REVIEW · ANTALYA PROVINCE
From Side City : Fully Combo Zipline, Quad Safari, Rafting
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by APPRECIATE TRAVELS & ROMA RAFTING · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Three adrenaline hits in one Antalya day. A zipline, quad safari, and rafting combo around Köprülü Canyon keeps the morning moving and the afternoon wet, with hotel pickup and an included riverside lunch. I especially like the value for what you get at about $24 per person, and I also like how the day strings together different terrain instead of repeating the same thrill in a loop. One thing to keep in mind: the schedule can feel pause-heavy, and the quality of lunch and ride time may vary by day and group pace.
If you want a hands-on day in nature, this tour is built for you. You’ll start at Roma Rafting, get safety gear and guidance, and then bounce from treetops to the Taurus Mountains to the Köprüçay River. The good news is the core activities are guided and gear-supported; the caution is to pack for wet moments and a long day, even if the stated 8–10 hours sometimes runs shorter or longer.

Key points at a glance
- Zipline time is brief but scenic: You fly over canyon scenery, with reports of limited re-runs.
- Quad safari follows the rhythm of your group: Expect stops for pacing and instructions.
- Rafting is the heart of the day: Cold water, guided paddling, and a real feel of the river.
- Lunch is included, but quality may not be consistent: A couple of reviews mention cold or incomplete meals.
- Transfers and gear are handled for you: Helmet, paddles, and life jackets come included.
Where This Adventure Starts: Roma Rafting by Köprülü Canyon

Most people doing this day are aiming for Köprülü Canyon National Park, and the operation is anchored at Roma Rafting. That matters because it keeps the logistics simple: you meet at one place, you get suited up there, and you move as a group through the day’s activities.
The tour runs from roughly 8–10 hours with hotel pickup and drop-off in a van. In practice, your day depends on the schedule rhythm and how the group flows between stops. One lower-rated experience mentioned the whole day feeling much shorter than what was shown in the app, while other parts of the day were described as paused and staged. So treat the timing as a useful estimate, not a promise of minute-for-minute speed.
If you’re staying in Side or nearby, the pickup is a big part of the convenience. One review specifically noted pickup via WhatsApp and being on time after the group was collected. That’s the kind of detail that tells me this isn’t a “show up whenever” setup. It’s organized, but still group-based.
The Morning Flow: Pickup, Gear, and a Quick Safety Pitch

This combo day follows a standard pattern: hotel pickup, transfer to the starting point, then gear and instructions before you jump into action. You’ll be provided helmets, paddles, and life jackets, which is a real cost and hassle saver. You’ll also get guided assistance throughout the activities.
Language coverage is listed as Turkish and English. The tour also states they try to assign a language-speaking staff member, but it may not always be feasible. In real terms, that means you should expect clear instructions either way, but if you have strong language needs, it’s worth booking with the assumption that English support is the fallback rather than the guarantee.
Before you go, do the practical prep:
- No metal accessories (earrings, necklaces, etc.) during the activities.
- Bring a towel and comfortable clothes you don’t mind changing out of.
- Non-slip footwear is recommended. Specialized rafting shoes can be purchased at the supplier shop if you want better traction.
One extra note from the rules: this activity isn’t permitted for pregnant women, and wheelchair access isn’t available. Pets aren’t allowed, either.
Zipline Over the Canyon: Fast Views, Limited Re-Runs

The zipline comes first. The idea is to get you above the scenery quickly—views over the canyon and pine-covered areas—before the day turns physical in a different way.
What I like about starting with ziplining is mental. Your body warms up, you get the safety routine down early, and you’re not already tired from hauling your gear around. It also gives you a change of pace before the quad portion.
That said, one review raised a specific concern: the zipline wasn’t described as one continuous line, and there was no chance to go again. Another person didn’t call the zipline a bad experience, but the two lower ratings suggest the zipline segment can be more controlled and time-limited than some people expect.
So if your priority is maximum airtime and repeated rides, calibrate your expectations. If your priority is a first taste of Köprülü Canyon from above, this does the job.
Quad Safari in the Taurus Mountains: Freedom With Group Control

