Arrival. Meeting at the Yelizovo Airport. Transfer to the hotel in Paratunka. We recommend to take early flight, or a flight day earlier to adapt to the change of time zone before the start of our intense programme.
We have prepared a surprise: a horse walk on the beautiful Halaktyr beach with black sand! After we get back to the hotel - briefing.

Breakfast. A day trip to the active Mutnovsky volcano and climbing to the crater. Return to Paratunka hotel. Rest before our adventure in the ocean!

In the early morning we will have check-in on the Catamaran. Getting to know the crew, coaching. Going out to sea. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on board of the catamaran. Going to the Russkaya Bay, on our way we will search for marine mammals and observe them.

In the morning we will go and search for killer whales: we will sail from bay to bay along the Southeast coast of Kamchatka. The direction is determined by the most favourable weather and reports on presence of whales and killer whales. In case of favourable conditions (behaviour of killer whales, weather conditions) we will even try to swim with them right in the ocean!
After lunch we will continue our search, and in the evening we will go back to the Russkaya Bay, where we will land and walk to the abandoned barge and the surrounding area. Be careful - there is a good chance to meet a bear here! But do not worry: following the rules, the care and professionalism of our guides will allow you to watch these beautiful animals from a safe distance, and stories of biologists - to learn a lot of interesting things about their lives!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner aboard the catamaran. In the evening we will have an interesting lecture on life of animals from Team Trip biologist. Overnight in cabins.

Again we will go in search of killer whales to Cape Kekurny, where we often meet the whole pod! During recent expedition we saw 20 killer whales at the same time on their hunt! Can you imagine?:)
Let's go to the cape and swim with our favourite friends: sea lions! Indeed sea lions are huge, playful and curious… Kittens!:) They rarely come one by one, usually surrounding us with attention of the whole pod) When we finish splashing in water with sea lion cubs, we will go to the Tikhaya Bay: here we will explore the wildlife of Kamchatka on a crystal clear lake on kayaks!
We will land at our favourite secret place "in the middle of nowhere" and walk around the neighborhood :). After the walk we will go on a sea fishing: we will get food for dinner!:) And just before sunset again we will come to the cape with sea lions, but now we will paddle and approach them on kayaks to observe in the golden rays of the sun! Usually sea lions willingly pose and loudly greet their guests:)
In the evening we will arrange a real fishers sauna at the Russian bay to warm up after a day in cold water!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner aboard the catamaran. In the evening we will have an interesting lecture on life of animals from Team Trip biologist. Overnight in cabins.

In the morning we will get up early and go kayaking to the sealery near the place of our stay. Ringed Seals are beautiful and shy, but incredibly curious animals! We will approach them very quietly and carefully, and they will surround us in the water, popping up like floats and approaching closer and closer to see strangers! We must admit: the place chosen for sealery is picturesque, there are few waterfalls nearby, we will paddle closer and admire them. After breakfast, we will search again for killer whales, and if possible, swim with them. After lunch, we will go searching again, or we will return to Russkaya Bay and make a hike up the waterfalls to the most beautiful mountain lake! Upon returning a surprise awaits: we will take a boat and sail to a secret place on the river where the bears fish - if we are lucky, we can watch these huge, but at the same time very active animals, from a very close distance!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner aboard the catamaran. In the evening we will have an interesting lecture on life of animals from Team Trip biologist. Overnight in cabins.

Sadly, today it's time to go home. Farewell to the bay that has become our home, and we will go towards the city. On the way we will visit another cool place: Green Cape, where we always see killer whales and where they are studied by scientists of the FEROP Project! We will land on the Cape, take a walk on the tall grass, admire the views of the Vilyuchinsky volcano (also known as Vilyuchik) and, if we find scientists in their camp, we will ask them about the life of killer whales, their discoveries, and also find out the entire genealogy of local orca families :)
Closer to the city we will stop at the bird's bazaar (the Starichkov Cape). If we keep up with the schedule, we can land and take a walk closer to the nests.
Return to the city no later than 7.00 pm. Check-in at the hotel in Paratunka. Overnight in the city.
