It was 50 dollars, they take it to the Beshkonak River, it is located near Belek, the impressions are good, it’s fun, though I don’t remember the long drive for 2 or 3 hours (it’s so long because the 2nd part of the serpentine burns out), it’s tolerated normally, they take away a lot of hours at 7-8, and back not earlier than 5 hours. I also advise Demer-Mira-Kekova, an interesting excursion. And pamukkale disappointed, I also advise Cappadocia

Last summer we took rafting in an agency on the street, $ 18 per person. If all of you are adults, insist that they give you a kayak. On a round inflatable boat, it’s generally not interesting! Especially if there are aunts and children in it. They won't let you splash and mess around. The river is not dangerous, children from 5 years old ride. Therefore, only a kayak!

I advise you to take rafting from a guide. We traveled in June from TezTour for 65 USD. per person, and friends for 30 c.u. from a street agency. We were fed, entertained, air-conditioned buses. Friends saved money, but on the way back their bus broke down, they traveled by hitchhiking without air conditioning for 5 hours.
In general, rafting is super, but you need to take kayaks - these are kayaks, and I don’t advise you to buy disks for 50 USD at the end. The disc itself is not bad, but you personally appear there so sporadically that it's not worth the money.

Rafting is worth taking, we paid $ 65 for three. The disc was $ 30, but it's not worth taking. It’s better to take a camera with you in a bag, hide it under your vest, there will be a lot of stops where you can take pictures. Do not listen to guides who say to leave cameras on the bus, we listened and were stupid. It's better to take a kayak. I also recommend Pammukale and Demre-Mira-Kekovo.

The river in Antalya is one for all. If you want a reliable holiday, then you need to take it from the guide(s) in the hotel with insurance. But 2 times cheaper in agencies on the street. The effect is about the same. The cameras were collected and put in a bag, they were taken and photographed at all stops.

Rafting is great. Just don't buy the CD and the photo. It’s better to take a camera with you and give it to the instructor (he has a waterproof tank, take a camera and take pictures at rest stops) So my pictures turned out cool and for free :))) so more and sharper sensations.
Of the other excursions, I really liked Pamukkale, just don't buy a ticket to Cleopatra's pool - a paddling pool with a crowd of people. Better buy on travertines (white terraces with mineral water), go to the museum - entrance 2 lira and visit Hieropolis. Time will fly like one moment, and those who were in the pool then spat and did not have time to see anything.
Another super excursion to Demre-Mira-Kekova + 100% and Alanya City

Rafting is really great!! :)))) /August_2008/
All excursions with hotel guides are exactly 2 times more expensive than outside the hotel. We took a tour from the agency from the street - $ 30 adult, $ 15 - child. Of the minuses - it was stuffy on the bus due to a weak air conditioner, the rest are pluses :)))
As for kayaks / boats - a relative thing. It should be noted that since rafting in Turkey is not sports, but tourist - the main entertainment during the rafting is to spray those passing by, overtake, exchange jokes. A cheerful international company crept up in our boat - on the way we sprayed EVERYONE in the boats passing by and simply flooded ALL the kayaks that got in the way (we had 3 small children in the boat) - I mean, if you are rafting for the first time, I would recommend probably a boat to orient in the situation))
As for cameras - I don’t know - we had a very expensive semi-professional - we didn’t dare to take it into such a bumpy.
We laughed all the way, almost turned over several times, splashed ourselves and were doused, fell overboard and climbed back - I think the camera would not get wet, but after the trip it would not remain intact.

Upon arrival at the "base" we were fed, warmed up - they showed a film with our trip and offered the opportunity to buy it for $ 30 and our photos for $ 6. As for the film, I agree - the film is not bad - but it is about the whole group of 35-40 people, and we took 3 pictures - they are magnificent.
From other excursions:
- Hammam - definitely!
- Pammukale - this year it's not worth going - in travertines (white terraces with mineral water) - no water!!! The meaning of the trip is lost. After a long exhausting trip, coming to a dazzling white mountain that reflects all the sun's rays on you and not being able to freshen up is torture (shared a friend who was there in July). Something happened to the springs that filled these terraces and the Turkish Minister of Tourism seems to be planning to ban excursions to Pammukale.
