Good day trip to the lake for those short on time - I did a one day tour jam packed with activities, starting the day with a departure from Bishkek, stopping at Burana tower, driving through scenic Boom Gorge, and eventually making it to Issyk-Kul lake. At the lakeside, I saw a once-in-a-life eagle hunter show which thoroughly impressed me. The eagle hunters care for their eagles and dogs like family. Furthermore, the demonstrations they presented were impressive, showed cultural relevance, taught me about local kyrgyz tradition, and rounded out my travel experience. The lake itself was beautiful but there was not enough time to enjoy it, but I was able to take photos and enjoy some time there. We did the long drive back, thanks to the tireless driver. Overall, would recommend for those short on time and want to see the lake and the Eagle show (must book ahead of time and separately).

Very good tour - Nice and competent guide with good English, Nice nature, very convenient car, would recommend this tour

An ideal Issyk-Kul day trip from Bishkek - Great trip, perfect for people who want to see Issyk-Kul lake but don't have much time. The guide was amazing, he told me many interesting anecdotes about Kyrgyzstan and its people. Lunch was great, too.

Amazing Lake - Such an amazing lake where you can relax, swim and enjoy with your friends and family, I know 'cause I experienced it in Lake Issyk-Kul. Crystal clear water surrounded by trees and mountains it's like a piece of heaven. Thanks to our Mr. Aibek our tour guide for recommending this place during our visit at Kyrgyzstan
