What to expect from the trip?
With Kamchatka being a real paradise for naturalists, feel free to consider the Pacific Ocean, mountain rivers, caldera and crater lakes your personal laboratory if you're a fan of nature, of course. The flora and fauna of the Peninsula are indeed unique natural phenomena. We'll meet lots of marine animals such as orcas, humpback whales, gray whales, fin whales, sei whales, minke whales, sperm whales, porpoises, sea lions, spotted seals, sea otters and fur seals, as well as a large amount of birds such as pacific gulls, pelagic cormorants, red-faced cormorants, kittiwakes, pigeon guillemots, thick-billed murres, common murres, old man, hatchets and horned puffins. On land we'll also see eagles, bears, fox, squirrels, marmots and even mountain sheep.
Orcas are traditionally considered not only one of the most beautiful and intelligent inhabitants of the seas, but also one of the most ferocious ones. Yet, few can resist the charisma of these remarkable animals seeing them face to face in the ocean.
Join us for a five-day sea expedition in the Avacha Bay, where we will be able to observe and swim with marine mammals - sea lions and orcas.
Activities: trekking, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, photographing, watching wild animals in their natural habitat.
Our accommodation for the trip is an ocean sailing catamaran and having returned after a busy adventure route, you will find yourself in the warm and cozy houseboat with a hot shower and a delicious dinner.
Isn't this what can count for a real adventure? It's time to become a true explorer and ‒ for some of the areas we'll pass – a pioneer!
