Six things worth checking, whoever you book with
- Is a guide in every raft, or one guide for several boats? Ours is one per boat.
- Is the equipment included, or hired at the base? Helmet, life jacket, paddle and wetsuit are in our price.
- Is the hotel transfer both ways in the price, or one way, or extra? Ours is round-trip and included from the Belek strip.
- Is lunch included, and is it a meal or a sandwich? Ours is an open buffet at a riverside restaurant.
- Do you pay now or on the day? We take nothing at booking — you pay in euros on the tour day.
- What happens if you cancel? Free up to 24 hours before, with nothing to refund because nothing was taken.
What "best" does not mean here
It does not mean a different river. The Köprü through Köprülü Canyon is where the rafting from this coast happens, and a page claiming a secret better stretch is selling you the same water with more adjectives.
It does not mean a star rating either. We do not publish one, because nobody has left us a review on this site yet and borrowing a number from somewhere else is how those pages usually get their stars.
Where we are not the best choice
If you want a half day, we are wrong — the drive is part of the arithmetic and this is a full day out.
If somebody in your party should not be in cold moving water, a boat trip is the better booking and our sister site runs those from the same strip.
And if the machine is what you want rather than the river, the quad and buggy days at belekquadsafari.com are the honest answer instead of a combo you half wanted.
What we would ask if we were you
Ask for the total per person including transfer, kit and lunch, rather than the headline number. That is the comparison that survives contact with the base.
And ask who is in the boat. It is the one difference on this river that you feel from the first rapid.
