Top Day Trip with Joinme Asia, Almaty

We had made a day trip with Joinme Asia to Charyn Canyon/River, Moon Canyon, Black Canyon, Kaindy Lake and Kolsai Lake. The tour guide/guide Abuhair was very good, informative, friendly, made a good mood for the very long day (4.45 am on departure Almaty / 9.45 pm return Almaty). Also the bus driver was top! We can highly recommend the tour of Joinme Asia, they would book again at any time!

Best experience in Almaty

I joined the trip with a group of about 20 participants in total. Our tour guide Zhana took great care of us together with the driver for the whole day. The tour was well organized with clear instructions at the very beginning as well as at every stop. The scenes in winter give you that winter wonderland experience. Would definitely recommend this tour if you are coming to Almaty.

Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes...

Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes were absolutely stunning—peaceful, fresh, and surrounded by beautiful mountains and forests. Kaindy’s sunken trees made the lake feel unique and almost magical, while Kolsai was calm and perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Charyn Canyon was just as impressive, with its dramatic rock formations and incredible views that felt unreal. The whole trip was unforgettable, and the mix of lakes and canyon made it one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. Highly recommended!
