Chernobyl Tour Plan

Chernobyl is closer then you think! Tours to Chernobyl are safe and incredibly exciting

Registration starts at 8:30 AM and finishes at 9:00 AM, so don't be late as the bus will leave either with or without you. We check your passport data with our booking information, check your clothes. Then you have to make the second payment for the tour (in case you haven't payed the whole amount before), check your documents (pass) and get on a bus. You may also rent Geiger counters and buy souvenir T-shirts.

The bus leaves for the Chernobyl zone at 9:00 AM. While going to Chernobyl, you will be watching documentaries about the disaster. In 2.5 hours you will arrive to the Dytyatky checkpoint.
Once you have arrived to the Chernobyl zone, you will meet with representatives of the Chernobylinterinform Company who will answer all your questions about Chernobyl.

Then, you will leave for the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant. On your way, you will pass another checkpoint where the Chernobyl zone staff will check your passports and passes.

You will also make a stop at reactor cooling passages. If the weather is good, you may be lucky to see huge catfishes, witnesses of the Chernobyl tragedy. You may bring some bread to feed them.

Next stop is Reactor No.4. You will be able to approach it at less than 100 meters.

Then, you will stop at the Red Forest and go to the Pripyat village where you will be able to take pictures of the ghost town, abandoned hotels, school, Ferris wheel, swimming pool, playground, etc.

After that, you come back to Chernobyl for a lunch, if it is included in your tour package.

After lunch, you will leave for the Opachychi village where you will be able to speak to its inhabitants who came back to their village after the Chernobyl zone evacuation.

At the end, you come back to the Dytyatky checkpoint where the zone security checks your radiation level.

You come back to Kiev around 6:00 PM.

Please, notice! The tour plan may be changed without any prior announcement because of limitations of the access to Chernobyl Zone and force majeur circumstances.

PS. Important! Visits to the Rossokha village and the military machines graveyard have been prohibited by the government since 2008.
