Escape into the green heart of northwestern Turkey on this relaxing day tour from Bolu. This fully guided daily excursion takes you to two of the region's most picturesque lakes, with generous free time at each to stroll the shoreline, breathe the pine-scented air and capture unforgettable photographs. It's an ideal Bolu day trip for nature lovers of all ages, with a relaxed pace and no demanding walking.
Your daily tour begins with a hotel pick-up in Bolu, followed by a scenic drive to Paradise Lake. Surrounded by dense forest and rolling hills, the lake offers a peaceful setting where you can wander at your own pace and photograph the reflections on the water. After regrouping at the agreed time, the journey continues towards Abant Lake, the highlight of the day.
Abant Lake National Park is famous for its pristine freshwater lake set among pine and fir forests at around 1,300 metres above sea level. Each season paints the landscape differently — wildflowers in spring, cool green shade in summer, golden foliage in autumn and a snowy wonderland in winter. During your free time here you can walk the lakeside path, shop at the village market for regional specialties, or enjoy the traditional horse-drawn carriage ride that has become the symbol of Abant (available at an extra cost).
This day trip from Bolu includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, all entrance fees mentioned in the itinerary and the services of a professional English-speaking guide. Meals, personal expenses, the optional carriage ride and tips for guides and drivers are not included. The tour operates in English and welcomes guests from 0 to 99 years old, making it a perfect family-friendly daily excursion.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
