Below or Above Köprülü Canyon? Rafting or Canyoning & Zipline?

Rafting or canyoning & zipline? Water thrills on the river or flying above the canyon? A family, fun and adrenaline comparison.

Below the canyon with water, or above it in the air? Rafting or Canyoning & Zipline?

Which Is More Fun?

These two are often combined. Zipline offers the fun of flying through the air; rafting delivers all the joy of the water element.

Which Suits Families?

Rafting appeals to a wider age range. Canyoning (jumping off rocks, narrow canyon walks) can be a bit challenging for small children.

Which Has More Adrenaline?

Gliding on a cable from metres up (zipline) and battling river foam (rafting) run neck and neck. Combining both is a full adrenaline bomb.

Summary: Which One for You?

The choice is entirely down to your taste — pure adrenaline with rafting, a different flavour with the other. Both come with Murat Atalay assurance, TÜRSAB-certified and transfer included. Click sideturkey.com for 2026 prices and booking!
