Rafting Age Limit: Who Can and Can't Go Rafting

The rafting age limit on our Köprülü Canyon trips is 3 years, which makes this one of the most family-friendly adventures in Antalya. There is no strict upper age either. What matters more than age is your health on the day and your willingness to follow the guide.

Minimum Age for Rafting and Child Prices

Children aged 3 and over can take part, sitting in the same raft as their parents. The guide adapts the pace to the youngest guest on board. Prices follow the same age bands on every tour.

After heavy rain the river can rise, and the guides decide on the day whether young children can go on the water. We always confirm the current rule when you book.

Who Should Not Go Rafting?

Rafting is gentle on this river, yet it is still an active water sport. For your own safety, please skip it in the following cases:

• Pregnancy, at any stage
• Serious heart, back or breathing problems, or a recent operation
• Epilepsy or other conditions that can cause sudden loss of control
• Anyone under the influence of alcohol

If you are unsure, ask your doctor before booking and tell us about any condition in advance.

Do You Need to Swim or Be Fit?

No. Apart from the rafting age limit, there is no fitness test and no swimming requirement. The life jacket keeps you afloat, and the guide steers the raft and calls every paddle stroke. Older guests and complete beginners join us every day.

Alternatives If Rafting Is Not for You

Travelling with a baby or a guest who cannot raft? A Green Canyon boat trip or one of our Antalya boat tours suits all ages. Families with children can read our tips on rafting with kids, and full details are on the rafting tour page.
