Fantastic Tour of Burabay National Park with Fantastic Company and Guides! - This is one of my favorite tours ever by one of my favorite companies ever! I met a few of the company guides and they all seemed great and spoke great english.. It was a full day so make sure to start early. You can arrange the schedule how you want depending on your interests and the weather etc. On my tour we first did a nice short maybe half an hour hike to a beautiful overlook of the lakes. Then we visited a very cool reconstruction of an ancient settlement which lasted about half an hour. Then we had a very nice lunch. Then near the lunch place we also did a beautiful boat trip that maybe lasted half an hour (there is an option at the same place to also do horse riding which I heard was very nice and easy although I dont normally ride horses so I skipped that). There were a lot of trained eagles in the same area too that you could take pics with. And finally the last stop was the best stop, climbing Mount Bolektau for spectacular views, which took maybe an hour total. If you have an extra day In Astana, I cant recommend this tour highly enough if you like the outdoors and fantastic views although make sure the weather is decent. It rained a little bit when I went which was fine but it would be no fun if it was raining alot all day long..

Burabay - Nature and culture tour - The tour itself was great and our guide Amir was very kind and talkative. We have learnt many things from him about Kazakh culture during the road. Rvrn he took care to our 2.5 years old boy as his nephew while we were riding a horse. As a couple, we were concerned about having this trip with a little kid but definitely Amir made our trip. We have managed two hikes around 20minutes, a boat trip and horse riding successfully. I would definitely recommend the trip. The Burabay lake and region is very special and you may have once in a lifetime experience.

Great tour to a great place - Went on this tour to Burabay from Astana in June 2024. Had a fantastic day and a great tour. The tour company were extremely welcoming, hospitable, and helpful and kept in really good communication and contact. Madi was my guide for the day and was very informative and friendly and taught me so much about Burabay and about Kazakhstan in general. You get so much say over how the day goes. It is an absolutely beautiful part of Northern Kazakhstan and well worth seeing if you want a day out of Astana.

Fun tour of the lake! - A nice escape from the city to see some beautiful nature around Astana. We got to see the lake in nice weather, learned about some of the rock formations in the area, saw monuments, ate some traditional Kazakh food, and had a short hike for some nice views of the lake. It was a solid, diverse itinerary that allowed us to mix up the activities a bit and kept things interesting.

Unforgettable Burabay - Sultan, our guide to Burabay National Park, was incredible. He was kind, attentive, and always ready to help with translations or explanations. Burabay itself was amazing. The hike was fantastic, and we loved the boat ride and all the other activities. He made sure all our needs were taken care of, making the trip truly memorable.

Burabay: a pleasant discovery on a summer day - I chose to explore the Astana area for my summer holidays and, thanks to the organization of Astana Horizons, I spent a total of three days fully visiting everything we had agreed upon, including the Burabay area. I have wonderful memories of this day, spent together with my guide Sultan, whom I warmly thank for his complete availability in fulfilling even my smallest requests, and for his care and passion in sharing the beauty of his country! The day was organized entirely as a private tour: my guide was already waiting for me at Astana Airport, and from there we drove to the Burabay area and its lakes. Once we arrived, lunch was included, followed by an initial exploration of the area. This was then enriched by a private boat trip and another walking tour up to the highest point, from where I could enjoy a spectacular view over the lakes and the lush, forested highlands in front of us. All of this was accompanied by the guide’s detailed explanations. In the late afternoon, as the sun was setting, we returned to Astana directly to my hotel. It was a wonderful day with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. I absolutely recommend this experience!
