Rafting and jeep safari combo in Antalya: the four real departures from the Side belt

A rafting-and-jeep combo puts the two elements into one day: an open-top jeep collects you at the hotel and takes the off-road way in, you raft approximately 12 to 14 km of white water and calm stretches on the canyon river at Beşkonak, lunch is by the river, and the jeep brings you back. Four such days exist, all from the Side belt: from Side hotels at €28 per adult and €17 per child for approximately 7 hours, and from Evrenseki, Kumköy and Manavgat hotels at €40 per adult and €24 per child for approximately 9 hours. Infants aged 0-3 travel free, children are 4-11, adults 12 and over. There is no combo from Belek, Antalya, Kemer or Alanya.

How the day is built

The order is the same on every departure. A jeep collects you at your hotel in the morning; the exact time is confirmed after booking and varies by hotel. The jeep leg is the off-road part of the day, riverbeds and mountain tracks rather than the main road, with a professional driver at the wheel and guests as passengers. At the river base you are kitted out, the rafting runs approximately 12 to 14 km of rapids and calm stretches, lunch is served by the river, and the jeeps take you back to the hotel.

The shortest of the four is the Side departure at approximately 7 hours; the other three run approximately 9 hours and carry a fuller jeep section. If you stay in Side itself, the Side combo booking page is the form to use.

From Side hotels: the shorter combo

The Side combo is the compact version of the day: a two-way transfer from Side hotels in the jeeps, approximately 12 km of river rafting at Beşkonak, all safety equipment including helmets, paddles and life jackets, professional guiding and lunch. Adults pay €28, children aged 4-11 pay €17, infants aged 0-3 travel free, and the day runs approximately 7 hours.

Not included: extra beverages outside lunch, the professional photo and video service, and personal expenses.

From Evrenseki hotels

The Evrenseki combo departure starts with an early-morning open-top jeep pickup at Evrenseki hotels, then the off-road jeep safari through riverbeds and past the ancient Roman bridge, the full white-water rafting run, a riverside lunch, travel insurance and professional guiding, with the round-trip jeep transfer included. Adults pay €40, children aged 4-11 pay €24, infants aged 0-3 travel free; the day runs approximately 9 hours.

Not included: all beverages, photo and video, the optional zipline or quad safari offered at the base, and personal expenses.

From Kumköy and Manavgat hotels

The Kumköy combo departure is the one whose record spells out the river most fully: 14 km of Grade II-III rapids on the canyon river, an open 4x4 through pine forests and mountain villages, a crossing of the Roman-era Oluk Bridge, a swim stop in the river, a riverside grilled lunch, the full rafting kit and activity insurance, with the round-trip hotel transfer from Kumköy included. Adults pay €40, children aged 4-11 pay €24, infants aged 0-3 travel free; approximately 9 hours.

Not included: drinks, the waterproof photo and video service, the optional zipline or buggy at the base, gratuities and personal expenses.

The Manavgat combo departure covers the hotel transfer both ways, the off-road stretch through the Taurus foothills, roughly 12 km of white water, every piece of safety kit and the meal. Adults pay €40, children aged 4-11 pay €24, infants aged 0-3 travel free; approximately 9 hours.

Not included: all extra beverages, photo and video, the optional zipline, and personal expenses.

Who the combo suits

It suits a guest who wants both elements and has one day to give them. The jeep leg is a real off-road ride, not a coach transfer, so the jeep health note applies: rough tracks are not recommended for pregnant guests or anyone with back or neck problems, and you should tell us before boarding. You will get wet twice, from the river and from the jeeps, so swimwear under your clothes, a towel and a full change of clothes belong in the bag, along with closed shoes you do not mind soaking and a waterproof pouch for your phone.

Guests who would rather have one element with more time in it can weigh the two days separately; the jeep versus rafting comparison does that from the same facts, and it is the page to read if you are not sure the combined day is for you.

We have set out at length when the combo is the better buy and when two separate days are.

Not from Belek, Antalya, Kemer or Alanya

The combined day is sold only from the Side belt: Side, Evrenseki, Kumköy and Manavgat hotels. There is no rafting-and-jeep combo departing from Belek, Antalya city, Kemer or Alanya, and this page will not pretend otherwise; a guest on those belts books the jeep departure of their own belt and, if they want the river as well, a separate rafting day.

For the Belek strip that separate river day exists on a sister site: the rafting day sold from Belek collects at Belek, Kadriye and Boğazkent hotels and runs approximately 8 hours door to door.

A Side-belt guest who only wants the mountains has the jeep-only day from Side, the flagship departure whose lake country and Green Canyon viewpoint the combos leave out.

Pickup, payment and cancellation

Pickup is in the morning at the main entrance gate of your hotel in Side, Evrenseki, Kumköy or Manavgat; the time is confirmed after booking. How the belts and the waiting point work on every departure is on the hotel pickup page.

Holding a place costs nothing, no advance is collected and no card is requested online; the fare is due in euros on the day the tour runs. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and one booking can carry up to 40 guests.
