Looking for a Sapanca and Izmit day trip from Istanbul with a smaller shared group? This VIP trip is limited to a maximum of 14 guests and costs $25 per person. The listed price includes hotel pickup and return within the service area, one meal, transport and an accompanying guide.

What to expect on the Sapanca & Izmit VIP tour

Plan for a full day outside the city, with departure from Istanbul in the morning and an expected return in the evening. The current program combines nature stops around Sapanca with stops in Izmit. Depending on operating conditions, the route may offer time for optional experiences such as the cable car, zipline or quad biking. The sequence and availability can change with traffic, weather and local operations, so confirm the day’s route before departure.

Sapanca is in Sakarya province, east of Istanbul. Its lake and surrounding open landscapes make it a popular day-trip area. Kartepe is a nearby mountain destination; seasonal conditions and activity operations vary. For regional background, see the Sakarya Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism and GoTürkiye’s Kartepe guide.

What is included in the $25 price?

• Shared group transport from and back to eligible hotels within the service area
• One meal during the tour
• An accompanying guide and trip organization
• A maximum group size of 14 guests

The trip is shared with other guests; “VIP” and small group do not mean an exclusive private car. Optional activity tickets, attraction admission and personal purchases are not automatically included. Ask the team to confirm the meal details and any activity costs before booking.

Pickup, timing and family questions

Pickup and return are available within the service area. Send your hotel name, preferred date and number of travelers so the team can confirm whether your address is covered and provide the expected pickup time. The day is approximately 11 hours, although traffic and operating conditions can affect the schedule.

Children up to and including age 3 travel free; children older than 3 are charged the full per-person price. If you have dietary needs or are traveling with children, mention them when you enquire so the team can confirm what is available.
