Quad, Rafting & Zipline: The 3-in-1 Combo from Side
If you want to cram the three best off-road and river thrills of the Antalya coast into a single, dust-and-water-soaked day, this is the one. The 3-in-1 combo bolts a proper quad (ATV) safari onto a white-water rafting run and a canyon zipline flight, all rolled into one big day out from Side. You ride your own single-seat quad through the Taurus foothills, paddle a lively stretch of the Köprülü river, then clip in and soar across a canyon on a steel cable. Three completely different adrenaline hits, one pickup, one guide team looking after you from start to finish.
This is a real, bookable combo — not a build-your-own patchwork. It runs as a ready-made big day, and it's genuinely one of the best-value ways to sample everything the inland canyons have to offer. Best price is always direct, and there's no prepayment: reserve your spots free online and pay the guide on the day.
What The Day Looks Like
A comfortable minibus collects you from your hotel — pickup is in the morning, and you'll be back a few hours later, dusty, damp and grinning. Exact timings depend on where you're staying along the coast, so we won't pretend to give you a precise clock time; your driver will confirm when they'll be at your door.
From the coast it's a scenic drive of around an hour up into the greener, cooler foothills where the canyons cut through the Taurus mountains. That's where the day unfolds — usually the quad and zipline happen at the off-road base and canyon, with the rafting on the Köprülü (Koprucay) river close by. The exact running order can shift depending on river levels and the group, but you'll do all three across the day with plenty of breaks in between.
The Quad (ATV) Safari
You get your own single-seat quad — no sharing, no back seat, just you and the throttle. Before anyone moves, there's a full safety briefing and a practice lap on flat ground so you can get a feel for the brakes, the throttle and the steering. Once everyone's comfortable, a lead guide sets the pace out front and a sweep guide brings up the rear, so nobody gets left behind and the pace stays sensible.
The trails are proper off-road: dusty forest tracks, rutted farm lanes, mud patches and shallow water crossings that will splatter you head to toe. It's raw, rattly, brilliant fun, and it typically ends with the famous water fight — buckets, hoses and general soaking chaos. Expect to be filthy. That's the whole point.
The Rafting
The white-water leg runs on the Köprülü river through Köprülü Canyon, a grade II–III stretch that's exciting without being terrifying. You'll be kitted out with a helmet and life jacket, briefed by your raft guide, then it's paddles in the water for a run through splashy rapids and calmer green pools. Families and first-timers handle this section well — the guide steers, you paddle, and everyone gets wet.
The Zipline
The zipline sends you flying across the canyon on a steel cable, harnessed up and clipped to the line by the crew. It's a short, sharp rush with a big-view payoff — the canyon dropping away beneath your boots. All the gear and the clipping-in is handled by trained staff; your only job is to lift your feet and enjoy the ride.
Who It Suits — Including Total Beginners
You do not need any previous quad, rafting or zipline experience. This is real off-road ground, so the guides make the call after the briefing: handle the controls safely and you drive, otherwise you cover the same trail as a passenger for the same price. The whole day is built for complete beginners — the briefings, the practice lap, the guide-led pace and the crew handling all the safety kit mean you can rock up with zero experience and still tackle all three.
It's ideal for couples, groups of friends and active families chasing a full-throttle day out. Because the quads are single-seat and self-driven, there are minimum age and height requirements for driving your own machine — smaller children can often ride along in a raft and watch the rest, so it's worth asking us about your group when you book so we can set expectations honestly. If you'd rather do just two of the three, take a look at our quad & rafting combo or the quad & zipline combo instead.
What To Wear & Bring
The golden rule: wear things you don't mind ruining. You will get muddy and soaked — that's guaranteed on all three activities.
- Old clothes and trainers that can take mud and water — not your holiday whites.
- A full change of dry clothes for the ride home. You'll want them.
- A towel and, if you like, flip-flops for after.
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap for the drier stretches.
- Water and a snack, though there's usually somewhere to grab refreshments.
- A waterproof pouch or action camera if you want photos — leave anything you can't afford to soak on the bus.
Helmets and goggles are provided for the quad, and helmets plus life jackets for the rafting, so you don't need to bring any of your own safety gear.
Free Hotel Pickup
Return hotel pickup and drop-off is included free from Side and the surrounding coastal resorts. You don't need to arrange a taxi or find the meeting point yourself — the minibus comes to you and brings you back. Just tell us your hotel when you book and we'll sort the logistics.
Safety & Gear
Every activity in the combo starts with a briefing, and the quad leg adds a practice lap so you're confident before you hit the trail. Out on the tracks you're bracketed by a lead guide and a sweep guide. On the river a professional raft guide runs your boat, and the zipline is operated entirely by trained staff who harness and clip you in. Helmets, goggles and life jackets are all supplied. None of this needs experience — it needs a willingness to get dirty and follow the crew.
Booking — Pay On The Day
Booking is refreshingly simple. Reserve your places online for free, with no prepayment and no card charge up front. You pay the guide in cash on the day, once you're there and ready to go. Booking direct with us means the best price — you're not paying a middleman's mark-up. The live price and current availability are shown when you reserve, so what you see is what you'll pay.
Quick FAQ
Do I need experience or a licence?
No experience is needed for any of the three activities. What settles it is ability rather than any document: ride confidently and the machine is yours, or sit in the passenger seat and see exactly the same trail for exactly the same money. Beginners are the norm.
Will I get wet and dirty?
Absolutely, on all three. Wear old clothes and bring a dry change — there's mud, river water and usually a water fight to finish.
How long is the day?
It's a full big day out from Side — morning pickup, back a few hours later. Exact timing depends on your hotel and river conditions.
