Charyn Canyon
Begin your adventure with the dramatic Charyn Canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Kazakhstan." Here, you’ll explore the famous "Valley of Castles," where towering rock formations carved by wind and water resemble ancient fortresses. Walk along the canyon's paths, capturing breathtaking photos of its red and ochre walls that glow under the sun.
Next, we visit the mysterious Kaiyndy Lake, home to a sunken forest created by an earthquake. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters hide ancient trees whose tops emerge above the surface, creating an eerie yet stunning scene. A walk around the lake offers incredible views and the chance to experience nature’s quiet, surreal beauty.

Wonderful & Memorable Day Trip from Almaty

5.00I had a great experience with Sam's Tour on its one day private tour to Charyn Canyon, Kolsai & Kaindy Lakes. My guide, Ayan was extremely engaging, helpful and supportive throughout the trip, and most importantly a safe driver. Although this was a long day tour (12+ hours), the time passed quickly because Ayan was great company and we enjoyed our conversations in English. If you are considering a day tour whilst in Almaty, you can’t go wrong in booking this tour with Ayan as your guide and driver. It’s money well spent as you’ll return to your accommodation in the evening having learnt more about Kazakhstan, and having had sufficient time to admire the lakes and canyons at your own pace and learn of their history. The lunch provided at a restaurant overlooking Kaindy Lake was also very good! All in all, Ayan will take very good care of you!
Great one day tour!

5.00We took this tour to the canyon and lakes with Sam. It was such a great day!! Everything was well organized and the schedule was flexible throughout the day. All of the sights were amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Sam was great to spend the day with - very professional, patient, and easy to talk to. We felt well taken care of. I would definitely recommend any tours with him!
Excellent Service.

I am very satisfied with his companion eventhough it's raining ( not your fault) however he took a lot of awesome photos for me. He is customer centric oriented, highly recommended and superb. Kudos to him.
This is a long excursion...

5.00The night before I contacted the tour operator to ask what the pickup time was and received a prompt reply. My husband and I were picked up at our hotel at the stipulated time of 7.30 am by Ayan, our young guide/driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our outing to the canyon and the lakes. Ayan was fiemdly, informative, very accommodating and most importantly he was a very good driver. We had lots of time to wonder around and never felt rushed. This is a very good tour, though expensive but then it’s a private tour so it was well worth the money. We got back to the hotel at 8.30 pm, tired but thoroughly enjoyed our outing. Thanks Ayan!id highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had a great experience with Sam’s Tour. Our one day private tour to charyn, Kolsai & Kaindy was excellent!! Our guide Ayan from Sam’s tour was helpful and supportive throughout the trip. Though this was a long day tour, we didn’t find any difficulties because our guide was ready to help and guide us during the long treks. His car and his driving skills through out the trip was perfect! He speaks really well in English, so you won’t face any language restrictions. If you ever get a chance to book at Sam’s tour, do ask for our guide Ayan. Thanks to everyone we had a great time in Kazakhstan.
Had such a great time,...

5.00It was a 15- hour adventure involved hiking and some bone jarring rides in beat-up but supposedly indestructible old Soviet era vans to and Lake Kaiynday, a lake formed by an earthquake just over a century ago with dead trees still eerily standing. Charyn Canyon is spectacular for its rock formations and it was a easy hike to the cooling river at the end of the hike, to reach the two lakes more strenuous hikes were required. This long day trip may not be for everybody but our tour guide Ayang(sorry if my spelling is off) made our private tour more enjoyable and worthwhile. We even had a peddle boat ride with his help in beautiful Lake Kolsay.
Great Trip. Wonderful...

5.00Sam is our guide for this one day tour. From the beginning, Sam had communicated with us with details and information. On the day of our trip, Sam explained the detail and keeps us informed about all the option routes and makes great advises. Of course, the scenes we see are spectatular. We do enjoy our trip with Sam. Highly recommended.
