The Best of Kamchatka All in One Trip - Bears and Volcanoes (KK-06)

OVERVIEW

DETAILED ITINERARY

INCLUDED

This truly unique tour for wild life and nature lovers will take place only once a year – in August, the best time to observe so many natural species in one place. You will travel to Kurilskoye Lake, which is one of Kamchatka's trademark destinations, situated in the crater of an ancient volcano. The lake is recognized as the biggest spawning-ground for salmon in the world, and you will see the massive pink salmon swimming, as well as amazing scenes of bears fishing. When they come to feast on fresh fish, brown bears - the largest in the world - are pretty safe to watch at this time of the year, as they are too busy to pay attention to people.

As well as all this, the numerous active volcanoes and geysers are of course essential points in our tour. Indulge yourself by bathing in a hot thermal spring, walk within the crater of an active volcano, and enjoy the breathtaking view of Kamchatka from the helicopter on your way to the famous valley of the geysers! The wild and enchanting land of Kamchatka never ceases to surprise and if there is ever a time to discover this amazing piece of Earth, it is in August. So why not this August?..

CUSTOMERS REVIEW


	If you only go to Kamchatka once and like hiking - do this trip. Dropped off and picked up by helicopter and spent 2 weeks trekking through wilderness visited by 1-2 groups a year, so don't expect a well trodden path. Great variety from mud baths, hot spring baths, river crossings, walking in living volcano craters, swimming in the ocean and climbing to a glorious blue crater lake at the end and the odd bear, of course. Quite an expedition but with an armed ranger, cook, guide/translater and Russian hospitality - well looked after. Martin Our guide, interpreter & cook were very energetic and helpful.The food quality during the trek was high and plentiful. The pleasant surprise availability of wooden cabins and UNESCO scientist huts accommodation at some sights. MI-8 helicopter transfers gave stunning views of the Krontsky area! The bus driver was very willing to stop for photo stops.The Petropavlovsk Hotel staff were very approachable and the atmosphere was good.The trip to the museum and fish market are not to be missed! The Aeroflot service was faultless on both the outbound and inbound flights. Also - the weather was exceptionally good! Victor Tse We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure around Russia, so many thanks for all your help. Kazan was beautiful and the train was a lot of fun. Our highlight though was definitely the advenuture trip. Seeing bears in the wild was incredible! Kate Richards
