Dalaman River

If you are rafting for the first time in your life, you may find the beginning of the route a little difficult. But do not worry, rafting is not only for professionals, beginners can do it too.

There are six levels of difficulty in rafting. The first section of the Dalaman River is more extreme, with level 3 and 4 rapids. Excitement and fear will disappear after the first minutes, and you will plunge into an exciting journey. Splashing wagons, beautiful views of wildlife, laughter and exclamations from the whole team. Believe you will like it!

The second section is quite calm, suitable even for children. A comfortable last stage will take you to the final point of the rafting. Here you can take a breath and share your impressions. And after that you will be invited to a delicious lunch to restore your strength.

Basic safety rules while rafting:

The vest and helmet cannot be removed from the beginning to the end of the rafting.

To avoid causing injury to others, it is necessary to hold the paddle correctly and firmly: with one hand on the handle, with the other – 10 cm from the blade.

It is necessary to be located on the sides of the raft. This will help avoid accidents and row faster during the rafting.

To avoid falling into the water, hold on tight to the rescue ropes.

If you still find yourself in the water, then try to climb back, grabbing the lifelines, but if you are thrown far enough away, wait for the help of your comrades and instructor. Grabbing the thrown rope, roll over onto your back. So it will be easier to drag you to the raft.

Rafting in Marmaris will be your most memorable holiday experience! The beauty of nature, team spirit, overcoming oneself, adrenaline will bring extraordinary joy and elation!
