Walk outside the city, very nice - I had the chance to take the excursion with Arsen. A pleasant walk in the forest Surrounded by greenery, it was good! I took the option "boat ride" and I was not disappointed. About thirty minutes on the lake with the wind in my hair, I loved it!! It feels good to get out of town once in a while.

Amazing Day Trip from Astana !! Fantastic !! - Really memorable trip to Burabay National Park with this tour company! Highly recommend to take this day trip from Astana or even spend a night or two in Burabay!! Amazing views, easy drive and fantastic tour!! Kadyrbek, the tour owner, is very easy to work with. Our tour guide Damir was really amazing… we were picked up on time, we got a short commentary of Astana as we were leaving town, and the drive was quite short. We took our time through the day and the guide did not rush us. Most of the time we spent on the mountain soaking in the view, then a boat ride on the lake, followed by lunch and free time on the meadow, and then back to Astana. We spent so much time on the lake views that we decided to drop the horse ride in the pine forest. Well planned tour with a great guide! Really happy I choose this company!

Must see - Excellently organized tour, full sense of comfort, friendly pleasant atmosphere and extraordinary beauty of this wonderful place. Everything takes place in a comfortable rhythm, a wide range of attractions, all very kind and with great care. A+ lunch, though we don't eat meat, which is the backbone of the national cuisine. Our guide Damir found us a great restaurant with a panoramic view of the lake surrounded by pine trees and a cool choice for discerning eaters like us) Definitely recommended.

Excellent Trip for 1 Day - It was a Great Trip to Burabay Park with lot of interesting Spots and also a Great Short Trip on the lake by boat. We choosed this oportunity instead of horse riding. Also the hike was Fine-a bit to rough for „older“People in the beginning. For some the way to the top is the great thing- for others the top of the hill. ☺️ Also the way our guide welcomed us with sweets in the car and Water bottles was very nice! Kadyrbek is a good guide with exzellent manners. Maybe a better car would it make more comfortable in Future. But the whole Day-also the Lunch stop- and conversation were very nice.
