5.00As a female solo traveler. Absolutely fantastic, hells gate isn’t really that famous but it definitely worth it, if your someone who needs to stretch there legs! Favourite part was the bike ride, local stories and canyon walk (in hells gate national park). There was a fun even an impromptu rock climb I added in mid-ride! I was so happy to had tour guide Kelvin two days in a row! Never needed to think about my safety, once!
Hells Gate is worth going to!

5.00As a female solo traveler. Absolutely fantastic, hells gate isn’t as famous as other attractions but it definitely worth it! Particularly if you are someone who needs to stretch there legs after all the flights! The tour is a series of mini tours, where the specialist tour takes you for the relevant section and this companies tour guide gets you between places, coordinates times and makes sure your always in safe hands. I was so happy to had tour guide Kelvin two days in a row! Never needed to think about my safety, once! Favourite part was the bike ride, local stories and canyon walk (in hells gate national park). There was a fun even an impromptu rock climb I added in mid-ride! Also, got a free t-shirt!

5.00The Hell’s Gate and Lake Naivasha tour was an incredible and well-balanced experience. Hell’s Gate National Park offered stunning landscapes, towering cliffs, and scenic gorges, making the cycling and walking activities both exciting and memorable. The park’s unique environment and wildlife sightings made it feel truly special. Lake Naivasha was perfect, calm, scenic, and relaxing. The boat ride allowed us to see hippos and a wide variety of bird species while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the lake. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic day trip that I would highly recommend to nature lovers and adventure seekers.
