Trade the crowded bazaars for the forest canopy on this Xtrem Aventures adventure park tour from Istanbul, a lively day tour to the green Ataturk Arboretum area of Sariyer on the city's northern edge. Hotel pickup and return transfer are included, so all you need to bring is energy and a sense of adventure.
Arriving in Istanbul on a cruise ship? The Xtrem Aventures Day Trip is one of the shore excursions we regularly arrange for cruise guests calling at the port of Istanbul. Because it runs as a private tour, we plan the timing around your ship: your guide and driver meet you at the cruise terminal, and the programme is adjusted to your all-aboard time. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Send us your ship name and the date of your call in Istanbul and we will confirm availability.
Xtrem Aventures is one of the best-known adventure parks in Turkey, built among the tall trees close to the Ataturk Arboretum, a protected botanical forest in Sariyer known for its rich collection of native and exotic tree species. The park is organised into five separate courses, so beginners can warm up on the easier routes while confident climbers move on to higher and more technical sections. Each route links platforms with swinging ropes, wobbly bridges, nets and zip-lines, testing balance, coordination and a little courage, all while you stay clipped in to a safety system.
This daily excursion is a refreshing alternative to classic sightseeing and works well for active travellers, friends and families with teenagers; the minimum age is 12. As a Sariyer day trip and daily Istanbul tour it fits easily into a longer stay: wear sporty clothes and closed shoes, tie back long hair and leave valuables at the hotel. Entrance to the park is included, while lunch and snacks are at your own expense. Your English-speaking guide handles the logistics so you can concentrate on the fun and the fresh forest air.

Xtrem Aventures Adventure Park Programme Your guide meets you at your hotel in Istanbul and you travel by air-conditioned vehicle north to Sariyer, where the adventure park lies among the woodland of the Ataturk Arboretum area. On arrival the park team fits you with a safety harness and explains how the clip-in system works before you head into the trees. You are free to choose from five courses graded by difficulty, starting gently and moving up as your confidence grows, or trying every one of them if you have the stamina. Expect rope swings, suspended bridges, cargo nets, climbing walls and zip-lines that carry you from platform to platform high above the forest floor, with plenty of chances to snap action photos along the way. Between courses you can catch your breath in the shade, buy a snack or a drink at your own expense and enjoy the calm of the forest. Once you have had your fill of climbing and swinging, you meet your guide again and are driven back to your hotel in Istanbul.

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!