After the zipline, you’ll head into the quad safari phase—described as riding through the Taurus Mountains. This is where the day becomes more hands-on. You’ll be on a quad/quad buggy and following a route that’s guided, with stops to regroup and for instruction.
A common theme from reviews is that quad time can involve frequent halts. One review said the quad safari involved constant stopping and a couple of breaks, which can feel repetitive if you expected uninterrupted riding.
I actually think that group pacing is part safety, part fairness. When you’re riding together on uneven terrain, letting the slowest rider catch up isn’t optional. The tradeoff is that you get more “organized tour riding” than “rally-style” continuous speed.
If you go into it expecting a guided experience—rather than solo freedom—you’ll likely enjoy it more. And if you’re traveling with mixed skill levels, the stop-and-start approach can reduce the stress for first-timers.
The Historic Roma Bridge Moment: A Nice Breather Between Thrills
The tour highlights mention crossing the Roma Bridge, with ancient Roman architecture. Even if you only see it briefly on the move, this is one of those small adds that makes the day feel more than a pure adrenaline factory.
The timing likely works like this: after the zipline and quad, you’re traveling and transitioning toward lunch and then rafting. Stops like the bridge give you a chance to reset your bearings, take a quick look around, and break the “only moving, no scenery” pattern.
It’s not a full sightseeing tour of Antalya’s old sites, but it adds a cultural bookmark to the day. If you’re doing a packed trip and still want at least one moment of history, this is a useful inclusion.
Riverside Lunch: Included, Plan for Variation
Lunch is included, and it’s described as a riverside meal surrounded by nature. That’s a good setup after the quad portion because you’ll be able to sit, dry off a bit, and mentally prepare for rafting.
Now the honest bit: one lower review said the lunch was cold and that not everything listed was available for all participants. Another review didn’t mention lunch problems, so I think quality can vary with crowd size or timing.
So how should you handle this as a practical traveler?
- Treat lunch as fuel, not a highlight meal.
- If you’re picky about food temperature or portions, consider bringing a snack you can eat before the day’s main meal.
- If you have dietary needs, the tour data doesn’t specify special options, so message the provider before you go and confirm what’s possible.
Rafting the Köprüçay River: Cold Water, Real Paddling

Rafting is the core of the combo, and the river is the Köprüçay River. This is where you’ll feel the physical side of the day—paddling, teamwork, and the reflex that comes from being on moving water.
One lower-rated review said the rafting ended very quickly (after about 5 minutes) due to an early pause, and it also complained about parts of the river-walking not being announced. Even if you ignore the criticism, the lesson is clear: your river time depends on how the operator manages breaks and logistics.
Another important detail: the tour highlights mention dipping in ice-cold river water. You should assume you’ll get wet. Even if you’re wearing proper gear, cold water is cold water, and that first hit can be a shock if you expected just a “sit and float” ride.
What to bring for rafting comfort
- Towel for after
- Personal medication if you need it
- Consider wearing non-metal accessories only (ideally none)
- Specialized rafting shoes aren’t included, but you can often buy them onsite at the supplier’s shop
If you hate the idea of water-walking during breaks, tell your guide when you check in. You can’t change the river, but you can at least get clarity on what the breaks will look like.
Photos and Video: Optional, Not Included
This tour gives you an option to purchase photos and videos after the rafting/activities. That’s not unusual for adventure operators, but it matters for budgeting. You should assume you’ll be paying extra if you want keepsakes, because photography and video services are explicitly not included.
If you’re the type who likes to leave with proof of the day, plan a small budget for this. If you’re the type who wants low cost, skip it and take your own phone photos when allowed.
What’s Included vs. What You May Need to Pay For

For about $24 per person, the included parts are the big win:
- Pick up and drop off
- Transfers
- Lunch
- Helmet, paddles, life jacket
- Guided assistance throughout
What’s not included:
- Alcohol and soft drinks
- Snacks or refreshments during the tour
- Photography/video fees
- Extra equipment like neoprene suits and rafting shoes
So if you’re going in cooler weather or you run cold easily, you’ll want to think ahead. Neoprene suits and rafting shoes can be added, but they cost extra. Even if you don’t add them, bring a towel and plan to change out of wet clothes quickly after.
Who This Combo Tour Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)
This is a strong match for you if:
- You want three different activities in one day: zipline, quad safari, and rafting.
- You value convenient hotel transfers more than long, slow sightseeing.
- You like structured adventure days where guidance and gear are provided.
You might want to look elsewhere if:
- You’re very sensitive about meal quality or eating a cold lunch.
- You need long continuous ride time and hate frequent stops.
- You’re expecting more flexible re-runs on the zipline segment.
And if you’re traveling with kids, check the age rule first. Children under 3 aren’t allowed, and children 3+ need parental supervision. Pregnant travelers can’t join.
My Booking Advice: Get Value, Then Manage Your Expectations
Here’s the key decision point: this is not a luxury rafting day. It’s a low-cost combo with real thrills, guided gear, and pickup. That combination is hard to beat, which is why the higher ratings focus on price-to-fun.
But the mixed reviews also tell you what to watch:
- Lunch quality can vary.
- Ride time and pauses can affect how “full” each activity feels.
- Some activities may have strict limits on repeat runs or how breaks are handled.
So if you book, do it with the right mindset:
- Pack for wet and cold moments.
- Don’t assume every moment will be adrenaline nonstop.
- Bring a small buffer (snack money or a personal snack) in case food timing isn’t what you hoped.
