What "Premium" Honestly Means Here
There is no secret tier of machines and no velvet rope. The premium end of our range is simply the two biggest days we run out of Side — the full-day combos that fill eight hours, include a riverside lunch, and stack three or four activities instead of one. This page exists to explain what you get for stepping up to them, and to be honest about what you give up.
The Two Flagship Days
The three-in-one pairs a twelve-kilometre white-water run with a zipline flight of four hundred to eight hundred metres across the canyon and an off-road quad leg on the 18 km short route. The four-in-one keeps the rafting and the zipline, swaps the quad for a buggy leg on the same 18 km route, and finishes with a scenic stop at the historic stone bridge over Köprülü Canyon and the viewpoints above the river, with free time to stand there and take it in. Both are graded extreme. Both include return transfer, insurance, all safety equipment and lunch by the river.
Note the vehicle difference, because listings elsewhere blur it: the four-in-one's off-road leg is a two-seat buggy, not a quad. If you specifically want to be on a quad, the three-in-one is your day.
What You Trade for the Extra Activities
Focus. The off-road leg inside a big day is one act of four, not the whole show; the standalone Side quad safari rides the same 18 km short route as a half-day out and nothing else. The premium days buy you breadth — river, air, dirt and a viewpoint in one outing — rather than depth in any one of them. Neither choice is wrong; the mistake is expecting one to be the other.
Private and Tailored Days
Groups often want something the standard schedule does not do: a private departure, a particular running order, a mix of activities across two vehicles, or a day built around a birthday. We arrange these on request rather than sell them off a shelf. Send us your group size, your dates and what you actually want out of the day, and we will tell you what is possible and what it involves before anyone commits to anything.
Practical Notes
Both flagship days are not recommended for pregnant guests, toddlers or anyone with serious back, mobility or heart conditions. Children from four to eleven sit in the child pricing category. Bring a swimsuit, towel, water-resistant shoes that fasten to your feet, sunglasses, sunscreen and a full change of clothes. Photography, video and drinks are extra; everything mandatory is in the price.
Choose Your Day
Both flagship combos and the shorter options sit side by side on the combo tours page, the Side-specific breakdown is on Side combo tours, and live dates and prices for every departure are on the ride list.
