Tazı Canyon: the view from the top

Tazı Canyon is the afternoon of our combo tour. After the rafting and lunch, a driver-guide takes you up to a natural terrace of rock at the rim of the gorge, with roughly a 400-metre drop below it. You reach it by vehicle, you stand and look, and you photograph it — it is a viewpoint, not a walk. The combo including it starts at €38 per adult; the rafting on its own is €23. The combo carries no child fare, so send us the ages if you are bringing children.

What it is

A rock balcony at the top of the gorge, looking down on the same river system you spent the morning inside. The drop below the edge is roughly 400 metres. It is the photograph people take home from this day.

Seeing the canyon from the water and then from the rim in a single day is a genuinely different pair of impressions, and it is the reason the combo exists at all.

What it is not

It is not a hike. You are driven up and you walk from the vehicle to the viewing area. There is no trail day, no descent into the canyon and no climbing involved.

It is also not a separate tour you can add on the day. It belongs to the combo departure, which uses a different vehicle and a different afternoon, so it is chosen at the moment you book.

Practical notes

  • The edge is unfenced rock in places. Keep children with you and keep your footing.
  • Shoes that grip are worth more here than anywhere else in the day, and you will already have them on from the river.
  • There is nothing to pay at the viewpoint; it is inside the combo price.
  • Wind picks up at the rim — a dry layer from your bag is welcome after the river.

Is it worth the difference?

If the river is the thing you came for, the €23 day gives you all of it and nothing is missing from it. The combo is for people who would rather have one long day than two half ones, and who want the second view.

We would rather you booked the cheaper one and enjoyed it than the dearer one and wondered why.

Questions

Frequently asked

How deep is Tazı Canyon?
The drop below the viewing terrace is roughly 400 metres. We give that as the round figure our own records carry, not as a survey measurement.
Do we walk into the canyon?
No. You are driven up to the rim and you look down from a rock terrace. There is no descent and no trail section.
Can I do Tazı Canyon without the rafting?
Not on this site — it is the afternoon of the combo rafting tour rather than a tour of its own.
Is it suitable for young children?
Children from seven can raft, but the rim is open rock in places, so it asks for a hand held and an eye kept — and the combo has no child fare, so send us their ages before you book and we will give you the number. If your child is uneasy with heights, the rafting day is the better booking.
