Aktau and Katutau Mountains: 2-Day Tour from Almaty

BOOK TOUR

Tour Price

We offer a 2-day individual tour from Almaty to the Aktau and Katutau Mountains on SUVs.

The cost of the tour mainly depends on the prices for car rental from Almaty to Altyn-Emel and is due to the long distances, severe off-road conditions in the park causing rapid wear of cars, and the lack of proper transport infrastructure in the region.

You can calculate the price of your trip using the Tour Cost Calculator. Cars seat up to 4 pax. For more people, please send the corresponding number of requests.

Your request will be sent to our email, and we will contact you ASAP.

Please book the tour at least a week in advance.
