Our seven-day Kamchatka Express tour was an incredible experience, leaving us with countless pleasant memories and a schedule packed with fascinating excursions. From soaking in unique thermal spring pools to an unforgettable hike up Mount Camel with our guide Andrey, who introduced us to the true spirit of Kamchatka—snowy, mountainous, unpredictable, and awe-inspiring—it was both safe and thrillingly engaging in Andrey’s capable hands. I particularly enjoyed the city tour, where we discovered many new historical facts thanks to our guide Maria's excellent storytelling. The boat trip was a highlight as well—it amazed me, especially since I had never held a fishing rod before and managed to catch two flounder in a row! The freshly fried fish was the most delicious I’ve ever had, and the crab lunch was absolutely fantastic. Our stay at the Geyser Hotel was comfortable, with its great location close to the city center and good restaurants nearby. The breakfasts were lovingly prepared and delicious. On clear days, we were treated to a breathtaking view of the Avacha Volcano right from the hotel. The entire tour was impeccably organized, and each day felt like a gift, revealing something new and wonderful about this land where Russia begins. A big thank you to the tour team and our incredible guides for making this journey so special!

about provider

Our Kamchatka Express tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Over the course of a week, we truly immersed ourselves in the incredible diversity of the Kamchatka region. We saw geysers, bathed in thermal springs, flew in a helicopter, sailed on a boat, fished, and hiked in the mountains. Catching my first fish was a highlight—I’d never been fishing before and initially held the rod just for a photo! On all the excursions where we explored Kamchatka’s stunning landscapes—not just from the air or water but from the mountains themselves—we were guided by Andrey, a reliable and experienced guide. With him, neither snow nor wind could faze us; he made every summit feel achievable. Maria also gave us a fascinating city tour that immersed us in Kamchatka’s rich historical past. A special treat on our excursions was the delicious herbal tea we were offered—thank you for that thoughtful touch! We stayed at the three-star Geyser Hotel, which was spotlessly clean. The rooms were tidied daily, with fresh towels provided, and breakfast was varied and lovingly prepared—everything was delicious. The hotel staff were always attentive and helpful. We couldn’t be happier with the tour. Kamchatka has a way of staying with you, and I can’t wait to return!
