The Jungle Park family day tour takes you from your hotel to one of the liveliest indoor wildlife attractions in Istanbul, set inside the Isfanbul entertainment complex. This daily excursion is designed with children in mind, yet adults enjoy it just as much: a guided day of exotic animals, themed adventures and relaxed time together, with transfers and lunch arranged for you.
Cruise passengers docking in Istanbul can book the Jungle Park Family Day Tour as a convenient Istanbul shore excursion during their port call. With a private vehicle and guide, the day is timed to your ship’s arrival and departure, so you can enjoy the sights without worrying about the all-aboard deadline. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Just tell us the ship and the day it calls at Istanbul — we take care of the rest.
Jungle Park recreates a tropical forest under one roof, so the visit works in any season and in any weather. Winding paths lead past parrots, iguanas, snakes, turtles and alligators, while aquarium sections reveal sharks and other marine life up close. The Safari Adventure is an interactive themed route where younger visitors can watch animals from very near, and the Dungeon Experience adds dark passages, special effects and playful scares for older children and grown-ups. Isfanbul itself is one of the largest leisure complexes in the city, which makes this Jungle Park day trip an easy and well-organised outing.
As a daily tour from Istanbul, it suits families who want a break from mosques and museums without the stress of planning transport. Your English-speaking guide stays with you all day, entrance fees for the attractions in the programme are included, and lunch can be vegetarian, halal or meat-based on request. Children of all ages may join; please keep in mind that the Dungeon is recommended only from the age of ten. Comfortable clothes and a camera are all you need.

Jungle Park & Isfanbul Programme In the morning we collect you from your centrally located hotel in Istanbul, and you meet your English-speaking guide for the comfortable drive to Jungle Park inside the Isfanbul complex. Stepping in, you find yourself in a warm tropical setting where shaded paths wind past colourful parrots, iguanas, snakes, crocodiles, giant spiders, turtles and monkeys, while large tanks let you watch sharks glide past. Your guide shares stories about where these species come from and how they live. Next comes the Safari Adventure, a themed, interactive route created for visitors of all ages, with close and safe encounters with fascinating animals. Those who like a thrill can then enter the Dungeon Experience, a world of mysterious corridors, lighting effects and surprises that is best enjoyed by children aged ten and older and by adults. After the park, lunch is served at a local restaurant, after which you have a little time to take pictures and browse for souvenirs. In the afternoon you relax on the transfer back to your hotel in Istanbul, where this seven-hour family outing comes to an end.

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!
