen and a spare dry shirt.
- If you’re in central Alanya, note that multiple hotel pickups may add short stops before departure.
Köprülü Canyon — Rafting & Zipline
We will be at Köprülü Canyon for rafting and zipline. You will have adrenaline-filled moments. The rafting route is approximately 12 km and includes swimming breaks, animation and a relaxed lunch stop along the river.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a quick-dry swimsuit and a towel; footwear with a strap (water shoes) is recommended if you have them — shoes for rafting are optional.
- Leave valuables on the bus or in a dry bag; cameras that aren’t waterproof can be damaged during rafting.
- Inform the guide in advance about any medical conditions (back problems, pregnancy, heart conditions) — this activity is not recommended for those groups.
Tazı Canyon viewpoint
Tazı Canyon tour is one of our adrenaline-filled tours that offer nature and magnificent views on the slopes and hills of the Taurus mountains. You will have amazing views and photos at Tazı Canyon.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear sturdy shoes for short uneven paths at the viewpoint; the immediate viewpoint area can be stony.
- Bring a wide-angle or smartphone camera — clear views open up quickly, so arrive ready to photograph.
- There is limited shade at the viewpoint; carry water and sunscreen, especially in summer.
Return transfer & hotel drop-off — Alanya
Return drive to Alanya with sequential drops at main hotels. Arrival time depends on the pickup route and drop-off order.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect sequential hotel drop-offs that may extend the return time — please remain available at your hotel's main gate.
- If you need to change your drop-off hotel after booking, notify the guide as early as possible (not guaranteed on the day).
- Carry any items taken on the rafting trip (towel, dry clothes) in a separate bag to make pickup quicker at the vehicle.
