A Hell of a ride! Highly recommended! - We highly recommend this tour by guide Reagan. It is an unique experience to ride a bike ‘in Hell’ alongside wildlife and beautiful landscapes. Reagan knows a lot about Kenyan and African nature and culture and combines this with fun and care for his guests. Reagan, thanks a lot for being our guide during the boatride on Lake Naivasha and the bike tour in Hell’s gate. It was amazing!

Amazing and kind tour guide! - Reagan was such a good guide during our stay (group of 7 Dutch girls) at Lake Naivasha! Besides the tour in Hell’s gate, he also took us on a boat safari and hiking Mount Longonot.
Reagan knows so much about the nature, animals and plants and always had an interesting fact ready to tell us. He told us many nice stories at the trips. Besides, he was also interested in our stories and we had some nice chats.
These days didn’t feel like we hired a tour guide, but instead felt like being toured around and spending time with a friend.
We had a blast spending our time with Reagan and we can’t imagine a better and nicer guide :)
Thanks so much Reagan!!! <3

Perfect guide for multiple days around Lake Navaisha! - Reagen guided us for three days: on a boat safari at Lake Oloigen; a bike, climb, and hike tour through Hell’s Gate park; and a hike on Mount Longonot. He was the perfect guide for us with many fun facts, good knowledge about the parks and animals, and overall a positive and happy attitude that made our experience unforgettable. Arranging things last-minute was super easy and he was very flexible with departure times. We’ve truly made a friend with him and would recommend him to any group that is searching to see the best of the Lake Navaisha area! Asante sana!

Heaven in Hells gate - We (group of 7 Dutch girls) got an amazing bike tour given by Reagan in Hells gate. He knows everything about the park and gives you the time to take pictures, or to ask questions or if you want to bike a little bit slower. He doesn't leaves you behind and is very considering about the needs and wants. It was everything we hoped and so much more. Would definitely recommend!

Reagan is a great tour guide! - Reagan was an amazing tour guide. He was very respectful and polite the whole time. He answered all our questions with enthusiasm and knew what he was talking about. He also helped out with no hesitation, when my mom needed assistance with her bike. Great service, would tour with him again and recommend him to anyone.
