Overview

Harvesting Experience with Locals in Babolsar

Babolsar is a coastal flat land located between the Alborz Mountains and the Caspian Sea. It has intrigued many tourists and travelers all around the world. There is a famous river called Babol Rud that begins from Alborz, flows through neighboring cities of Babol and Babolsar and ends in the Caspian Sea. Its wonderfully green riverside has created many leisure opportunities like boat riding, beach park and soccer field.

Accompany us boating over this graceful river to the pleasing wharf next to the Caspian Sea. On this short boat ride, you can see the city’s symbol which is a magnificent metal bridge with admirable architecture. It’s built by German and Swedish engineers before the Second World War. If you like to feel nature a bit more stimulating, let’s mount and try the zip line to experience flying over the fresh Babol Rud River.

We can even make it a bit more educational; Being in Babol, you will be exposed to the soothing rice farms. The charming scenery around might amaze you and in the right season (August to November) you can learn how they reap rice with hooks and experience it yourself like a true local. Babolsar is one of the most significant centers of seafood in Iran. Various fishes and caviar are produced here to be exported in large amounts to all around the world. The north of Iran is famous for its mouthwatering dishes and nothing could be better than having colorful traditional foods made with organic northern products.

Finally, the pacifying orchards await you to pick fruits right off the trees and roam around the gardens. Another great activity for you would be a visit to the Eucalyptus, Alder and Spine forests. You will enjoy walking in the sabulous canebrakes near the sea, swimming in segregated beaches with lifeguards and step on the same old wooden bridge that Nasir din Shah (1831) once passed. Don’t miss this exceptional journey.

Excellent service and support Excellent Service ! i am surprised by the reactivity and the will to help and find quickly hotels, flights and solutions for me, even though the holiday season makes things challenging. Chatting through whatsapp made things super smooth and extremely easy. I was interacting with two people from TAP Persia, Rojin and Sohrab. They were just amazing ! They are the ones who reached out to me directly and interacted instantly with me day and night. Great job guys !I used earlier a different company but i was disappointed, i strongly recommend TAP Persia .Keep up the great work !

Fabulous agency - can't recommend more highly for travellers to Iran I decided to go to Iran at short notice and was only able to do so thanks to the exceptional service provided by TAP Persia.What further complicated was my ignorance of being in the middle of Nowruz and the impact that has on flight availabilities etc.In the first instance, that revolved around speedy obtainment of a visa as well as other aspects such as insurance and mah card via their great-value welcome pack.Thereafter, all of my accommodation, tour guides and transport between destinations was arranged by the beyond-wonderful Mahgol with tremendous efficiency, patience and responsiveness - I could not praise nor thank her enough.Communications are as good as can be.With my lack of Farsi and, more specifically, incomprehension of the alphabet, doing things in this manner was the only way to go.All of the guides - Fatemah, Amin, Fardin, Moji, Peyman and Masoud - were fantastic being passionate, knowledgeable, smarter-than-average bears and very nice people.Rasool, Mehrnoush and Sohrab in the office were also very helpful.I would say though that, to help them (especially) to try to draft your itinerary as much as possible before approaching them as this will save time i.e. places, days in each, hotel price-range then trust them to select the latter for you.

Great Service 🙂 TApersia accompanied us well on the way to our Iran visa. My wife's visa took 2 weeks longer than mine (German EU & I'm Swiss). Our questions were always answered quickly by the nice Mahgol via WhatsApp. We think she did her best for our visa processing. After a while, we were also asked how we were doing! Nice, support and promptness are at the highest level.

Solo Saudi female in <3 IRAN <3 10/10. It's hard for me to be succinct, but I will try. I am a Saudi who has been impressed, curious, and infatuated by Iranian culture(s), Iron Age history, Islamic & other religious histories, architecture, and geography for over 15 years. Yum, and food. I wanted initially to continue my Persian language study at Dehkhoda Institute, however student visas take much longer than other visas to process, and I would likely miss my class during the processing time. I was disheartened and scrambled through my Google bookmarks looking for old travel that I had saved over the years in my Iran folder. 😉 TAP Persia was bookmarked numerous times and I quickly applied for a tourist visa. Hey, I can still practice some Persian as a tourist, right? THE PROCESS WAS SO EASY. So smooth! Mahgol deserves all the praise and recognition for bringing relief to my anxious-self (because I had already long-ago booked my airline tickets and took time off work!), and she walked me through all the steps in a timely manner and with competence and grace. Even during the first week of Norouz and Ramadan, I got a friendly update and advice -- got my tourist visa within 5 or 6 days (the Ministry was closed for Ramarouz, but WOW that was still quick). I cried from happiness and surprise... Thank you thank you. I will be in Iran April to mid-May. Originally I just registered for TAP Persia welcome package + visa help, but now I'm pretty curious about signing up for one or 2 of their tours now. I am beyond impressed and excited. This travel company, Mahgol, & this team already made me feel safe and like I'm going home, and I imagine with their business practice, will prosper for many years down the road. Thank you so much. Someone please remind me to update this post with photos once I arrive to Iran <3

Iranvisum Ich habe mein Visa für den Iran über TAP Persia beantragt, da der normale Weg zu kompliziert war und sehr viele potentielle Fehler birgt. Ich kann den Service definitiv empfehlen. Alles ist sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Der Preis für diesen Service ist es in meinen Augen definitiv Wert. Auch der Kontakt nach der Beantragung über WhatsApp war sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und hilfreich.

something we take for granted

Great guides. Great plantation. price very reasonable. We had a great time and learned more about Iran. The private tour consisted of a history lesson on the Iran cultivation industry. There were multiple tasting rice and kebabs with fish that tasted like heaven. The guide was very polite but a fast talker. Would recommend to anyone even a slight interest in moist and humid weather.

very informative and tasty tour!

Have you ever tried cooking rice with milk? It tasted wonderful. We asked for a real adventure and our guide took it really seriously. It was the best meal I have had for many years. The experience with reap rice in the village was glorious. The plant's maturation, different types of plants, harvest, distribution in quality, and how they pack them was nice to know. It was a super fun day with an even better company. I highly recommend doing this.

if you want to learn about rice, this is your tour!

Lifetime experience! We learned so much about the northern life of Iranians and our guide was simply fantastic! They get you to the Caspian Sea for a picnic if you are down with it and try the zip-line. Get ready to fall in love with this culture.

unforgettable experience

Fully recommend this trip to everyone who is interested in some adventure. A passionate and well-informed tour guide was with us all the time just to give us English translations and let us communicate with the locals. Do It ;)))

A superb experience

Our two days harvesting experience was fantastic! The tour guide is knowledgeable, patient, and has a passion for Iran. The translator was clear, concise, and very polite. We were 3 girls in the group as we were spending time in the fields. The trip was a cultural experience to the middle eastern area. The drive to the rice paddy and of it was scenic and quite memorable. Thank you tappersia.
