Boat International – August 2019

SEPTEMBER^

KAMCHATKA, RUSSIA

Enjoy untapped adventure in this restless peninsula

This land of primal beauty resembles our planet in the early chapters of

its creation, with spurting geysers and erupting calderas.

In September, mammoth brown bears patrol the waters for salmon

in unrivalled numbers, and the volcanic landscape has untapped

potential for adventure. With no roads or railways connecting it to the

outside world, Kamchatka is a haven for wildlife. Whether you wish

to bathe in thermal hot springs or search for migrating whales alongside

your marine guides, you’ll enjoy the very best that this remote and

little-known region of Russia has to offer.

This is a destination for those who don’t want to stand still. Launch

your adventure from the comforts of a private yacht and enjoy a wealth

of activities among one of the highest concentration of volcanoes in

the world. Getting here can take time, but Cookson Adventures has the

logistical expertise to mitigate this significantly.

Activities: Helicopter sightseeing over volcanoes, diving to underwater

smokers, rock climbing, fly fishing, river rafting, bear tracking and more.

OCTOBER^

PALAU, MICRONESIA

Make rare finds in the Pacific island nation

Sitting like an emerald necklace in the Pacific Ocean, the Micronesian

archipelago of Palau is home to some of the most exotic creatures in the

world. Its proximity to both New Guinea and the Philippines has resulted

in this cluster of jungle-covered islands exhibiting a remarkable variety

of endemic marine life.

Relics from the Second World War, such as aeroplanes and tanks,

dot the islands, both along the seabed and deep in the jungle, and red

snappers gather in their thousands to spawn with every full moon.

For divers in the know, Palau, with its many bays and coves, is often

recognised as one of the best dive destinations in the world. This

October, discover an exhibition of exotic fish and brightly coloured coral

that guarantees to impress even the most seasoned of explorers.

Activities: Submersible diving, hiking through the jungle with a wildlife

expert, kayaking through tropical mangroves, diving to manta ray

congregations and spotting incredibly rare dugongs.
