An Unforgettable Water Adventure in Istanbul
Feel Safe Travel Agency invites you to experience Istanbul like never before—by canoe! Escape the crowded streets and discover the magical beauty of this ancient city from the tranquil waters of the Bosphorus. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful journey or a unique activity with friends, our Canoeing in Istanbul tour is the perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure.
What to Expect on the Canoeing Tour
The canoeing location is situated on the Asian side of Istanbul, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a scenic ferry ride across the Bosphorus. We recommend using public ferries or the metro line to avoid heavy traffic, especially during rush hours. Once you arrive, our professional trainers will greet you and provide all the necessary equipment for your canoeing experience.
Each canoe is shared by two people, and you’ll always paddle alongside one of our skilled trainers—so you’re never alone on the water. If you’re joining with a partner or friend, you’ll paddle in tandem and even have the chance to meet under the Bosphorus Bridge for a memorable photo opportunity.

Sarah Thompson –
From start to finish, everything was well-organized by Feel Safe Travel. Our guide was incredibly friendly and made sure we felt safe and confident throughout the ride. The views of the Bosphorus from the water were absolutely stunning — seeing the city’s skyline, palaces, and bridges from a canoe gave me a completely new perspective on Istanbul.
I especially loved paddling under the Bosphorus Bridge and capturing unforgettable photos with my partner. It was peaceful, scenic, and far from the crowds. Highly recommend this activity if you’re looking for something truly unique and adventurous to do in Istanbul!
