About the tour: We booked the tour beforehand. We took a long time to choose, and it seemed different than others, but when we arrived, we were told that a storm could come up in two days and we may just not leave the valley (Later we learned that the weather can change within two hours). We were placed in a 3 room apartment (warehouse), wooden bunk beds with very thin mattresses... It was impossible to sleep or lie on them. Okay it would have been in the cabins as planned, but we don't know and won't find out.
Now about the trip, breakfast, lunch and dinner, Dmitry paid for himself.
We drove every day according to the standard schemes of the local travel experts, the pass, the sopka 1100 meters, the Ocean, added were the springs at Malki ...
Otherwise it is interesting, beautiful, the nature is very inspiring, Kamchatka is really impressive...
But it was not that vacation which we planned. No riding on snowmobiles (you are taken on a snowmobile, in a sledge, special sledges that are attached to the snowmobile), we did not see exactly what we came for. So if you go to ride them this tour does not suit you (really, we did not know, so would go themselves).
We paid 68000, for two people 136000.
A day we ate 1000-1500 per person.
We lived in spartan conditions, sorry, but the apartment-warehouse is not suitable (for 136000 per couple).
On the basis of all I put 3 out of 5.
BUT I would think three times next time whether to fly tours or not.
Although I would not fly, but plan everything myself.

About the tour: Amazing Kamchatka is the tour I chose to experience one of the most extraordinary places on Earth - the Kamchatka region.
I liked the fact that the trip included the main attractions, and in 9 days you could enjoy the beauty of forests and valleys on rafting on the river Bystraya, see how bears fish and fish themselves, or bask in the sun in the boat, looking at the amazing scenery that opened from the river.
Next three days were no less busy - we had fun cruises to the sea lions, fishing (even I never went fishing and did not like it, but felt such a joy from the first fish I caught), and trips around the bays, admiring the coastal waterfalls, cliffs, volcanoes, and lighthouses. And of course, swimming in the vast open Pacific Ocean.
We ate fresh fish almost every day, skillfully prepared in many different ways by our guide Dmitriy. His culinary abilities were highly appreciated by everybody!
And finally we were left with the volcanoes - the power and strength of which aroused awe.
We visited the most lively and fire-breathing volcano Mutnovsky, more quiet volcano Gorely and majestic Avachinsky. You should be ready to be amazed by the waterfall on Vilyuchinsky volcano and the canyon and waterfall on Gorely. We should be ready that this part of the trip will not be easy. Miles of the way with rucksacks, climbing to the summits, overcoming yourself waited here, but what you feel when you have reached your goal is incomparable! Just unearthly landscapes open in front of you, mesmerizing with their power, color and strength!
Such natural beauty is difficult to find anywhere else.
Also, you must be prepared for the fact that the living conditions will be the closest to nature: overnight stays in tents on the ocean bay and the river, in a wooden house at the foot of the volcano. Comfort is not found here, but closest to nature. Just imagine: to admire the brightest stars and to listen to the ocean noise, to warm yourself by the fire, to see off the sun on a volcano and to gaze at the picturesque sunset for a long time, to take a shower on a waterfall and to bathe in thermal springs, to eat freshly caught fish in the wild and to drink clean and cool water from streams or glaciers.
Kamchatka is a harsh land, but it is so charming and beguiling again and again!
Thanks to Dmitry, our guide, who became our guide to this pristine and incredibly beautiful land, adapted the program to the weather conditions, helped us to believe in their endurance and strength)) And made us fall in love with the beauty of Kamchatka. Read more
