Sergey MalkovKamchatka Wild Nature Ltd. offers visitors and locals on Kamchatka opportunities year round to go sport fishing. They offer both fishing from well-equipped base camps along rivers or rafting tours where camps change every day or so. In the winter they offer fishing through the ice on lakes and rivers. They are one of Kamchatka’s pioneers in marine fishing for halibut and other fish. They also offer combination tours to visit Kamchatka’s volcanoes and hot springs. Kamchatka Wild Nature specializes as well in corporate and incentive tours for large companies.
We also have close cooperation with the federal Rescue Service and file trip plans with them for our tours. All of our guides are well-trained and qualified. On the tour we have good communication tools like satellite telephones and radios between camps and rafts. We try hard to give potential clients true information about difficulties and peculiarities of the route, providing safety for the tourists’ en-route.
Principles:
1. Supports the local economy.
We involve local people to working with the groups of tourists, and also provide special training. This means that when we set up a base camp near a remote village or small community, we hire local guides and help to serve the clients. We realize that they know the area best and also they can make some income from our tour activities in the area.
2. Quality and safety during the whole route.
We are always trying to innovatively introduce modern technologies into providing quality service by having the best equipment and serving the best food.
