Full-Day Chernobyl Zone Excursion

  • Understand the event's influence, which completely changed modern civilisation and contributed to the collapse of the vast Soviet empire.

  • Witness with your own eyes what the Earth and the cities here look like when people disappear.

  • Reflect on how nature revives itself, how quickly animals and birds can restore their populations, and how human houses can remain surrounded by lush vegetation. In the Chernobyl zone, there are still places with a high radiation background, but our route follows a safe and proven path, accompanied by an experienced instructor.

  • On a day trip to Chernobyl, you receive a radiation dose 160 times lower than that of a one-hour flight by plane, for example from Kyiv to Odesa one way, or 3,600 times less than exposure from a single CT scan.
