Is it possible to see the maximum in Kamchatka in just a week? It is — and it’s not difficult at all! The «Enjoy Kamchatka» tour is a combination of freeride with heli-ski and drop-offs by snowmobile.

We will explore the foothills and the slopes of several volcanoes at once. We will ski down to the Pacific Ocean coast, where we will have salmon and red caviar just to enhance the emotions from the breathtaking freeride. Après-ski we will swim in a hot thermal open-air pool.

Answers to frequently asked questions
Is it possible to arrive before the start of the tour?


Yes, you can arrive earlier if you wish. Please let us know when booking a tour, that you are planning to arrive earlier, and we will help you find accommodation and plan your stay.

What kind of medical insurance is required?


The insurance must be valid throughout the entire duration of the tour and cover the following: «freeride / off-piste skiing or snowboarding / skiing or snowboarding in non-marked areas». Merely stating «Mountain skiing» will not suffice! Medical insurance is mandatory for all tour participants.

What is the time difference with Kamchatka?


With Moscow +9 hours (if it is 12:00 in Moscow, it is 21:00 in Kamchatka).

How is the level of skiing determined in advance?


In the combined group, we can never guarantee a certain level of skiing. We base our judgement on the answers provided by our guests to the following questions: How long have you been skiing? How often? Where do you ski? How can you define your level of skiing? But the answers are always subjective and everyone can interpret the questions differently.

How many guides accompany a group?


Groups up to 4 people — 1 guide; 5–9 people — 2 guides; 10–15 people — 3 guides; 16–19 people — 4 guides.

What to do on free days?


We have a variety of additional seasonal activities not included in your main tour. Please contact us for more details.

What is the best way to buy airplane tickets to join a tour?


When buying airplane tickets, it is important to consider the time difference between the point of departure and Kamchatka. For example, if your tour starts on 01 April, it means that you need to be in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on 01 April. And it means that you need to depart from Moscow, Novosibirsk or Irkutsk on 31 March. From Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin or Blagoveshchensk, you can depart on the same date, provided there is a convenient flight. You can arrive at any hour of the day or night of your tour start date, or earlier. Next-day (after the start date) arrival is not permitted, irrespective of the tour programme. Depending on the weather, the tour schedule may change and you risk missing the start of the tour, which is not refundable. The last date of the tour is the return flight date. You may fly back on this date or any time after. If returning to Moscow, you will land on the same date you departed from Kamchatka. The same applies to other cities in Russia, with a difference of one hour.

What are my additional expenses when in Kamchatka?


Your additional expenses may be alcohol, lunch on a free day, caviar, fish you may buy on the market for yourself or as a souvenir. You will also most likely want to buy presents for yourself and family and friends.

I would like to travel with a partner, but he (she) does not ski. What can you suggest?


We custom-design tours for guests who do not ski or snowboard in accordance with their interests so that they still spend a lot of time with those who do: in the evenings or on certain trips. Many our guests have availed of this option!

What to do in bad weather in winter?


It all depends on how bad the weather actually is. Sometimes you can take an additional tour with activities that do not include skiing or replace heli-ski with snowmobile drop-offs. If skiing is not possible, then there are tours by snowmobile or by car. For those who are ready for a completely unforgettable experience, we can offer surfing or a city tour and a visit to the unique interactive volcano museum «Vulcanarium». If you remain indoors, you can join cooking master classes to prepare Kamchatka delicacies, or interesting meetings about Kamchatka travels, history, etc.
