Alanya Adrenaline Combo: Buggy Safari & White Water Rafting

If you’re craving an adrenaline-packed day in Turkey’s Antalya Province, the Alanya Adrenaline Combo offers just that. This tour combines two of the most exciting outdoor activities in the region—buggy safaris and white water rafting—all set against the backdrop of the breathtaking Köprülü Canyon National Park. From the moment we started reading reviews, it’s clear this experience provides a good balance of adventure, natural beauty, and value, making it a popular choice for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.

What really drew us in are the stunning canyon views during the activities, the affordable price point of $47 per person, and the variety of challenges and fun packed into one day. On the flip side, some might find the buggy ride somewhat shorter or less mountainous than expected, so if you’re expecting a rugged mountain trek, this might not fully meet that anticipation. Still, this tour is well-suited for those looking for an active, memorable day without breaking the bank, especially if you’re traveling in a group or with friends.

A Detailed Look at the Tour: What You Can Expect

Convenient Pickup and Transportation

The day begins with hotel pickup, which is a big plus—no need to worry about organizing transport yourself. The transfer is in an air-conditioned bus, ensuring comfort on the ride to Koprulu Canyon National Park. This part of the experience is straightforward, with the group usually kept to a manageable size, allowing for more personal interaction with guides.

Buggy Safari: Quick but Fun

Your first activity is the buggy cross riding, which lasts about 30-40 minutes. Guides give a safety briefing beforehand, which is essential for a fun and safe ride. The route takes you along the Köprüçay River, offering glimpses of the lush canyon scenery.

As one reviewer mentioned, “The buggy riding was pretty cool,” though they also noted they expected a mountain tour but got a more accessible terrain with some parcours. This suggests that while the ride is exciting, it might be more of an off-road adventure than a steep, mountain-crossing experience. Still, the views of the river and surrounding greenery make it worthwhile.

White Water Rafting: Adrenaline and Nature Combined

After the buggy ride, you’ll get a quick safety briefing before hopping onto a raft to tackle the Koprulu River’s rapids. The river provides a fun, exhilarating experience with some rapids that require teamwork and steady paddling.

What makes this part particularly appealing is the chance to cool off with a swim in the river during calmer stretches, something many reviewers appreciated. The water can be quite cold, so a swimsuit and towel are recommended. One guest shared, “The rafting was very enjoyable, and we got to enjoy the nature along the way,” emphasizing how the activity combines thrill with natural beauty.
