Overview

Trabzon Airport to Hayrat runs inland through green tea-growing slopes towards a district better known for adventure than sightseeing, with the Baltacı Stream drawing groups for rafting alongside its stone arch bridges. At Trabzon Airport a Haqqi Tours driver already has your flight details on file, and once you step out through customs a private V-Class or Sprinter carries your party up toward the Baltacı Stream and Hayrat's tea-covered hills at the price settled beforehand. Hayrat suits active travellers planning a rafting morning or an afternoon among the tea plantations, as well as families who want a driver who understands the route rather than a generic pickup. No other passengers share the vehicle on your transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should we look for our driver after landing at Trabzon Airport?
Look for a driver standing in the arrivals area holding a board with your surname, positioned where you exit after collecting luggage and clearing any checks.
Is the fare higher if we bring rafting equipment or wetsuits?
No, standard luggage including rafting or outdoor gear fits within the agreed fare; simply mention bulky equipment when booking so we plan the loading accordingly.
Do you provide a car seat for a toddler travelling to Hayrat?
Yes, we fit a suitable child seat once you share the child's age, and this is arranged before your flight lands so nothing is missing at pickup.
How long should we expect the drive to Hayrat to take?
The route is around 64 km and typically takes 50 to 60 minutes, though rafting-season traffic near the stream can add a little extra time.
Which payment methods can we use for the booking?
Both cash and card are accepted, with the fare confirmed through WhatsApp ahead of your trip so payment on the day is straightforward.
If our inbound flight to Trabzon runs late, what happens?
From the moment your flight departs, it is being watched, so should the landing at Trabzon run late, the driver's wait simply extends rather than anything going wrong at the airport.
Can the driver drop us near the rafting point before the hotel?
Yes, mention it ahead of time and the driver can build a stop at the Baltacı Stream into the route before carrying on to wherever you are staying in Hayrat.
Are there shops in Hayrat for last-minute essentials?
A few local shops sell basics in the village centre, though choice is limited compared with Trabzon, so pack anything specific beforehand.
What should we wear for a day that includes rafting?
Quick-drying clothes and closed shoes work best, and a change of clothes in your luggage is worth having for the return leg.
Do other travellers ever share this transfer with us?
No, the vehicle is booked exclusively for your party on every Hayrat transfer we arrange, with no other passengers added along the way.
