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!

Daily Private Hidirnebi Plateau & Cal Cave Tour from Trabzon
Embark on an unforgettable day tour that blends high‑altitude serenity with underground adventure, perfect for a daily excursion or a memorable Trabzon day trip. Your private guide will lead your group through stunning mountain vistas, a mysterious limestone cavern, and a tranquil lakeside setting, all while enjoying the comfort of dedicated transportation from and back to Trabzon.
Highlights
- Hidirnebi Plateau – panoramic mountain landscapes at 1,600 m, traditional wooden yayla houses and sea‑of‑clouds views.
- Cal Cave (Düzköy) – one of the region’s longest caves, featuring an underground stream and spectacular speleothems.
- Sera Lake – a peaceful coastal lake ideal for photography and a relaxing stroll.
The Hidirnebi Plateau, perched above the Black Sea town of Akçaabat, rises to roughly 1,600 meters and offers a rare combination of rugged mountain scenery and pastoral charm. In summer, locals move their livestock here, constructing wooden “yayla” houses that blend seamlessly with the surrounding pine forests. From the plateau you can gaze over a sea of clouds that rolls over the valleys below, creating a surreal, almost otherworldly atmosphere that has inspired poets and travelers for generations.
Cal Cave, located near the village of Düzköy, is celebrated as one of the longest caves in the Black Sea region. Its winding passages are carved by a persistent underground stream, producing a cool, echoing chamber system that showcases stalactites, stalagmites, and mineral‑rich pools. The cave’s geological formations tell a story of millennia of water flow, making it a fascinating destination for both casual visitors and avid speleologists. Entrance to the cave is not included in the price, allowing you the flexibility to purchase tickets on site.
Sera Lake lies just a short drive from the coast, offering a mirror‑like surface that reflects the surrounding hills and the distant Black Sea horizon. The lake’s calm waters attract a variety of bird species, making it a favorite spot for nature lovers and photographers. A leisurely walk along its banks provides a perfect moment to unwind after the high‑altitude and underground experiences, completing the day with a touch of serenity.

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!
