Fethiye rafting is an exhilarating adventure that takes you through a 12-kilometre course with grade 3 rapids.
When lying in the sunshine has outshone its charm, a different way to enjoy your Turkish holiday is to go white water rafting. Not for the fainthearted, this is an adrenalin-flowing tour of epic proportions.
Fethiye rafting is a journey through the Dalaman valley by river, experiencing the beautiful background as you manoeuvre through the water, past lush pine forests that grow right down to the water’s edge and negotiating the white water rapids as you descend.
The rafts hold up to 10 people. Teamwork is of the essence, and your professional guide will tell you all you need to know about successful and safe rafting before you go. The river has a difficulty rating of 2 – 3; therefore, it is suitable for most people as an introduction to white water rafting.
