1 – Everyone can;
10 – Everest climber.
All our guides have undergone special professional training and certification in accordance with the latest requirements of state accreditation of the Russian Federation. We have a large well-coordinated team working in the region. While some of the guides reveal the secrets of Kamchatka to the tourists, others have time to rest before meeting a new group.
On the first day of the tour our tourists go on an easy trip around Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Khalaktyrsky beach. On one hand, this activity is not too exhausting, but on the other hand, it helps the body to gently adjust to the rhythm. In the evening, after a busy day, the tourists calmly fall asleep and adapt to the change in time zone much faster.
In our tours, you will stay in the same hotel / guesthouse throughout the entire trip. This allows us to flexibly adjust to the weather and change the order of excursions. You won’t need to pack your bags several times and move between different places.
If you go on a tour that involves changing accommodation along the route, bad weather can cause you to miss a lot of activities. Fixed hotel bookings don’t allow changing the sequence of excursions, so you may end up being taken rafting even in pouring rain with snow.
Our guides have satellite phones and walkie-talkies along the route, so even in the most remote places we will not lose contact with civilization. For a group of 8 or more people, we assign 2 guides, so no one will be left unattended.
Along the route we will use transfers on reliable modern shift buses (vakhtovki) provided by a licensed carrier.
We will meet at the airport (see the "Place & time of the group meeting" section) and start our journey with a trip to the coast of the Pacific Ocean. On the famous Khalaktyrsky Beach, we’ll walk on black sand and admire an amazing panorama of the volcanoes. Those who wish can take a swim in the refreshing ocean waters.
In the evening we’ll arrive at the hotel, have dinner and get to know each other.
In the morning we’ll take a trip to the Vachkazhets volcano. Vachkazhets is an extinct volcano, whose ancient eruptions formed large cirques. At the foot of Vachkazhets, there is a beautiful glacial lake and a mountain river forming picturesque cascades of waterfalls. The vegetation in this place is amazing in its diversity: from a stone-birch forest to alpine meadows glowing with all colors of the rainbow. We’ll take a light walk around Vachkazhets to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Today we are going on a boat trip along Avacha Bay, one of the largest bays in the world. A stunning panorama of the Vilyuchinsky, Koryaksky and Avachinsky volcanoes opens up from the water. Get your cameras ready!
At the exit from the bay into the ocean, there are three rocks called the Three Brothers. Once these stone giants served as a landmark for sea vessels, and now they are considered a symbol of Kamchatka. Then we’ll approach Starichkov Island, famous for its numerous bird colonies and sea lion rookeries. If we are lucky, we’ll also meet other local inhabitants — killer whales and dolphins.
Another exciting adventure today is sea fishing. More than three dozen species of fish are found in the waters of the Avacha Bay. We’ll have a royal lunch with freshly caught seafood and go back to the shore.
In the evening we’ll return to the hotel.
We’ll wake up early, have breakfast and start off to the Gorely volcano on an all-terrain vehicle. We’ll climb to the top of the volcano, see the smoking crater, and also look into the caldera, at the bottom of which there is an acidic lake of amazing turquoise color. If the weather is nice, from the top of Gorely you can see the neighboring volcanoes — Mutnovsky and Vilyuchinsky.
We’ll have a picnic with a panoramic view, and then go down. In the evening we’ll return to the hotel and have dinner.
Elevation change: 750 m.
Today we will stay in the city and get to know it. First, we will visit the main sights of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, then dive into the world of volcanoes at the fascinating Vulkanarium museum! Here, in an engaging interactive format, you will learn about the volcanoes of Kamchatka and the world. We will see models of eruptions, visit a lava cave, touch ancient stones, and observe volcanic gases. Afterwards — free time in the city.
We’ll get up early and prepare for an exciting adventure. We are going to climb Avachinsky Volcano — one of the three so-called “home” volcanoes located near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. This is an active volcano, the last eruption of which occurred in 1991. We’ll climb to the crater filled with solidified lava, watch the smoking fumaroles and enjoy the impressive views from the top.
By the evening we’ll return to the hotel and have dinner.
Elevation change: 1,900 m.
After several eventful days—volcanic ridges, open ocean, and the constantly changing landscapes of Kamchatka—this is a good moment to slow down and choose an activity that interests you.
There are many ways to spend the day. For example:
Before heading home, we’ll stop at the fish market to buy delicious gifts for the loved ones. You’ll be transferred to the airport by 10:00–10:30.

The checklist #15 will help you prepare for this trip.

If you go on a tour that involves changing accommodation along the route, bad weather can cause you to miss a lot of activities. Fixed hotel bookings don’t allow changing the sequence of excursions, so you may end up being taken rafting even in pouring rain with snow.
Many companies offer trips to northern Kamchatka the very next day after a long flight, with no acclimatization or adjustment to the new time zone. Such trips are extremely tiring. Our tourists spend the first day walking around Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and visiting Khalaktyrsky Beach, and in the evening they fall asleep peacefully and adapt to the time difference much faster.
The tour includes three meals a day — from dinner on the 1st day to breakfast on the 8th day, except lunches on the 5th and 7th days.
Note: Since this is a group tour, the food is the same for all participants. Unfortunately, we cannot prepare an individual meal for you. If you have an intolerance or allergy to any of the products, please notify the manager in advance. We will pass this information on to the guide or accommodations. However, we kindly ask you to follow up on this matter during the trip.
If you have strict dietary restrictions, we recommend bringing suitable food with you or buy it on the spot.
The program of the tour includes free day for these excursions.
Note: All activities are at extra cost! Ask the manager for current prices.
