Cần Quan Tâm
Charyn State National Nature Park
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.

5.00Fantastic tour! So many natural wonder to see in one day! Charyn, Kolsay and Kaindy are all beautiful and very unique. In addition to enjoying natural wonders we also rode horses and had a very cool photoshoot in national outfits. It's a long tour but absolutely worth it! We got a lot to see and do without feeling rushed. The drive was very comfortable and beautiful. Our guide Aikerim did an excellent job

5.00“Had an amazing all-day private tour in Kazakhstan thanks to my guides/driver, Konti and Ayan. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire day. The car was brand new and clean, comfortable and they were on time. We visited Charyn Canyon, Kolsay and Kaiyndy Lakes and lastly Black Canyon on the return. The diverse landscapes and untouched nature were stunning!!! My guides answered every question I had and were very flexible in tailoring the experience to exactly what I wanted to see and at my pace. Their professionalism and hospitality made the tour smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Konti was great at ensuring I was always comfortable, tons of knowledge regarding Kazak culture, and great conversations during the road trip as well his fire playlist!! He was also super kind and mature for his age. Ayan is incredibly versed is all things Kazak, gave wonderful history and stories regarding kazak music and the 4 sites visited. He is also a great photographer to help capture all the moments. Thank you guys!! Highly recommend touring with them and requesting Konti or Ayan!”

5.00I recently had the pleasure of spending the day with my tour guide / driver, Ayan. He is a very friendly and affable guy, and turned out to be great company on this unforgettable day-trip. Ayan gave me information about each attraction during the stops, and always offered to take pictures of me. We were able to cover the full itinerary as advertised, and even made a short stop at the Black Canyon when returning to Almaty. The landscape at Charyn Canyon was out of this world, plus I found Kaindy Lake surreal to look at with my own eyes. The total amount of time it took was just under 12 hours (from the minute we left my hotel to the minute we got back), which I think was the perfect amount of time. Thank you for a brilliant day, Ayan! Good luck with your studies and future.
Great day out of Almaty!

5.00We had an absolutely incredible day exploring Charyn Canyon, Kolsay, and Kaiyndy with Ayan. From the moment he picked us up, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. He shared lots of interesting local knowledge and went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout the entire trip. If you're looking for a private tour in Almaty, I cannot recommend this tour and Ayan highly enough—he truly made the experience unforgettable!
Wonderful day trip to Charyn Canyon and the lakes.

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!
