Sea Kayaking and Kayak Holidays with Southern Sea Ventures

Kamchatka Peninsula – Brand New!



The Land of Fire and Volcanoes

15 day expedition ~ 14 day voyage ~ 8-10 days kayaking ~ Grade: Moderate +

Pack ice

Join us on a voyage of discovery to the Jewel of the Ring of Fire, the Kamchatka Peninsula. Russia’s most spectacular wilderness. Skylines dominated by snowy volcanoes provide the backdrop for our memorable helicopter escape over this dramatic landscape.  We cruise to the treeless Commander Islands for a true wildlife extravaganza.  A UNESCO biosphere reserve housing tremendous numbers of fur seals, Steller sea lions, sea otters, tufted puffins, guillemots, kittiwakes, auklets and more. Kayaks are the ideal way to observe the wildlife and no day will be the same. This is expedition kayaking at its finest.

We will explore coastal rivers, visit traditional villages and experience hot springs and geysers in this geothermal wonderland. Brown bears and eagles soaring overhead add to the magic. Hope to see you there!
