What the EUR 40 actually covers
Evrenseki is not a pickup extension bolted onto a Side tour. It is a departure point in its own right, with its own nine-hour programme and its own price, and everything that makes the day work is already inside that price rather than waiting for you at the river with a card machine.
There is no deposit and no card form when you book the Evrenseki jeep and rafting combo: you hold the date for nothing, hand over euros on the day of the tour, and cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. That matters on a combo day — if the family changes its mind on the beach the evening before, you are not out of pocket.

How the morning works from an Evrenseki hotel
This is an early start. The jeep comes to your Evrenseki hotel in the morning, open-top, and the nine hours are counted from there — out early, off-road first, rafting and lunch through the middle of the day, back to the hotel in the afternoon. If your hotel sits inland rather than on the Evrenseki strip, the identical day leaving from Manavgat collects you there instead, on the same nine-hour clock.
We do not publish a fixed pickup clock, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. Times differ hotel by hotel along the strip and are confirmed once your booking is in, not guessed on a web page. What you can plan around is the shape of the day rather than the minute you leave reception.
Because the jeep is open-top, you get sun, wind and some dust on the unsealed sections. That is the character of the vehicle, not a fault of the road — pack for it the way you would pack for a beach day with a boat trip attached.
The off-road half: riverbeds and the Roman bridge
The jeep section leaves the asphalt and works through riverbeds, with a stop at the Ancient Roman Bridge. On a booking page that line reads like a scenic transfer to the rafting base, and it is not: as the background guide to these tours explains, this half of the day is a genuine off-road drive in its own right.
Off-road tracks are bumpy by their nature. If anyone in your group has back or neck trouble, tell us before you book rather than on the morning, and we will talk you through whether the day is a sensible choice. That is a conversation worth having in advance on a nine-hour programme that also puts you in a raft.
The rafting half in Köprülü Canyon
The second half of the day is full white-water rafting in Köprülü Canyon — the real thing, not a drifting photo session tacked onto a jeep tour. All the rafting safety equipment is included, and professional guiding runs through the whole programme.
Assume you will get wet, because you will. Leave anything you would hate to lose in the hotel safe, and remember that the photo and video service the team shoots on the water is a paid extra rather than part of the EUR 40. Guests who want their own footage tend to bring a strap or a waterproof pouch for a phone.
Lunch, drinks and everything that is not in the price
Lunch by the river is included. Drinks are not — no beverages at all are covered, including at the lunch stop, so bring some cash for the day. The optional zipline and quad safari sold at the rafting base are separate purchases too, and there is no obligation to take either.
This is the honest reading of the ticket: the day itself is paid for, the extras are yours to choose. Nobody is going to be embarrassed at the table for ordering water and nothing else.
- All beverages
- Photo and video service
- Optional zipline or quad safari
- Personal expenses
Prices, children and who this day suits
Adults pay EUR 40, children EUR 24 and infants go free. That is the top of our range along this stretch of coast, so it is worth seeing how EUR 40 compares with the other jeep days before you decide. If you are travelling with children, message us with their ages before you book so we can confirm which rate applies to each of them, and we would rather sort that out in a two-minute chat than at the riverside.
Guiding runs in English, German and Russian, as well as Turkish. The day tends to suit couples, groups of friends and families with older children who would rather have one big day out of their week than two half-days that each eat a morning.
If you only want the jeep, without the rafting
Jeep safari departures from Evrenseki are confirmed by the operator, alongside Side, Kumköy and Manavgat. What we publish a price for from Evrenseki hotels is the combo described on this page.
The shorter jeep-only alternative — the Taurus Mountains programme with the lakeside lunch and the Green Canyon viewpoints — runs as the Side departure. If you are staying in Evrenseki and want that day instead of the combo, message us and we will confirm pickup for your hotel before you commit to anything. We do not quote a jeep-only Evrenseki price on this page, because we only publish figures we can stand behind.
Booking, payment and cancellation
Reserve the date online, pay nothing now, and settle in euros on the day of the tour. Free cancellation stands until 24 hours before departure. If you would rather ask a question first — pickup, ages, what the weather is doing to the river — WhatsApp is the fastest route to a real answer: +90 536 603 75 84.
