Turkey is not only sun drenched beaches, spectacular mosques and tasty kebabs! It can also lay claim to one of the most thrilling whitewater adventures that you will ever embark on.

In the timeless far northeast the Coruh River runs it's course, offering not only endless rapids set amongst breathtaking gorges but also access to scores of villages with some of the most hospitable people you will ever meet.

The guides rave about this trip not just because of the thrills that the river offers but also because of the sunny weather, healthy mountain air and fresh food available along the way. All this adds up to provide a very enjoyable river trip experience!
