Highlights

Singing Barkhan - Located in Altyn-Emel National Park, Singing dune is one of the most unique phenomena of nature. The area is referred to as the Singing Dunes on account of the rumbling sound emitted from the sand.
A light breeze gives a barely audible squeak, while strong gusts produce a more intense sound, similar to an organ. In the Middle Ages, people who heard the singing of a dune, believed that it was the howling devil. - Aktau Mountains - Limestone mountains Aktau is a geological museum under the sky. This is one of the most interesting and spectacular objects of tourism in the State National Natural Park \

Amazing day with Micha - Micha was an amazing guide and driver. We spent all day driving to the park and seeing the dune, mountains, and scenery. The sites are breathtaking. Sliding down the dune and hearing the sound is a once in a life time experience. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend - Amazing all day trip with an awesome guide. Micha was a great driver. He made the trip even better. The scenery of the national park was awe inspiring. The sound of the dune under your feet and butt was truly something magical.

Altyn Emel Apr 2023 - The driver, Olzhas, was great. Ski instructor at Shymbulak. A calm driver who never gave you the feeling that he didn't know what he was doing, even on the gravel slopes. He had great music in the car. The car, a Toyota 4Runner, was excellent. (as we had previously driven from Astana to Almaty by car, I can say this: you can book Luxury with driver and still get a car with damaged fenders and broken shock absorbers....). It was new, very clean, freshly washed (ok, dirty again after a short time, but that was kind of the goal). Everything we saw was great. Never did Olzhas stress in any way - always completely relaxed (the way I imagine a good guide: if there are questions, there are answers, but no long talk about things nobody asked about). I had visited the national park before with a two-day tour, but I have to say - even if you have to get up early: I liked this tour better. It's definitely something you must do.

Nasty and dreadful experience - It was a very nasty trip with your driver cum guide. He was fully drunk. Car was off the road for 3 times. We shouted and then only he could again gring the car from the bushes. He was having some friend in a village and he had gone to that place 3 times during the trip
He was acting that the brake has failed. Which is not true. In dead of night he was searching for gas keeping us I the dark road. At 11.30 he left us in our apartment campus.we could not locate our apt. For 30 minutes in mid night shivering. We do not know the.loval language. God saved us from accident 3 times and fr this nasty driver.
