The 11 Best Tours with Lunch in Kazakhstan

1.Kolsai Kaindy Lakes with Charyn Canyons Day Tour (lunch included)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 292 reviews · from $57Our pick

Explore Charyn Canyon, Moon Canyon, Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes on a long, scenic Almaty day tour with lunch and off-road transport.

“It was a very long tour. We left the hotel at 6am and were dropped back at 10.30pm. Jenis the tour guide was amazing in handling the group and making sure that the group adhered to the timeline. We were able to cover 5 spots in the day and they were quite distant from each other. The food was amazing at lunch. Highly recommend this if you want to cover all places in just one day. But if you are a slow traveller then go for a 2 day tour as it lets you explore more as you have a little extra time at hand.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 7 reviews · 10 hours · from $50Best value

Explore Charyn Canyon from Almaty with a small group, English guide, canyon walks, geology, scenic stops, and lunch for $50.

“super good experience! Our guide Assem is a very nice girl, her service is caring and helpful. She is very warm person with quick response. Fluent English speaking. Pick up on time. But what stands out most is the meal!! I didn’t expect a group tour meal should be this high quality. We had lunch in a local farmhouse with farm meat. Simple but super delicious. The food quality there reminds me of how shitty industrial meat are! Three Canyons are all beautiful! I wish we could hike more for the second canyon. This tour is perfect for people who don’t want to have “military trip”. It’s more relaxing.”
