Rafting

About this tour

White water on the Dalaman River with one of Marmaris's open-air pioneers: an international guide team with first-aid certification, well-maintained modern equipment and safety as the first rule. The 12 km course from the Demirli bridge to Arpacık village runs through narrow limestone gorges framed by pine forest — natural jacuzzis, shallow pools, rock jumps and crystal-clear streams along the way. Sections range from R1 (easy) to R3 with class 3–4 thresholds, and you spend over 3 hours on the water. Breakfast, lunch, full equipment and instruction included. Minimum age 16; not suitable for guests with physical disabilities.

Booking is free — you pay on the day of the tour, with free cancellation.

Good to know

• The mountain river can be icy; ask for a wetsuit when booking, especially for women and children.
