If you can swim,
(not so necessary actually!) and if your heart is strong enough, if
you are not pregnant, and if you don't have asthma, join a White
Water Rafting tour on Dalaman River which is only 90 minutes to
Marmaris. Don't miss this tour, if you want to fight with the strong
bubbles, paddling down the river (sometimes falling and capsizing!),
and if you don't mind getting wet. The distance is 12 km and the
lunch is given on the shore, nearly midway. If you are brave enough,
you must choose the inflatable kayaks for two, and if you are not,
you'll travel on a big raft with a guide. The tour is completely
safe, No one injured (as yet!). Don't forget to smile to the cameras
on the hardest rapids with the helmets, life jackets, and the
paddles in your hands.
Dalaman River
In the past called Indos, Dalaman River has its source within Kocas
Mountain located nearby Dirmil. It runs into the sea some 8 km south
of Ortaca after its course through a narrow and deep valley where
two of its branches, one coming from Göktepe and the other from
Yaylacik Mountains, being part of the Western Taurus Mountains merge
together. Its total length is : 229 km. It takes place between the
rivers that attract the largest number of tourists as far as rafting
is concerned. Dalaman River situated within Mugla province borders
amongst Köycegiz and Dalaman is offering you R2 (difficulty rate :
3+) and R3 (difficulty rate : 3-4+) level course services. The river
increases the adrenaline of the participants to the rafting activity
through its rapid and exciting course track.
Dalaman Upper River, which courses through a scenic gorge, is laced
with Class I-III rapids that offer easy to moderate summer
whitewater -- but still plenty of excitement -- for kids as young as
6. On a hot summer day, join the rafting team to cool down in the
waters of fast mountain river near Dalaman. The rafting routes are
specially designed for the different levels of rafting experience or
none at all. You can be rafting by yourself or together with your
friends in the larger boats. Usually there is a break for lunch
since the trip program is for all afternoon.
You are advised to take two sets of clothes, sun cream, sun cap,
camera and money for extras. |
