We are a group from Switzerland, Germany, and Russia going to Kamchatka in the Far East of Russia on July 20-31. We can take 5-6 more people with us.
Here is the short information, mode details and route descriptions can be sent by e-mail. Optionally, there will be a 4-5 day trip around Moscow and St. Petersburg on July 15-20.

The Kamchatka Peninsula, in the far east of Russia, is part of the Earth’s Ring of Fire and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 300 volcanoes, including 29 active ones, the virgin nature with moonlike landscapes, fast rivers with salmon and beautiful lakes, where bears can be observed in their natural habitat, attract tourists from all over the world.
The distance between Moscow and Kamchatka is ca. 7 000 km, 9 hours by plane.
The planned route includes 2-3 most picturesque volcanoes, a half-day sea trip in the Pacific and a short rafting trip with fishing and bears. Additionally, helicopter excursions are possible to the Valley of Geysers or lakes with bears.
