We work with travel agencies under a contract

Kamchatka is one of the most beautiful and most interesting regions Russia, but many travelers doubt whether this trip will live up to their expectations. We share with you the most common stereotypes about Kamchatka.

1. A trip to Kamchatka is only for the rich

Of course, this is by no means cheap destination for recreation, but the price is quite comparable to traveling to Europe. If we talk about active foreign analogue tours, then it is worth comparing prices for Kamchatka travel with tours to Iceland, Costa Rica, Venezuela, South Africa etc. However, you may have better luck with special offers on flights. They can be purchased for 20 thousand if you take care of the purchase in advance.

1. The Valley of Geysers was destroyed by a landslide

This is a very common stereotype, despite the fact that the Valley of Geysers is still one of the most visited places in Kamchatka. In addition, do not forget that Kamchatka is not only the Valley of Geysers, but also a large number of diverse, completely unique volcanoes, boat trips and thermal springs.

1. Active holidays in Kamchatka are only suitable for experienced tourists

In reality, even climbing volcanoes is done by everyone: adults, children and the elderly. In addition, you always have the opportunity to choose programs that exclude overnight stays in the field and long treks. They are suitable for those who are not ready to give up the benefits of civilization.

1. It is dangerous to vacation in Kamchatka

To begin with, it should be noted that today the Kamchatka Territory has the lowest crime rate, at least among all regions Far East. All tourism programs include medical insurance in the price (even with helicopter evacuation from hard-to-reach places), equipment for carrying out active tours, guides and instructors are re-certified annually. Therefore, do not be afraid: a trip to Kamchatka is nothing more dangerous journey than going fishing in the Moscow region.

1. Unpredictable weather can ruin your entire trip

Of course, there is a certain “weather” factor, but don’t despair. When developing tours, the sequence of certain excursions or activities may change in accordance with weather conditions.

We invite you to a winter fairy tale! A tour to Karelia for schoolchildren includes: Kivach waterfall, winter fun in the air with mischievous brothers - snow bells Lumi Kelloja, meeting sled dogs, a comic competition “Come on, sleigh, run yourself ...”, “Karelian towns - “Kyyukkya” ", sled dog rides, gift giving, interactive program "Ice Age", snow graffiti "Karelian Fairy Tales", search engine game "Secret paths to Santa Claus...", holiday program "Visiting Karelian Father Frost and Snow Maiden Lumine" at shore of Lake Onega, visit to the National Museum of the Republic of Karelia, educational program “WINTER STORIES” at the Museum fine arts, excursion around Petrozavodsk, fabulous gallery “Doll House”.
