An unforgettable and deeply enriching day! - I had the immense pleasure of sharing this day around the Burabay site with my guide Kadyrbek. If you want to discover a new side of Kazakhstan outside of the big cities, then this is the ideal choice! The hike is accessible to everyone and offers you a breathtaking view of the different mountains, lakes and expanse of forests. In addition, the landscape varies with each season, which leaves you to choose according to your preferences. You will then have the chance to enjoy a delicious typical meal, accompanied by tea and other condiments, all this in a warm, lively restaurant where you will continue to have a view of the mountains. Finally I had the honor of posing with an eagle, taking a boat ride and ending the day in style with a horseback ride. Throughout the day Kadyrbek was more than just a guide, he teaches you a lot about his culture, his country and Burabay, but he will also be very interested in learning about your culture and your country. Plus he will put you at ease. This is a very open-minded and very interesting person with whom you can talk about everything and with whom the conversation is never boring. I highly recommend you go ahead and visit this place with Kadyrbek!

Much beyond expectations!! - One of the most beautiful places we have ever visited in our incursions to this incredible planet called Earth!!! Burabay emerges as an oasis in the steppes in the northern region of Kazakhstan. With lakes of clear water and mysterious stones, which most seem to have been capriciously shaped for a mystery movie setting, this Park is a must-see destination for nature and adventure lovers. Our guide, Kadyrbek always very helpful and attentive gave a true lesson of explanations about the region, the park, the local culture, finally about the most interesting little things we love to pay attention to. We highly recommend this tour!

Great time in North Kazakhstan - Great tour organized by Astana Horizons. My guide Amir was very helpful and always made sure I was having great time. Kadyrbek, the owner of this company, organized this trip for me, which was very nice and memorable experience. The nature was so beautiful. Thank you!

Magnificent views and fresh air - The tour to Burabay National Park begins with a long drive, during which you can observe the landscape and individual herds of horses. On arrival, the walk to the viewpoint with its magnificent views was an absolute highlight. The boat trip on the lake and the ascent of the rock was relaxing. Lunch, a Kazakh specialty, was another highlight of the day. The guide, Kadyrbek, was very friendly and well informed, he speaks excellent English. All in all, a great tour that I can recommend to anyone.

A wonderful day in every way, location, organization, atmosphere... - We had a fantastic day with our guide Kadyrbek who made sure our day was a success! The site is magnificent! We were able to enjoy an exceptional view of the lakes at the end of a small climb, along a very pleasant pine trail. After this walk, we continued to enjoy the place and we ate on the terrace (comfortably seated with blankets), Kadyrbek helped us choose the dishes to help us discover Kazakh flavors, everything was excellent and we We drank delicious tea. We passed through the park dedicated to Abylai-Khan where, among other things, we posed with eagles. Finally the day ended with a boat trip, in a sensational atmosphere, to the sound of Kazakh music that we love. This day was nothing but a huge moment of happiness!

Beautiful Burabay - Excellent trip to Burabay with Kadyrbek. The lunch was superb with local fare. The trip on Lake Burabay was informative and exciting. But the best part was climbing up the hill overlooking the lake. A million dollar view!

Spectacular Burabay is just 3hrs from Astana - Kadyrbek was a terrific and friendly tour guide. He organised a comprehensive tour of Astana city and Burabay on the second day. In Burabay he assisted and encouraged my wife who has a bad ankle and knee to climb to a Peak to get a spectacular view of the Burabay lake. He introduced us to the Khazak's cuisine and a must-have Tashkent tea.
