“I arranged my trip to turkey (Black Sea package) with this local travel expert and it was a life time experience. Alican prepared the whole package as per our needs and comfort. Once in turkey the assigned guide and driver treated us like family and made sure we enjoyed every bit of our vacation without any worries. They all went out of the way to make us feel at home. I have no regrets or complains about anything from this agency as I received services more than expectations. I highly recommend this agency.”

Highlights of Turkey Adventure Tours
Enjoy an affordable ski season (December to February) on your Turkey trip. Compared with other European ski resorts, Turkish ski resorts offer much cheaper rates with fewer crowds.
Swim, dive, snorkel, kiteboard or kayak as Turkey offers a range of watersports to choose from. The tranquil and crystal-clear Turkish coastline, particularly near Bodrum and Kas, is perfect for adventure watersports tours in Turkey.
Take to the sky in a hot air balloon at Cappadocia to see the fairy chimneys and other rock formations.
Hit the trails with historic hikes. With a history that stretches back from Ancient Greece, the Ottomans and beyond, the trails around Turkey are brimming with history.
Take a horseback excursion to Turkey’s mountainous landscape. Enjoy the natural beauty of the ancient land and put your off-trail riding skills to the test.
Travel Tips for Adventure Tours in Turkey
Avoid or limit outdoor adventures in the summer months, as temperatures can get unbearable.
Carry cash, especially if you’re hiking or mountain biking in remote areas like Mount Ararat, as ATMs are at a premium outside the main cities.
Check the reviews for your adventure operator. Everyone loves a budget deal but when you’re canyoning or paragliding, safety records and good reviews are way more important than saving a bit of money.
Double check public transport schedules. Turkish buses aren’t the most reliable outside of the city. If you’re heading out of the major cities for a daylong hike, make sure you can get back.
