The Land of Fire and Ice...and Bears 2020

Join Geoffrey Kent and your small group of guests in Hokkaido, the southern end of an island chain linking Japan and Russia, for an incredible send-off before flying by private jet to the heart of Kamchatka, one of the world’s last wildernesses. Your expedition base will be a remote but comfortable lodge with sensational food — some of which you may have even caught. Home to otherworldly geysers, smoldering yet snow-flecked volcanoes, and diverse habitats from tundras to grasslands, explore between the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk. To complete your expedition, fly by private jet to Moscow and enjoy the finest Russian hospitality.
