Tons of nature in one day! - Perfect trip if you love nature!
The trip starts off with a car ride from Nairobi during which our guide Isaac was exceptionally hospitable and eager to share his knowledge about the animals in the park and gave us some interesting trivia about Kenya as well. The car was clean and in really good shape which is not always the case when traveling here.
During the bike ride you get to see a lot of animals in a setting that is more laid back than a driving safari. We saw zebra’s, warthogs and gazelles in abundance. We also stumbled across a buffalo herd and saw some giraffes.
After the bike ride we went on a hike through the gorges where we were able to observe the hot springs. We were accompanied by our second guide Chris during the bike ride/hike who was always pointing out interesting facts and happy to answer our questions.
The boat ride is optional but you should absolutely take it if you appreciate birds and hippos. The boat goes at a calm pace which means you can watch birds with binoculars while moving which is usually not possible in a driving safari.
After the boat trip we ate lunch. The lunch was optional and is at a basic roadside tourist buffet. We ate rice with meat and vegetables.
The combination of the lake, gorges, cliffs, biking safari, hippos and birds is amazing great experience. Organisation, hospitality and logistics were perfect.

Great tour! Inspiration for Lion King with beautiful animals - This was a wonderful tour. Our driver Stephen was very kind and funny and our tour guide at Hell’s Gate was amazing! Gomez was so knowledgeable about all of the trees, mountains, and animals that we saw and also took pictures of us! The bike ride and hike through the gorges was very pleasant. Lots of beautiful animals to see in addition to the landscape being the inspiration for the Lion King!

Best trip ever - I had an amazing time on the Hell’s Gate tour organized by Isaac! From start to finish, everything was well planned and enjoyable. Isaac was professional, friendly, and made sure we were all comfortable and having fun throughout the day.
The bike ride through Hell’s Gate was such a unique adventure — cycling between towering cliffs and spotting wildlife along the way was unforgettable. It was a great mix of light exercise and stunning scenery. Isaac shared interesting facts about the park and kept the group engaged and safe.
After the ride, we headed to Lake Naivasha for a peaceful boat trip, which was the perfect way to end the day. We saw hippos, birds, and even some giraffes near the shore — absolutely magical!
Thank you, Isaac, for such a memorable experience! Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.

Best trip ever !! - Where do I begin ? This trip was super fun and BEAUTIFUL! Be prepared to bike and have the trip of your life. There is so much to see in this park. Isaac and Leki really made me feel comfortable and made this trip go so smoothly. Seeing where lion king got its inspiration is a must ! Pick up time was 7am and Isaac arrived early. I would 100000% recommend anyone go on this trip when you come to Kenya ! This place is amazing in person, pictures cannot do it justice !

Hell’s Gate National Park is a must visit Day Trip from Nairobi - We had a great guide/driver getting us to Hell’s Gate National Park and to the boat ride and back to Nairobi. Isaac made sure we had everything set up and introduced to the bicycle guide and Boat company. Isaac was a wealth of knowledge about Africa, the animals and any question you wanted to ask about Kenya. Isaac even answered our questions about a tour we had the previous day. If you book this tour, ask for Isaac, you will be in great hands.
We had Gomez for our Hell’s Gate bike ride tour. Gomez was equally insightful as Issac was with his focus on the Park. We saw Zebra and Giraffes up close. Being on the park road on bicycles made us feel part of the experience. We saw Fischer's Tower and Central Tower columns and Hell's Gate Gorge. The national park is also home to five geothermal power stations where you can see and hear the steam vents.
The lake and boat ride provides the opportunity to see hippos.
This tour exceeded our expectations making it a must Kenyan experience from Nairobi!

Lovely day in Hell - We had a lovely day out in Hell. Nuru, our driver, was super nice and skilled on the wheel. He took us to a beautiful viewpoint in the rift valley and told us a lot about Nairobi and Kenya.
The bike ride was pleasant and not too exhausting. We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide called Gomez, who showed us around the park and gave us great insight into the park's history and ecosystem.
All in all it was a great experience.
