Tourists reviews of vacations in the Far East - Page 2

5 wonderful days in Kamchatka! This was our first experience visiting such a remote region, and everything was perfectly organized right from the booking stage. Thanks to Big Country, we’re already planning our next tour for September. Kamchatka is stunning, awe-inspiring, full of mosquitoes, but incredibly delicious and unforgettable.

Overall, I really enjoyed the trip. There was one excursion planned for each day, and everything promised was delivered. The only change was the boat trip, which had to be postponed due to the weather but it still happened in the end. The guides and drivers were friendly and patient, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I initially thought five days would be too short, but it turned out to be more than enough for me. Highly recommended.

It was just great!

The tour was booked back in the fall of 2023, and I was drawn to the rich and diverse itinerary of the 7-day Kamchatka Express tour. We were greeted at the airport and taken to the hotel. Each evening, we received detailed information about the next day’s activities. Our guide, Irina, provided thorough explanations about the excursions, including departure times and, most importantly, advice on how to dress and what essentials to bring — a crucial detail in Kamchatka! The excursions were conducted in jeeps with outstanding driver-guides who were both highly professional and incredibly friendly. Every trip was absolutely fantastic! The hotel accommodations were also excellent!

Kamchatka is magnificent.

I really enjoyed the tour. We visited many incredible locations, including stunning volcanoes, a waterfall, and the ocean. The food was delicious and filling – we even got to enjoy caviar and fish. The hotel was well-equipped and provided all the necessary amenities.

A well-organized tour with the chance to experience the unique nature of Sakhalin and Iturup, topped off with unforgettable picnics by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk.

Thank you for a captivating trip to Kunashir! I got exactly what I was hoping for: stunning views, hiking, and swimming in the sea, lake, river, and thermal springs. The weather treated us to a full range of experiences, from pleasant sunshine to a storm on the way back. A huge thank you to our guide, Mikhail, for his care, patience, attentiveness, and the great atmosphere he created throughout our stay on Kunashir.

Thrilling

Kamchatka is stunning, and the tour showcases its full splendor. Every detail has been carefully planned, ensuring both a well-balanced pace and excellent safety measures.

I absolutely loved the Sakhalin tour! The culinary experiences and sightseeing along the bays and coastline were truly unforgettable. It’s such a fascinating region, rich in delicious seafood. I wish I had more time to explore and visit its charming small towns.

I absolutely loved it! This was my first trip to Kamchatka, and everything was flawlessly organized. The excursions were fascinating and well-planned, with knowledgeable guides.
