Kamchatka is without exaggeration one of the most spectacular regions in Russia. It occupies the area of 470,000 sq. km, which equals the size of France, Belgium and Luxembourg combined, and separates the Sea of Okhotsk from the Pacific Ocean. The mountain ranges stretch from the north to the south giving the peninsula the shape of a giant fish. There are more than 160 volcanoes on the peninsula (29 of them are active), due to the fact that it lies on the Great Pacific “ring of fire”. Volcanoes and volcanic peaks, cyclones and underground heat created here a mixture of twenty climate zones and a great variety of flora and fauna. But the main attractions of Kamchatka are volcanic calderas, stone sculpture “parks” and lakes in craters, geysers and mineral springs, all in pristine condition. And, not forgetting; incredible wildlife.

Take advantage of new flights from Beijing to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. This makes access to the peninsula swift and easy with only one stop from Australia. Ask us for details.

The most authentically traditional country in Asia, Japan offers an amazing contrast between new and old - from bustlingly modern Tokyo to secluded countryside retreats. Enjoy a traditional tea ceremony in the tranquillity of Kyoto, a picnic under the blooming branches of a ‘sakura’ tree in spring, or climb the impressive Mt Fuji on a misty morning. Japan is always on time, gardens are meticulously manicured and the varied local cuisine is simply mouth watering. Take a stroll through the backstreet alleys of Osaka and Nara for a taste of the local beer and delightful snacks, or get seduced by the mystery of a secret temple in the mountains.

Tailor made itineraries are possible and welcomed. Private guides can take you to small countryside towns or larger, more familiar places, focus on your interests and help you navigate public transport. Let us do the work.

Mongolia is still a nation where more than half the population live off the land keeping livestock as herders. Living a nomadic lifestyle has been the way of life for 1000’s of years, and you will find Mongolia one of those countries where little has changed in the past millennia. There are no fences and very few sealed roads, and the main form of transport is still on horseback, though we can organise you a 4WD. Mongolia lies on the southernmost edge of the Arctic; where the Central Asian deserts and the steppe meets the deep forests of the Siberian taiga of the north. A trip to Mongolia allows you to soak up vast open landscapes and enjoy the incredible hospitality of nomadic herders.

Our Mongolian tours run with a minimum of two and can be tailor made to suit your needs.

By sheer landmass Russia is the largest country on earth, by remote wilderness Siberia is wilder than most, and by accessibility Siberia is far off the beaten track. Russia has 101 nature reserves and 40 national parks, which are strewn from Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East to Lake Baikal in the southeast, and the subtropics of the Caucasus to the mouth of one of Siberia’s largest rivers - the Lena. These are tremendously vast expanses of wilderness across various climatic zones. Find yourself in the wilderness areas of Kamchatka or Baikal; go trekking, wildlife viewing or fishing in pristine rivers. We can also hire you a remote log cabin for a week if you are in search of solitude. If you are looking for an adventure, we offer plenty in a remote and spectacular last wilderness frontier.
