This daily quad safari from Istanbul swaps the crowded city centre for forest tracks and sea views on the northern edge of the city. After hotel pickup you travel to an off-road course near the Anatolian Lighthouse, receive a full safety briefing, and set off on a 40-minute ATV ride over dusty paths, muddy sections and light off-road terrain. It is a lively daily excursion for families, groups of friends and anyone who wants a dose of adrenaline without leaving Istanbul.
The Anatolian Lighthouse, known locally as Anadolu Feneri, stands at the point where the Bosphorus meets the Black Sea on the Asian shore. The surrounding area is green and far quieter than the city below, with woodland, rolling hills and views over the water, which makes it a natural setting for off-road riding. The course is a controlled natural track, so first-time riders can enjoy it safely once the instructors have explained how the bikes work.
This daily quad tour is designed for participants aged 12 and over. Wear clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dusty or muddy, and bring sunglasses on dry days. Hotel pickup and return transfer are included, as are all entrance fees mentioned in the programme; lunch is not included. Short, energetic and easy to fit into a city break, this Istanbul quad safari day trip offers a refreshing change of pace and plenty of memorable moments with friends and family.

Istanbul Quad Safari Programme Your day starts with pickup from your hotel in Istanbul and a transfer out of the busy centre towards the forested countryside near the Anatolian Lighthouse, where the Bosphorus opens into the Black Sea. At the quad base, the professional English-speaking instructors welcome you and give a thorough safety briefing, explaining how to handle the ATV and what to expect on the course. Once everyone is confident, you set off on the 40-minute track, a specially prepared circuit of dusty trails, muddy patches and light off-road sections winding through the woodland. The team rides with the group and supervises throughout, and there are short pauses at scenic viewpoints so you can take photos of the lighthouse surroundings and the green landscape. Once the ride is over you board the vehicle for the return transfer to your hotel.

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!
