1st highlight: City tour through Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky
Our first stop is the big bazaar, where we can find salmon, caviar, various furs, wild berries, mushrooms and other typical foods of this place. Afterwards a visit to the new Vulcanarium is planned. This is an exhibition on the island's volcanoes with display boards, animations and numerous lava collections.
2nd highlight: boat trip with bird watching
The boat tour takes us through the beautiful Avacha Bay, one of the natural harbors of the Pacific. On our tour we will visit three islands: The island "Stone of the Old Woman", which is known for its underwater caves and the lively underwater world. This is followed by the island of "the three brothers". It consists of three stones protruding from the water, which are supposed to represent three brothers. The third island, which is also called "island of the silver alke", is a natural monument on which huge colonies of sea birds live. In addition to the diverse bird life, with a bit of luck we can also spot whales.

Highlight: Hike in the Vachkazhets Mountains - full day
The Vachkazhets Mountains are one of the most magnificent places of
Kamchatka. In ancient times, Vachkazhets was a single volcano. Due to a violent explosion, however, it split into three parts: Letnyaya Poperechnaya (1,417 m), Vachkazhtsy and Vachkazhets (1,500 m). Our hike starts at the enchanting Takhkoloch Lake and takes us to breathtaking waterfalls, where we can enjoy the beauty of Kamchatka.
At the end of the day we will return to Paratunka.

1st highlight: rafting on the Bystraja river
A little adventure is planned in the morning. We ride a rubber dinghy along the river Bystraja for about 3 h. Our guide will steer us, so we can relax during the time and fish later on. If we're lucky, we'll spot bears fishing in the river as well.
2nd highlight: The Malkinskiye hot springs
Not far from the Malka settlement, there are the Malkinskiye thermal springs suitable for bathing. The water from the springs fills the natural baths with different mineral compositions. These thermal springs are so close to the significantly colder Klyuchevka River that you can regulate the temperature yourself - you just have to move the stones in a certain way to divert the cold river water into a hot bath.

Highlight: Climbing the Mutnowski volcano - all day
After breakfast we take an off-road vehicle to the starting point of our ascent, from where our trekking tour to the summit of the Mutnowski volcano (2,322 m) begins. The tour lasts about 5 h including stops for meals. At the summit, a wonderful view opens up over the region's eternal glaciers, the multicolored rocky outcrops and the huge volcanic fumaroles. The volcano's two main craters are located here. On the descent we take a look at an 80 m high waterfall, which is called "the dangerous one".

Highlight: free time - all day
We are happy to offer you a few options for organizing the day. The core of this is a helicopter flight. When participating, you can choose one of the following options:
Option 1: Excursion to the Valley of the Geysers
This is one of the world-famous wonders of Russia and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Valley of the Geysers is located in a nature reserve with a length of 6 km. Various forms of hydrothermal activity can be seen in this incredible area: hot lakes, peat bogs, steam fountains and more than 200 geysers.
Option 2: Excursion to Kuril Lake and bear watching
The Kurilensee is a huge crater lake that was formed around 8,000 years ago and is the largest salmonid spawning site in Eurasia. This of course attracts many predators, such as bears. In the season from August to the beginning of September they regularly come to the headwaters of the Osjornaya River to hunt fish.
Both excursions last 6-7 h each, include lunch and take place with professional English-speaking guides. You can decide on one of the excursions before the trip, but also on site and pay in cash. A tour costs 48,000 rubles, which is around € 550 (as of August 2021).
For those who want to relax on this day, there is a thermal water pool in the hotel.
