The Kurilskoye lake is a place of exceptional beauty and tranquility, where one can get up close to and observe the fishing skills of the Kamchatka brown bear. The lake itself hosts the largest population of red salmon, attracting the largest brown bear habitat on the peninsula. The lake is situated in the southern part of the Kamchatka peninsula, is of volcanic origin and is included in the Worldwide UNESCO Heritage list. It is one of the few places where our guests can safely observe the life of a brown bear.

The Ilyinskiy volcano majestically towers on the lake’s side, and at the center of the lake there is a small rocky island called The Heart of Alaid, which resembles a heart shape. The island host one of the largest fresh water pacific-ocean seagull populations.

The Ksudach volcano is very well known for its beautiful crater lakes. And the Khodutka river, heated by thermal streams, flows through one of the most fascinating sceneries near the Khodutka volcano.
