About This Tour

Some places in the world feel like they were kept secret on purpose — and Sığla Forest is one of them. This rare and extraordinary natural wonder sits hidden between Antalya and Burdur, waiting to be discovered by those who seek something truly different.

The Sığla Forest is home to the ancient Liquidambar orientalis tree — a species so rare it exists almost nowhere else on Earth. Known in Turkish as “sığla” or “günlük ağacı,” these majestic trees grow directly from the water’s edge, creating one of nature’s most surreal and breathtaking landscapes. Walking among them feels like stepping into another world entirely.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable hotel pickup from Antalya, as your guide takes you on a scenic drive through the Turkish countryside toward this hidden gem. Once you arrive, lace up your shoes for a peaceful forest walk through ancient liquidambar trees, breathing in the fresh air and taking in surroundings unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Then, step aboard your boat for a relaxing cruise across the lake, drifting through the flooded forest as the trees rise dramatically from the water around you. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or simply someone looking for a peaceful escape, this boat tour delivers moments that stay with you long after you return home.

A delicious included lunch rounds off the experience perfectly, giving you the chance to taste local Turkish flavours in the heart of nature.

🌿 Ancient trees. Mirror-still waters. A world completely your own.
