The Rafting Tour begins with a pick-up in the morning from your hotel and a 2.5-hour drive to the rafting area. Upon arrival, we will take a stroll around the natural village before attending a briefing on rafting. After receiving the necessary equipment, the fun will begin as we embark on a 1.5 to 2-hour rafting adventure on the Melen River, covering a distance of approximately 10 km. We will then enjoy a delicious lunch before heading back to your hotel in Istanbul.

The Melen River rafting course is considered the safest rafting area in Turkey and has been available for rafting since 1999. The course has a difficulty level of 3+1 and is suitable for both amateur and professional athletes. Rafting season begins in February and runs through October. Those who are seeking high-adrenaline should experience it in spring season, and the amateurs should prefer summer season due to the water flow differences.
