What & Where Is Tazi Canyon?
Tazi Canyon is a famous viewpoint inside Koprulu Canyon National Park in Manavgat, Antalya, with sheer cliffs rising hundreds of meters. Its dramatic gorge earned it the name "Turkey's Grand Canyon," making it a favourite for photographers. It sits close to the Koprucay River where rafting takes place, so both can be enjoyed in a single day.
Rafting + Tazi Canyon Combo
On this tour you first complete the 14 km guided rafting course on the Koprucay River, then travel by 4x4 jeep or buggy to the clifftop Tazi Canyon viewpoint. You enjoy both the adrenaline of the water and the canyon's stunning scenery on the same day.
How to Reach Tazi Canyon
There is no paved road to the Tazi Canyon viewpoint; the summit is reached via an off-road forest track. Jeep safari or buggy is therefore the most practical and fun way up. It is about 30-40 minutes from Manavgat and Side, and around 90 minutes from Antalya city center. Free transfers are included for tour guests.
Best Time to Visit
The rafting season runs from April to October, and the Tazi Canyon view is spectacular throughout. Morning and late-afternoon light is ideal for photography. In summer, a cool breeze refreshes you at the summit.
