Long waiting and poorly organised
Purchased this excursion from viator thinking it was a rafting only excursion, then to be told on arrival that you have to buy optional activities or you'll be waiting for along time until all have finished 😡. We brought an extra 2 which was jeep safari and zip line at a total of 25 euro pp. To start the day we were told to be early at 930 for pickup, minibus arrived at 10am and was in a state of disrepair, noisy Aircon , interior falling apart and no drink options. The excursions themselves were good but organisation was poor all day, we were a group of 5 and they had to ask is what we ordered 6 times in total and still couldn't work it out. Afee minutes after we paid the guy asked us if we'd given him a 40 instead of 60 as he was short 😕. We hired a jet suit but I wouldn't bother as it stunk and had not been cleaned as you would expect ( 5 euro each) Food was good - 1x chicken skewer , cous cous, salad and bread. ( No vegetarian option to skewer). All in all our day was spoilt by long waiting times , bad transportation, really poor communications and expensive prices. It's almost like they try to keep you for as long as possible so you spend more, also the photos and videos were available for 50 euros as we were a family of 5, every other family was charged 25 euro. I would avoid this excursion at all costs and wish I'd knew these issues before booking

We’re sorry that the organization, waiting times, transportation, communication, and additional costs affected your experience.

Good day out on the water.
Great day out with our 14 year old son. Hard work being at the front right but a good laugh. Captain Mehmet was good fun and had a good laugh. Lunch was good but drinks expensive but you are up in the mountains so hey ho... Buy water shoes and waterproof phone cover before you go as they are €10 each when there.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to give us your pleasant feedback. Hope to see you again in the near future. Warm Regards ; Tourmania Team

Great activity but weird ending
The activity was very nice and the food was very yummy. But while we were in our bus, some of us hat bad stomach cramps and some did throw up at the hotel. I don't know if there was something inside the food or if it was the warm weather.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you had such an experience and we could not meet your 5-star mark. Next time we will do our best to make you happy by improving our services even more.

Amazing rafting trip
We really enjoyed our time doing rafting. The communication with the service provider was great. We were picked up from our hotel. The Mega team are really well organised, very polite and go the extra mile to keep you comfortable. We also tried the zip line. Even if you don’t book it in advance you can add it after. You can pay by card also. Our captain of the boat was Akram. What an awesome guy! He was really funny and offered great service. Also I told him I don’t know how to swim so he was very understanding and didn’t insist when I said I don’t want to go in the water. The trip felt safe and definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a bit of fun and adventure. I was reading a lot of the reviews that said you have to wait around. This wasn’t true for our trip. Everything was well organised.
Response from the operator: We are grateful that you took the time to leave us a review. Your feedback helps us to improve service for everyone.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.
How much does Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side cost?
+
Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Side is not rushed.
Is Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Side can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Side and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Family Rafting Trip at Köprülü Canyon Incl. Lunch from Side start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Side within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Side?
+
On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Side?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Side?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
