Martian landscapes, a place for testing lunar rovers, the absence of civilization and communications, and only the harsh beauty of Central Kamchatka await you in this program.
You will meet the Plosky and Ostry Tolbachik volcanoes, see with your own eyes the consequences of the Great Fissure Tolbachik eruption and the Dead Forest, which is being revived against all odds. Walks on solidified volcanic lava, accommodation at the foot of active volcanoes, and a flight to the Valley of Geysers will provide complete immersion in the mysterious world of pristine nature — after all, in this part of Kamchatka it has retained its prehistoric appearance.
IMPORTANT! The program may be subject to changes due to weather conditions.

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