The 10 Best Tours in Far Eastern District, Far Eastern District

August 30, 2021 Flossie Demartino

Far East Russia is a world apart from the country’s west – almost literally, lying thousands of miles and many time zones away from it. A huge area with rugged mountains and spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline, Far East Russia borders China and North Korea on its south and nearly touches the United States to the northeast. Cities like Vladivostok and Khabarovsk are here, but the glorious natural wonders (like the volcanoes and national parks of the Kamchatka Peninsula) are what draw many.

We booked for the Swan Lake ballet on 25 December 2019, with travel date on 24 May 2020, through U Visit Russia. . Due to the Covit19 pandemic we were unable to visit Russia nor attend the ballet. Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks. Nothing and again they were contacted by email but no response was ever received. No refund was ever received. Nothing!! The lesson is to beware of ever dealing with this company.

Take a break from the chaos of city and enjoy a walk in the peace of a Nature Reserve :) Beginners to advanced, all levels are welcome. We will do a 2 hour hike in the Russki Island (to Tobizina Cape) within a 40 minutes drive from Vladivostok. We will meet at the KFC parking lot 50 meters walking from Arbat (Fokina) street and will carpool to the trailhead. We'll go hiking in the hills, connect with nature, soak in the sunshine, see jaw dropping inspiring cliff views, take snack and water breaks, learn about the wildflowers and trees, make new friends, get some exercise and breathe in the fresh air! If you are lucky enough, you will meet a fox. We will take as many photos as you'd like and send them to you at the end of the hike. I hope you'll feel healthier and happier after spending time hiking with me and connecting with the beauty of Russky Island. See you!

5. Amazing Kamchatka - Highlights of Geyser Valley Private Tour by Helicopter

U Visit Russia

If you are in Kamchatka for few days, wish to extend your Itinerary or have 1-2 days left before you head back home, make your journey complete by taking a helicopter tour to one or few top Kamchatka attractions. This phenomenon is as beautiful as rare. Big geysers are located only in Iceland, in the Yellowstone park of the USA and New Zealand. But there is hardly a place in the world where such a variety of magnificent gushing springs can be found in such a small area as the Valley of Geysers of Kamchatka. If Geysers of Kamchatka are on the list of your destinations, do not delay your visit. Geysers are a delicate formation and easily extinguished by either human intervention, earthquakes or flooding.

Inclusions: Bilingual guide, Transfers by car to/from the local airport, Helicopter transfers (round trip), National Park fees

Exclusions: International and domestic air fares to/from Kamchatka, Meals or snacks, Travel/Health Insurance, Personal expenses

6. Kamchatka Private Helicopter Tour: ''Fly Around Volcanoes''

U Visit Russia

If you are in Kamchatka for few days, wish to extend your Itinerary or have 1-2 days left before you head back home, make your journey complete by taking a helicopter tour to one or few top Kamchatka attractions. Just north of Petropavlovsk, there are Koryaksky, Avachinsky and Kozhelsky volcanoes. The Avachinsky Volcano (2151 m) is one of the most active on the Kamchatka peninsula. It has erupted at least 16 times since 1737. A large explosive eruption occurred at Avachinsky in 1945. The most recent eruption was in 1991 and produced lava flows, a dome, and mudflows. Because of its proximity to the Petropavlovsk, it is definitely a great complementary to the city's look and one of the favored places for hiking, skiing and trekking among local residents.

10. Kamchatka Private Boat Trip - Marine Wildlife and Bird Watching

U Visit Russia

Because of the high transportation cost and luck of roads, most tours in Kamchatka are designed for groups only. So, if you are traveling alone or a friend, there is a lot of "juggling" needs to be done before you book your trip. Most likely you will end up having few days open of flexible for making individual plans. Our main destination is The Starichkov Island, which is located just outside of Avacha Bay. The Island is a home to several nest sites of white-tailed eagles and numerous colonies of seafowl's accompanied by Largha Seals. On the way to/from the Island, there is a good chance we will see Common Dolphin, Killer Whale and sometimes Dall's Porpoise and Minke Whale. If interested, feel free to fish for flounder, mackerel, and ocean perch. For lunch, we will make a fish soup on the camp fire and closer to the evening return to Petropavlovsk. • Guaranteed skip-the-line entrance

Inclusions: Transfers to the pier, Motorboat with captain, National Park fees, Guaranteed skip-the-line entrance

Exclusions: Personal expenses
