It's very convenient to purchase through Klook. They'll send a WhatsApp message in advance to confirm the meeting time and location. The scenery on the boat is beautiful, with sea breezes blowing along the way. There are also onboard announcements introducing the attractions. The whole trip is comfortable and relaxing, and we had a lot of fun.

Escape the hustle and bustle of Istanbul with a boat trip to the islands. Step ashore and immerse yourself in the slow-paced island life, strolling leisurely through the charming streets. Both island stops offer free time for independent exploration. Spend half a day walking around, or rent a bicycle and explore the island at your own pace for a truly unique experience.

The cruise itself was great, but we could have benefitted from better coordination prior re: time and place of meetup, as the operator insisted we were late despite us being early based on the time set here in Klok. Still had a beautiful time by the Bosphorus, with scenic views on board.

love the princes island and Buyukada island tour. I am very surprised that the tour guide that picked me up from the hotel, turns out he brought us to the ship and they drove the ship I’m impressed, and it was very fun to be on the ship, very party music. I particularly like the Buyukada island, very chill with lots of shops and restaurants and groceries shop. I wish I can have more time at Buyukada.

I booked 3 workshops for the same day and all were amazing! This was my favorite part because I could create my own Turkish lamp!

Learning how to make Turkish coffee was so interesting! The part of boiling the coffee in the hot sand was very satisfying.
