Kamchatka without tents and backpacks

After breakfast, we will go on a car-walking trip to the lakes and waterfalls of the Vachkazhets mountain range. Trekking is simple and gives you the opportunity to fully enjoy the beautiful views of the mountain lake and towering sharp peaks. 

The landscape of Vachkazhets is noticeably different from the areas of active volcanism, it itself resembles rather the Swiss Alps. There are many subalpine flowers on its slopes. And the panorama of Lake Takhkoloch against the backdrop of mountains will not leave anyone indifferent. Vachkazhets is one of the most beautiful places of Kamchatka's pristine nature.

After a great day, a campsite with a hot pool awaits us.

Getting up very early: today is an even more eventful day, we need to do everything in time. 

Off-road transport will take us to the foot of Gorely volcano.

The ascent to Gorely volcano takes an average of 3-4 hours. We go light. Above, from the edge of the crater, we see a magnificent view of the Vilyuchinsky volcano. A huge crater with a lake at the bottom opens up under your feet, dropping down hundreds of meters. This epic sight will impress even the most sophisticated travelers. 

After descending from the volcano, we will have a lunch snack and move to Mutnovskaya Geopower.

Mutnovskaya GEOP is a unique power plant located in Kamchatka in the valley of Mutnovsky volcano at around 780 meters above sea level and using geothermal heat to generate electrical energy. 

Here we will visit the so-called Small Valley of Geysers, where jets of water vapor and gases break through the fumaroles.

We are going to another unique place — the famous Snow Dogs kennel.

We will see reindeer, plunge into the mysterious way of life of the indigenous people of Kamchatka, taste venison shurpa with Koryak tortillas, and also take unique photos in national Koryak costumes. 

And for an additional fee, you will have the opportunity to ride a dog sled, despite the fact that it is summer.

Next, transfer to Khalaktyrsky beach with its black sand. We walk, enjoying the breath of the ocean and the sound of the waves. It's a very atmospheric place. The most desperate can swim in the rather cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. 

We'll spend the night glamping, enjoying an unforgettable sunset with the sound of waves.

Today we will go to the foot of the active volcanoes Avachinskaya and Koryakskaya Sopka. These two giants are the first to greet everyone arriving in Kamchatka. 

Our path will run along the bed of a Dry river, along the way we will make several stops for photo shoots. At the base camp, we will be greeted by European greeting cards, they are also Beringian ground squirrels. These are small animals that live in colonies in mountainous areas and at the foot of volcanoes, characterized by a good-natured disposition and excellent appetite.

Avachinsky volcano is quite difficult to climb, only the ascent to the top takes from 5 to 8 hours, or even more, it all depends on general physical fitness and the weather. We're going to Camel Mountain.

This is a mountain of volcanic origin, an extrusion that appeared about 5,000 years ago during the eruption of the Avacha volcano. 

Viscous lava was “squeezed out” not from the crater, but from underground, piling up in the form of a dome. Over time, the wind destroyed the rocks, and the top of the mountain became like camel humps, hence the name. Enjoy the beautiful views of the volcanoes on the mountain. 

And if the weather and physical condition allow, we will make an impressive ascent to the observation deck of the Avacha volcano, located at an altitude of 2000 meters. At this point there is a bunker with a repeater that transmits data on seismic activity.

In the evening we will return to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and check into a guest house. Rest.

Rafting on the Bystrica River is an exciting adventure. Mountain landscapes give way to forest landscapes, and flocks of salmon can be seen through the water. Ducks swim along the shores, and white—shouldered eagles can often be seen in the sky, and bears can be seen off the coast. Fishing enthusiasts can try their hand at fishing for salmon, char and grayling. 

At the end of the rafting trip, we will have a delicious lunch and drive to the Malkin springs. We will have a swim in hot springs, and those who wish will have a contrasting swim in the cold Klyuchevka river.

After the briefing on the boat, we leave Avacha Bay. 

Stop near the rocks "Three brothers". We come closer to inspect the frozen giants. We continue moving south, passing by rocky shores and beautiful coves: Salvation, Dangerous, Vilyuchinskaya and Zhirovaya. 

Here, with a high degree of probability, we can meet killer whales, dolphins and humpback whales. 

Lunch on board the boat.

Fishing awaits us after lunch. In addition to Pacific salmon, these waters are home to flounder, terpug, sea bass and white-throated halibut. But the bay is interesting not only for the abundance of fish: bears come to its shore during the salmon spawning season, and at the entrance to the bay at Cape Kekurny there is a rookery of sea lions. 

Here we will enjoy the beauty and take photos worthy of National Geographic magazine.

We'll return to the city in the evening, find a cozy cafe and have a farewell dinner.

Attention! You can extend your trip by 1-2 days. For example, you can book additional excursions or just spend the day at souvenir shops and fish markets.
