4-day, 5-day and 6-day white-water rafting expeditions on the Coruh River in north-east Turkey. The Coruh is classed as one of the world's top 10 white water rivers and is at its most exciting during May and June, when water levels are at their peak.
In addition to the thrilling action on the river, the area is virtually untouched by tourism, giving us a real chance to experience traditional Turkish village life and hospitality.
Accommodation is in tents on the riverside. All transport is included, starting and finishing at Erzurum airport, and all meals in camp, plus all river and camping equipment.
