Waking up to a cloudy sky on your rafting day can be worrying, but there is good news. Rain does not affect rafting in Köprülü Canyon, and the tour runs as planned. Many guests even say a rainy trip feels more exciting and special than a sunny one. This page explains what rafting in the rain is like and how to prepare.

Does Rafting Go Ahead When It Rains?

Yes. Rain has no effect on the rafting tour, so you can raft comfortably on a rainy day. You will get wet on the river anyway, so a shower from above changes very little. The guides, boats and safety briefing are exactly the same as on any other day.

Why It Can Feel Even Better

With rain falling on the canyon, the forest smells fresh, the colours look deeper and the river feels wilder. That is why a rainy rafting day often feels even more exciting and special than a sunny one.

What to Wear and Bring

Wear swimwear or quick-drying clothes and closed shoes that stay on your feet; slippers are not allowed in the boat. Bring a towel and a full set of dry, warm clothes for afterwards, and leave them in storage at the base. The showers and changing cabins let you warm up before lunch.

Photos on a Rainy Day

Rain gives photos a moody, dramatic look, with mist over the forest and darker green water. If you take your own phone, keep it in a sealed waterproof pouch fastened to your wrist or life jacket. HD video and photo packages are also available separately; ask us at the base.

When a Tour Is Moved

Rain alone is not a reason to cancel. If the weather is truly unsuitable for rafting, we move your tour to the next day or another day that works for you, and if we cancel you can have a full refund. In winter, please message us on WhatsApp at least one day ahead. For the full rules, read how to book, and for seasonal differences see rafting by season.
