Here, hot water, heated deep in the bowels of the Earth, freely pours out onto the surface forming fonts of different temperatures.

The uniqueness of this place is that they are located on the left bank of the cold Klyuchevka river and lovers of bath procedures, after heating in hot water, can dive into the cold river.

In the tour program on the date of arrival on 17.09, rafting along the Bystraya River is not performed and is replaced by an excursion with swimming in the Malkin thermal springs, with an exotic lunch after swimming, due to adverse weather (off-season).

During rafting, very often we see bears walking along the shore and looking out for their main prey — salmon.

The rafting takes place along a calm section of the river and therefore it is not necessary to wear hockey helmets, we will limit ourselves only to life jackets.

The main essence of our rafting is relaxation and unity with the unique Kamchatka nature, although those who took up spinning will certainly think about something else.

Depending on the season, you can catch sockeye salmon, pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, char, grayling, and fish.

After enjoying the views, we move to the edge of the next crater.

Until 2010, there was also a lake of fantastic turquoise color, but after the start of the gas eruption, it disappeared.

Continuing the tour, we drive up to the rocky shore of Cape Mayachny, on which the Petropavlovsk Lighthouse, the oldest on the Pacific coast, is located.

Tourists call this place "The Edge of the World".

Having felt the breath of the ocean, we descend to the opposite side of Cape Mayachny, into the Lifeboat Bay.

Here, the majestic "Three Brothers" rocks grow out of the water in front of our eyes. According to legend, these brothers protected their village on the shore from a large ocean wave (Tsunami). 

After taking a little walk along the shore of the bay, you catch yourself thinking that this is the final excursion in our tour. How quickly time flew by, where all these days we were driving jeeps somewhere, climbing mountains, going out into the open ocean and admiring what we saw every time. 

A plan is already maturing on how we will tell our relatives, friends, and colleagues about this trip.
