Great trip to see the nature and exercise at the same time - The trip was great. Our driver & guide Patrick was very good. He was always on time, provided us with great insights and was a really warm person. Our hike at Mount Longonot was really a nice experience. Our hiking guide Joshua knew a lot of the area, flora & fauna. We enjoyed his company while hiking. Boat ride in the lake was also great. We saw hippos, lots of different animals and birds. Finally, biking at the Hells Gate national park was fun and we saw zebras, giraffes and many other animals from close by. Our guide Robert knew a lot and was very helpful.

Brilliant guides and exciting journey - A very dynamic and exciting journey. Guides were wonderful. Patrick, who took the driver's part, was funny, honest and helpful; Robert at Hell's gate was very informative; finally, Joshua at Longonot showed his secret campsite in the crater and shared the nerd-like excitement about hiking, geology and geography that I though only I have. Thank you for such a memorable experience, guys ❤️

Lovely weekend - We did a lovely private custom tour in Naivasha Area, covering Mt. Longonot, Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate, and the Alkaria Spa in two days. The crew was knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the trip. Fully recommended as a weekend getaway from Nairobi or a short add on to your longer safari trip.

Volcano, lake, safari and bike in 2 days! - A great experience, with an attentive guide for climbing Mont Longomot, lots of beautiful things to see on Lake Navaisha and a pleasant bike safari. It's varied, a bit sporty but affordable.

Great couple of days - The tour was great with a lot of different experiences packed into a day and a half. The volcano is a great sight and seeing hippos from a boat and giraffes from a bike is a unique experience. Driver and guide were friendly and flexible.

Recommended - We had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guides Frank and Danish were very welcoming and helpful. Frank went with us on both the days to hike Mount Longonot and bike in Hell’s Gate National Park. He provided us plenty of information e.g. about local beliefs, types of animals in the national parks etc. Overall, we really enjoyed both the days.

Good alternative to safari - Very scenic. Nice hike and guides. Overnight hotel; clean but right next to big road and away from any business. Impossible to leave to explore the town from there.

An exciting experience - This tour is cheaper than similar tours. Our tour guide and driver George is nice and helpful, and always arrive punctual. The hike at Mount Longonot is physically demanding but the view is great, the guide Robert is also very helpful and led us through the challenging parts in the hike. The hotel is old but still decent for a short night of stay. Our day at Hell’s Gate is not quite enjoyable as we went on a rainy day and our guide is in a rush. Overall it is still an exciting and value experience.
