About this experience

The special thing about our excursion is without a doubt the nature. You are in the middle of the green Taurus Mountains with their peaks and aisles that have been carved out over millions of years by the turquoise glittering mountain rivers.
In addition, there are hardly any excursions where you can drive your off-road vehicle yourself. With us you are free to either let yourself be driven comfortably or to dare to try it yourself.

Detailed itinerary

The Anatolian hinterland and the Taurus Mountains are a paradise for nature lovers. The full-day tour in this beautiful region includes an on-road / off-road driving experience with two or four-wheel drive. Here you can get behind the wheel yourself, the off-road routes are easy enough for beginners. You walk to the Adler Canyon, visit the fascinating 'Green Cappadocia' and the ancient Selge. A rafting trip on the Eurymedon River rounds off the day. This is one of our bestselling expeditions that will reveal to you a Turkey away from the beaches and bazaars.

Adrenaline Pure! Rafting tours are a great way to spend quality time with your family. Do not think that you are too old for such things or that your child is too young for them. A trip to the river is different from other holidays. Where else can you experience the excitement of paddling by feeling the rapids, relaxing on the river's private sandy beaches, playing paddle games and enjoying the delicious local cuisine that is prepared for you? Have fun friends ...

The Tazı Canyon or the Turkish Grand Canyon is a natural wonder and is located 10 km north of the Köprülü Canyon. Tazı Canyon, also known as Adler Canyon, is spectacular with its 400m high walls, the canyon has become increasingly popular on social media in recent years and could only be accessed by ATV due to rough road conditions.
