Sail & Heli Ski Expedition in Kamchatka

 

What to Expect

Ultimate sail and heliski expedition along the Pacific shore of Kamchatka. You explore Kamchatka by ski touring its whitest slopes with the support of expeditional vessel and heliski Kamchatka's acive volcanoes. Skiing along the Pacific shore in the morning, and sea kayaking in the afternoon along volcanic rocks settled by sea lions is just business as usual during our exclusive adventure. Once you might think this is the best trip of your life, we extend it to the level of taking you to Kamchatka´s volcanos by  flying you with sturdy russian helicopter and dropping you on the edge of Kamchatka´s most active volcanoes, where you descend into the crater with fuming geysers. 

It was not just a ski trip, it was adventure pure with so many diverse experiences and impressions that I constatly look back at the time spent in Kamchatka.

The vessel we chosen for this once-in-a-life adventure is 30 m long, 6 m wide ship, that accomodates quests in double cabins, each with panoramic window. There are three toilets, showers and even a russian sauna on the same deck as cabins. For dining and etc. there is a lounge room with a bar, where the meals of the freshest sea - food are prepared. The ship is equipped with a crane and two zodiac boats, each of which posses a 40 hp motor, so a fast and smooth transefer between the vessel and shore is possible.
