Incredible Kamchatka

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY- MUTNOVSKY AND GORELY VOLCANOES- AVACHINSKY VOLCANO- VALLEY OF GEYSERS


Highlights

Kamchatka is one of the most pristine destinations in the world. Untouched by civilization, it sees only a handful of visitors every year. This is one of our most unique tours, showing you Kamchatka’s volcanoes, geysers, and remote mountain views.  You will spend most of your time hiking, trekking, horseback riding, and rafting in the stunning landscape.

Kamchatka's weather is constantly changing. It can be glorious one day and rainy the next, causing some helicopter tours to be delayed or cancelled. The helicopter excursion to the Valley of the Geysers does not operate during May and June. September and October see a good deal of snow, preventing some itineraries that operate during the summer from operating during this time.

Logistical details

Your driver will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. Your first day will be for resting in preparation of the journey ahead. Day two, you will board a truck for the ride to the wondrous Mutnovsky and Gorely volcanoes. Upon returning you will have the option of staying in your hotel and exploring Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, on your own, or taking an excursion to the famous Valley of the Geysers. On the last two days you will enjoy the Avacha Volcano.
