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!
Horse Farm Day Tour from Kastamonu – Ride at Daday & Visit Tasci Pond
Explore Rural Kastamonu on a Charming Day Trip
Leave the bustle of Kastamonu behind and discover the tranquil countryside of the Black Sea region on this immersive daily excursion. Guided entirely in English, the tour blends authentic village life, pristine nature, and the unique opportunity to ride on a historic Turkish horse farm.
- Guided horse riding at Daday Farm – a brief safety talk by the farm owner precedes a gentle ride through rolling pastures.
- Scenic stop at Tasci Pond – enjoy the mirror‑like lake set against a backdrop of pine‑covered hills.
- Visit to Cullar village – wander among century‑old, untouched stone houses that whisper stories of generations.
- Traditional Turkish lunch – a hearty, home‑cooked meal served in a local setting.
- Free leisure time – explore at your own pace after lunch before returning to Kastamonu.
The Daday Horse Farm has been a cornerstone of the region’s equine tradition for decades. Its owner, a lifelong horseman, welcomes visitors with a personal introduction to the breeds that have roamed these valleys for centuries. Whether you are an experienced rider or a first‑timer, the farm offers a safe, relaxed experience that showcases the gentle temperament of Turkish horses.
Just a short drive away lies Tasci Pond, a natural oasis cherished by locals for fishing, picnicking, and quiet contemplation. The crystal‑clear waters reflect the surrounding forest, creating a perfect spot for photography and a brief walk along the shoreline.
Further along, the village of Cullar reveals a living museum of rural architecture. Its 100‑year‑old stone homes have survived wars, migrations, and modernization, retaining original wooden beams, hand‑carved doors, and courtyards that still serve as the heart of family life. Strolling through the narrow lanes offers a rare glimpse into a way of life that has changed little over the past century.
Practical notes: the tour runs from a convenient hotel pick‑up in Kastamonu, uses a comfortable air‑conditioned coach, and includes all entrance fees mentioned in the itinerary. The physical level is relaxed, suitable for all ages, and participants can choose whether to ride a horse or simply enjoy the scenic routes with the group.

Kastamonu to Daday Horse Farm & Tasci Pond Your adventure begins with a friendly driver collecting you from your hotel in Kastamonu. After a short, comfortable ride, the group arrives at the Daday Horse Farm where the owner greets everyone and delivers a concise briefing on safety and riding techniques. Those who wish to mount a horse are led to the paddocks, where they can enjoy a gentle trot across verdant fields while soaking in the fresh mountain air. Meanwhile, guests who prefer to stay on foot accompany the guide on a parallel route toward Tasci Pond. The pond, nestled beside the quiet village of Cullar, offers a stunning view of the lake framed by towering pines. A short walk along the water’s edge allows for photos and a moment of reflection. After the outdoor activities, the party reconvenes for a traditional Turkish lunch served in a rustic setting, featuring local specialties prepared with fresh, regional ingredients. Post‑lunch, you have free time to explore Cullar’s historic stone houses, chat with villagers, or simply relax on a bench overlooking the pond. When the afternoon draws to a close, the coach departs for Kastamonu, dropping you back at your hotel with memories of a day spent among horses, lakes, and centuries‑old village charm. ▾

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
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!
