What to expect

Our Big Almaty Lake + Apple Orchard Tour starts with a meeting at 06:00–06:15 at Baitursynov 100 and a comfortable transfer to the mountains. We arrive at Big Almaty Lake, where you will enjoy breathtaking turquoise water, panoramic mountain views, fresh air, and free time for photos and short walks — with direct car access to the lake (no hiking required). After that, we visit a beautiful apple orchard, where you can relax, take aesthetic photos, and experience the natural atmosphere of Almaty’s famous apple gardens. The tour combines two scenic locations in one comfortable half-day trip and finishes with arrival back to the city at 11:00–11:15 with unforgettable impressions

Review for: Big Almaty Lake

Worth half a day, Big Almaty Lake is so beautiful with its turquoise water. perfect spot for taking photos. the crisp mountain air sets the perfect background to relax. We were also lucky that we were able to enter the Alma Ata Gorge, this is requires a bit of a hike but the views are worth it. bring sensible shoes with good traction. the tour guide was very attentive and spoke in clear english, even answered additional questions from us even on topics not related to the tour.

Review for: Big Almaty Lake

Worth it if you dont want to spend 5-6 hours hiking so you can enjoy at the lake itself. However there were other stops like the gorges which to me were not that worth it, wish there was more time at the Big Almaty Lake itself

Review for: Big Almaty Lake

Lovely locations but many issues. Some seatbelts on van broken. Was just told ' That's Kazakhstan '. Driver and cars to lake are terrible. Our guy in white ford ute was simply dangerous and vehicles are old, dodgy. Local issue. We refused to get same ute on return journey. that old beater Pajero broke down. Waited 20mins for another.

Good to know

•Bring warm clothing as the weather in the mountains can change quickly. •Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat in summer. •Carry cash for personal expenses and small shops.
