1.Ziplining, Rafting, Jeep Tour & Quad Safari w/Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,260 reviews · 5 - 10 hours · from $26Our pick

Review of Antalya’s $26 rafting, zipline, jeep, buggy, and quad adventure, with practical tips on mud, lunch, transport, and value.

“Rafting was a lot of fun and perfectly good for my two children 11 and 8 years old, also added buggy at the last minute and they had family buggy for 4 people which is perfect for us. one thing to note is your eyewear will get very muddy and a bottle of water would be handy to wash the mud off the glasses. Did zipline at the end which was a fun and interesting end to our tour. Last but not least, a big shout out to our guide Monty who made the whole tour so enjoyable and looked after my two young children to ensure they feel safe…”

“My daughter and I had a great time rafting on the Cetina River. We were the only two in our boat (likely due to it being out of season) so it did feel like a private tour. We both did the optional cave part of the activity where we jumped into a cave pool (very cold!) and then made our way through a narrow part of the cave before clambering down over boulders back down to the raft. I also did the cliff jumping - in for a penny and all that!! Our guide was super chatty and took lots of photos. Just be aware that the cost of these…”

She expertly managed our group of amateurs, making sure we were well-informed about the rafting process and even shared interesting facts about the river and the history of rafting in the Lower Yough. It was an unforgettable experience that I'd love to do again!!”
