Rafting tours of Turkey

 

If you're planning a white water rafting vacation in Turkey for you or your family, you picked the one of the best. Once May comes around, and the snow that has so delighted the winter skiers has melted, the river rafting season begins in full swing. Ordinary vacationers are just now finding out what professionals and rafting enthusiasts have known for years: Turkey is the premiere destination for white water rafting trips.

An exciting sport by itself, white water rafting is made even more thrilling by affording you access to some of Turkey's most remote and beautiful landscapes. Raft past farmlands, orchards, villages, castle ruins and more as you see this gorgeous country in a way that no visitor on foot can imagine.

While white water rafting is admittedly an extreme adrenaline sport, there are routes and guides for rafters of all skill levels. Go for a single-day rafting trip or have a full-scale week-long rafting adventure; the choice is yours. The professional rafting guides in Turkey are ready and willing to help you find a rafting program that suits your specific needs.

Turkey has more than enough lush and vibrant rivers to choose from, including the Coruh River in the Kackar Mountains in northeastern Turkey, which is considered by rafting professionals to be one of the top ten rivers for rafting in the world. The Coruh River has a difficulty degree of up to five in some places, though there are spots suitable for rafters looking for a relaxing raft trip of two on the difficulty scale.

The Dalaman River is known for its two to three difficulty rating for the river's upper portion and a one to two degree difficulty rating in it's lower portion. This makes it a great river to accommodate rafters of most skill levels. The difficulty rating of the Koprucay River is similar to the Dalaman though the Koprucay River is known for its rafting year round.

The Melen River, with its convenient location near Istanbul, is perfect for an impromptu rafting trip. Grab a guide and head out to the one hundred and forty minute path for some rafting of a two to three difficulty. This is a perfect rafting experience for the beginning rafter as it requires less commitment than some of the longer rafting courses.

For throughly enjoyable rafting vacations and adventures in Turkey, don't hesitate to contact your travel agent to arrange your visit to naturally beautiful Turkey.
