RAFTING
in TURKISH TURQUOISE COAST



Dalaman River

Deep and green canyons, untouched nature, more than 12 rapids. For the daily tours on R2 the river is grade 3-4. The upper course where double day trips are organised, the river is grade 4-5. The river is quite technical with its narrow passages and drop pool-drop pool structure. For the white-water kayakers and play boaters, it is a heaven. Water is quite warm and clean most of the year.

Knowing how to swim is a must on both tours. There is no need for a previous experience. If you like water do not miss this tour. You have the chance to see the mountain villages while driving up to start point.
