Fish in a lake, river or the sea. Fish in winter or summer. There are indeed unlimited opportunities to hook a huge trophy.

Choose a trip along the picturesque shores, and you will see the Three Brothers, Devil's Finger cliff, the uninhabited Starichkov Island. If you're lucky, you will find not only seals and sea lions, but also orcas and other whales.

Vilyuchinsky volcano

Green paths winding around snow-covered hills, flowers standing against the winds, melting snowflakes and glaciers turning into 40-meter-high waterfalls in the middle of summer.

Gorely and Mutnovsky volcanoes

Two essential stone giants on the peninsula. The Gorely volcano is notable for its unique craters filled with blue and green lakes. The Mutnovsky volcano jets streams of white gas and vapour.

Plosky Tolbachik volcano

In 2012, the volcano unexpectedly awakened and left us with fields of hardened lava, caves and the mysterious Dead Forest. At the top, you can learn how to cook dinner using volcanic heat.

Avachinsky volcano

The most accessible active volcano for climbing in Kamchatka, it is located just 30 km from the city.

Take a passenger seat or try yourself out as a dog-driver. One cannot visit winter Kamchatka without taking a dog sled ride.
