Great day-trip - I had a great time during the visit to Altyn-emel, our guide was very nice and knowledgeable and spoke both Russian, Kazakh and English well. Altyn-emel itself was a beautiful destination and there were not many other visitors at the park.

Stunning experience - We were a group of 3 and visited Aktau mountains as well as the Singing Dunes. Our guide Elnar did a fantastic job at showing us the destinations as well as giving explanations about them. The tour was organized well and didn‘t feel rushed. The lunch that was served in a guest house on the way was very delicious, too. Fully recommend this tour.

Amazing experience - Me and my family went to visit Altyn Emel national park. It was amazing experience and we have made tons of pics and videos. Aigerim is exceptional guide, we learnt lots of things about the place and culture. Be prepared for a long trip to the National park, and take more snacks and drinks with you.
