Daily Zamanti River Rafting Tour from Cappadocia – Kapuzbasi Falls

This rafting day trip from Cappadocia swaps fairy chimneys for white water on the Zamanti River near Yahyali in Kayseri province, where the river cuts a deep blue canyon through the Taurus foothills. Pickup from hotels in Goreme, Avanos or Urgup, transport, professional rafting guides, safety gear, a basic rafting lesson and a riverside buffet lunch are all included, so you only need to bring your sense of adventure.

After changing into your gear, a short class teaches you the essentials of paddling and safety before you set off through the blue canyon of the Zamanti. Guided by experienced instructors, you steer the raft through rapids, ride over waves and slip between rocks, surrounded by towering canyon walls. No previous rafting experience is required, which makes this outdoor excursion a great active addition to a Cappadocia holiday for friends, couples and adventurous families.

Midway along the river you stop on the bank for a buffet lunch and a rest in the shade. Afterwards, if time and conditions allow, the group visits Kapuzbasi Waterfall, a series of spectacular falls pouring out of the rock face, one of the best-known natural sights of the region. In the evening you are driven back to your hotel in Cappadocia, tired and happy after a day of nature, teamwork and adrenaline.
