The tour includes 7 nights of hotel accommodation, lunches on activity days, safety training for each sport, and all airport and activity transfers.

Day 1

Arrival and Orientation

Arrive at the airport and meet the rest of your tour group. After we transfer to the hotel, there’ll be a short meet-and-greet and informational session. There you’ll receive your itinerary for the week and have the chance to get to know your fellow adventurers. The rest of the night will be free for socializing, exploring and resting for the exciting week ahead.

Day 2

Rafting the Köprüçay River

After breakfast, we’ll load into our vans at 9:00 a.m. for a 1.5-hour drive through the picturesque Taurus Mountains on our way to the rafting base camp. Our river guides will provide safety training and hand out the necessary equipment before we set sail. Over the course of the next three hours, we’ll raft through narrow valleys and cascades, stopping to photograph the stunning canyons and mountain scenery. After refueling with a relaxing lunch on the banks of the river, we’ll head back to the hotel.

Day 3

Riding the Aerial Cableway

After a scenic 1.5-hour drive from the hotel, we’ll arrive at the spectacular Tahtali Mountain Aerial Cableway. From Station 1, which sits at 726 meters above sea level, we’ll ride the cable car up to Station 2. The cable car is encased in glass, allowing panoramic views of the mountains and the ocean below. The journey will take us up to 2365 meters above sea level and over 4350 meters in distance. At Station 2, we’ll eat lunch while taking in the sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea. A return journey by cable car to Station 1 will allow everyone to take more photographs. We’ll then drive back to the hotel in the early afternoon.

Day 4

Trekking in the Taurus Mountains

After a filling breakfast, we’ll meet our trekking guide near the trail in the Taurus Mountains. Our route starts in Ulupnar Village and winds its way through the towering peaks. We’ll visit historic sites, cross raging rivers and experience the Turkish mountain culture. Along the way, rest stops will give you the chance to relax and take in the mountain views. The 3.5-hour trek will end at a restaurant, where we’ll have lunch before returning to the hotel.

Day 5

Free Day

After several days of excitement and adventure, you’ll now have the opportunity to rest and relax in the city. For the more energetic tour members, we can arrange local sightseeing trips, boat trips or an aqua park excursion.

Day 6

Mountain Biking in the Taurus Mountains

Well-rested from our free day, we’ll take a 1.5-hour drive to Ovack Village for the start of our biking adventure. Our biking guides will give a short safety session and fit each person with professional-grade bicycles and equipment. Then we'll set off on the best biking trails in the Taurus Mountains for a thrilling combination of scenery and traditional local culture. The ride will cover 22 km and take about 2.5 hours, with plenty of breaks for rest and photography. After lunch, we’ll drive back to the hotel.

Day 7

Paragliding over the Mediterranean

After a 1.5-hour drive to a seaside meeting point, we’ll transfer to our Jeep in groups of three for the exciting 12 km drive to the take-off point. In the hills high above the water, each person will partner with a professional paragliding guide for an exhilarating flight back to the meeting point. Strapped to the parachute, you’ll float above the hills and watch the coastline spread out beneath your feet. After lunch, we’ll return to the hotel.

Day 8
