Natural Canyon Sup and Canoe Experience in Antalya

We booked this experience via Airbnb and had a fantastic time. Orhan was friendly, welcoming and made the whole trip really enjoyable from start to finish.
 What I really liked about this activity is that it feels a little off the beaten path. It is not overly commercialised like some tours, and the location itself feels like a hidden gorge that you would never otherwise discover. Once you get into the canyon, the scenery is stunning - tall cliffs rising up around you with beautiful clear water reflecting the sunlight. It was definitely one of the more memorable things we did in Antalya. The trip starts at what looks like a reservoir, which feels a little unusual at first, but once you paddle into the canyon it quickly becomes something special. A small tip for future visitors: wear water shoes with good grip. In some sections the water becomes shallow and you may need to step out briefly and lift or guide the canoe or SUP over rocks. At the far end of the canyon there is a natural highlight - a small waterfall that almost feels like a natural spa. You can swim in the deeper water there or stand under the waterfall itself, which is surprisingly powerful and really refreshing after paddling. The water is cool and clear, and we even saw fish swimming around. There was a small amount of rubbish in parts of the water, but nothing that would stop me recommending the experience. The natural setting is still beautiful and the overall trip was absolutely worth it. Orhan looked after everyone well and kept the atmosphere relaxed and fun throughout. If you are visiting Antalya and want to do something a little different from the typical tourist activities, I would definitely recommend this trip. Thanks again Orhan for a great activity and for looking after us!

Orhan is a wonderful host and has kindly shared this experience with so many people since discovering the canyon journey himself! He took us to a stunning location and helped us get set up with a shared canoe for myself and my partner, along with another couple who used SUPs (we all got along well too after first meeting!) and had a wonderful time. The sun made the river and nature so beautiful, we stopped to take lots of pictures and videos, and saw lots of wildlife like frogs, turtles, fish, crabs etc. it was a wonderful trip and would definitely do it again! Orhan also hosts different workshops including mosaic lamp decorating, perfume making and turkish coffee ceremony. He was very kind to invite us to a turkish coffee workshop the same afternoon and we learnt so much about the history of coffee, how important it was in ottoman empire and got to try some for ourselves! Orhan made our trip an unforgettable experience, definitely recommend to anyone visiting Antalya!

If you only do one thing while you're in Antalya do this - one of the best experiences I've ever had while travelling. Orhan was fantastic and the views were absolutely beautiful. This was a unique experience in a wonderful, tranquil location and we loved every minute of it!
