Every meeting with us is special. Feel like a Sakhalin fisherman, an athlete or a conqueror of mountain peaks. Or just relax in a picturesque place without worrying about transport, cooking or tents - Friends - Hikers will do everything for you!

Our collection includes more than 150 routes in the Far East and Russia. Sakhalin, Kuril Islands, Kamchatka, Altai, Baikal, Putorana Plateau, Shantar Islands and dozens of other places that everyone dreams of. UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the most beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers. Places where you can meet bowhead whales and polar bears, catch the northern lights and see a volcanic eruption.

We started our work with a group of enthusiasts in 2013 and in ten years have grown into a large travel company that makes every effort to develop the travel industry.

In 2017, we won the international exhibition TRAVEL DREAM in the “Author’s tour to the ends of the earth” category.

Why us?

Experienced instructors and guides

We test all our routes on ourselves. Our team consists of real travel experts - people who have climbed Elbrus, reached the North Pole and explored the most protected corners of Russia.

Individual approach

If you want to discover Russia, we will be happy to inspire you to travel.

You don’t want to travel with strangers, or you want to change something in the program. Or take a route that is not on our website. We will organize everything.

Safety

The safety of traveling with “Friends Hikers” is confirmed by the Certificate of inclusion in the register of tour operators and numerous reviews from our tourists.

Adventures begin with us

We believe that traveling helps you discover something new in yourself. Look at the usual processes differently and come up with something non-standard.

Our trips are just like that - they truly reboot and help you come back refreshed, full of energy and inspiration.

“We want traveling around Russia to become a real trend.
Our country has hundreds of incredible places: valleys of lotuses, valleys of geysers, valleys of colorful rocks, mountain towers, Buddhist temples and even Stonehenge, created by the hands of nature.

Traveling around Russia has enormous potential. And we believe that tourism can become one of the drivers of the country’s economy.

This is a complex task, and therefore we approach it comprehensively - we create a large ecosystem in which we combine the resources of government and business.”
