Description

Are you ready to walk through the pages of history? Join us for an unforgettable full-day expedition from Kyiv to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. This is more than a tour; it’s a journey into a time capsule of the Soviet Union, halted abruptly in 1986.

☢️ The Experience

Leave the modern world behind as we pass the checkpoints into the Zone. Guided by expert English-speaking professionals, you will explore the eerie silence of abandoned ghost towns, witness the scale of Cold War engineering, and stand before the site that changed the world forever.

Whether you are an adventure seeker, a history enthusiast, or looking for the photo opportunity of a lifetime, this 12-hour journey offers a safe and fascinating look at the resilience of nature and the echoes of the past.

📸 Trip Highlights

On this action-packed day, you will visit the Zone’s most iconic locations:

  • The Power Plant: Get up close (safely) to the Reactor 4 Sarcophagus and the New Safe Confinement structure.

  • Pripyat Ghost Town: Walk the overgrown streets of the abandoned city. See the iconic Ferris Wheel at the amusement park that never opened, explore empty schools and kindergartens, and witness nature reclaiming the concrete.

  • Duga Radar (The Russian Woodpecker): Stand beneath the colossal, secret over-the-horizon radar system that once terrorized global radio frequencies.

  • The Red Forest: Drive past one of the most radioactive areas in the world, witnessing the strange regeneration of the woodland.

  • Secret Checkpoints & Monuments: Discover hidden Soviet relics and monuments dedicated to the brave liquidators.

🛡️ Is It Safe?

Yes. Safety is our absolute priority.

We provide full safety briefings before departure to ensure you feel comfortable and secure throughout the adventure.
