Snowy Kamchatka

In the morning we leave Paratunka and go to the Lighthouse Cape, famous for the oldest lighthouse in the Far East.

First, we will drive cars, and then we will transfer to sleds attached to snowmobiles — we will drive 12 km in one direction on them.

On the way, we will explore Avacha Bay and stop at the observation deck with a view of the Three Brothers rocks protruding from the water.

At the end of the route, we will find ourselves at the top of a 200-meter Lighthouse Cape.

There will be an endless Pacific Ocean ahead, and the cliffs of the eastern coast on the sides.

On the cape you will see an old striped lighthouse: it was built in 1897 and is still in operation.

After a short tour, we will board snowmobiles again and go down to the shore of Avacha Bay. Here we will set a table with salmon and caviar snacks, sweets and hot tea.

After resting, we will go back to the hotel along the familiar route.

This day can be devoted to independent exploration of Kamchatka, relaxing holidays or winter fun.

On the territory of the Laguna base there is an ice rink, a tubing slide, a new sauna with a steam room and a font.

In the evening, you can cook dinner on the barbecue and sit around the campfire.

Optionally, you can book an additional helicopter tour "Flyby of the Mutnovsky, Gorely and Ksudach volcanoes" or spend this day on Mount Frosty.

Please note that helicopter tours in Kamchatka are unsafe. This is evidenced by the aviation chronicles of 2024 and previous years. We recommend that you cancel the flight and consider other options for additional excursions.

Malkin springs is one of the most famous therapeutic baths in Kamchatka.

Charles Clark himself, the navigator and assistant to Captain Cook, swam in them.

At the beginning of the 19th century, there was a hospital here, and now there is a sanatorium and recreation center.

The water from the Malkin springs collects in several small lakes, but it cools down in the cold, so in winter guests swim in a specially built outdoor pool.

To have a good rest and relax, it is better to come to Malki for the whole day: to warm up in hot mineral water, plunge into an icy river, walk around the neighborhood and admire the white landscape.

It will take a couple of hours to get to the springs by car.

The group of volcanoes closest to Petropavlovsk is called "home volcanoes", they will be visible from the airport.

We will explore two of the highest of them: the active Koryaksky (3,456 m) and Avachinsky (2,741 m).

To do this, we will go in a snowmobile sled to the Avachinsky pass, which is located between volcanoes, the length of the path is 55 km.

Here we will ride through the snow-white expanses and see the giants from a close distance.

During one of the ancient eruptions, a small twin—topped Camel mountain rose on the pass.

Its height is only 200 meters, but it offers panoramic views of Avacha Bay, Petropavlovsk and both neighboring volcanoes.

If desired, you can climb the mountain: in winter it is much easier to do this than in summer, because snowmobiles cover part of the way and you only have to walk about 100 meters.

At the end of the tour, we will set a table with hot tea and snacks, take a break and return to Paratunka.

On this day, you will get to know the capital of Kamchatka, Petropavlovsk.

We will take a tour of the center of the port city, tell you about its heroic history, and show you our main attractions.

In the Volcanarium interactive museum, you will feel samples of frozen lava, examine them under a microscope, and the staff will demonstrate on mock-ups what volcanoes are like, how the eruption process goes, and how lava caves are arranged.

For panoramic views, we will stop at Petrovskaya Sopka, a 250—meter-high hill in the very center of the city.

It offers views of the seaport, Avacha Bay and the cone of the Vilyuchinsky volcano.

At the end of the tour, we will go to the fish market for delicacies and to the souvenir shop for Kamchatka gifts.

Breakfast and departure from the hotel.

We will arrange a transfer to the airport for you and say goodbye.

But let's hope to see you soon!
