WHY
We’re driven by travellers who are seeking a wholesome and unique travel experience in Russia. Our goal is providing seamless, life enriching travel.

Experiencing it ourselves by returning many times to various destinations in Russia since 2002, we felt that there is a big knowledge gap in the market regarding Russia as a travel destination. We decided that people deserves to know and experience real Russia.

Reviews

“Having no clue as what to expect on this once in a life time and totally out of my comfort zone adventure, 56th Parallel were able to answer all my questions before deciding to go, and after booking. Although, I was booking from Japan, the ease of the process was comforting. On the ground, 56th Parallel is teamed up with fantastic operators. They are all very experienced and professional. Kamchatka is a stunning and wild location. We were able to see it in all its glory while kayaking on the Pacific Ocean, trekking on volcanoes and from the air on a day helicopter tour. Your safety is always first and foremost. The experience 56th Parallel were able to provide was next to perfect.”

“Completed two trips- one in winter and the other in Spring. Incredibly well organised adventures with sensational food choices and social activities added.The highlights included the 8 hour high powered ski mobile tour through the Siberian wilderness in Winter and the high speed quad bike tour covering the same terrain but in Spring. Just an incredible and spectacular experience. Thanks to everyone who looked after us.”
