• Day 2 — Starting sea journey on the board of Kosatka boat

  For the next four days a cosy KOSATKA twin-hull boat will be our home. We will check in for the trip early in the morning on the second day of our stay in Kamchatka. We will meet the crew, including the captain, mate and cook. And then our adventure will start.  

  On our way to the Avachinsky Gulf we will cross the Avachinsky Bay which is one of the largest ice-free bays in the world. It may seem surprising, but just in several hundreds of meters from the coastline we will meet wild seabirds. When we are leaving the bay, we will see “Three Brothers” rocks known as a symbol of Kamchatka. We will also enjoy the view on the Tikhaya Bay, in calm waters of which seamen rest or go fishing at any time of the year.

• Day 8 — Jeeping to Mutnovsky volcano and the Opasny Canyon

  Breakfast.

  We will go jeeping to active Mutnovsky volcano and climb to its crater.

  Breakfast;

  We will go to the Avachinsky Pass or the Vachkazhets mountain range with a stop for swimming in hot springs. Both places are amazing in their own fashion, but they are entirely different. The Pass divides two active volcanoes, Avachinsky and Koryaksky, while the Vazhkazhets mountain range is among the oldest mountains in the peninsular. We will decide on which place to visit depending to actual weather conditions on that day;
