More Facts About This Experience
The Dalaman River flows from the Taurus Mountains toward the Mediterranean and is one of the most popular rafting rivers in Turkey. Pine forests line the valley, with birds of prey often visible overhead. The region appeared in Turkish adventure programs and travel documentaries highlighting outdoor sports. Nearby villages still follow traditional river based agriculture. Rafting tourism here helped preserve the valley as a natural park style zone rather than industrial land, keeping the water clean and suitable for long rafting seasons.
