Our one-day Chernobyl trip is by far the most popular event on this tour operation. It's informative, compact and provides a great value for your money. A good majority of our guests opt specifically for the one-day trip (as opposed to a multi-day tour). On this trip, you will see the most important things the Chernobyl-Pripyat exclusion zone has to offer.

Having said that, when looking at the tour program below, please keep in mind though that it represents a typical one-day event. Your actual day trip may slightly differ from it, as we always have to adjust to the current situation inside the Chernobyl Zone and the changes the Zone administration imposes from time to time. Other words, look at it rather as the bottom line and do not take it too literally. Besides, on private one-day tours, we can always discuss with you some customization of your tour program/itinerary.

1-DAY TOUR PROGRAM:

Duration of our standard Pripyat-Chernobyl tour: 12 hours; we will leave Kyiv at 7:45 (Kyiv time) in the morning and will return from the trip back to Kyiv at around 7:30 in the evening.
Transfer: Kiev - Dytyatky, your first check-point prior to entering the 30-km Exclusion zone.
Arrival at and sightseeing of the town of Chernobyl.
Transfer to the village of Leliyov to pass the 10-km zone check-point/border.
Transfer to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station and sightseeing of Reactor 4 of ChNPP.
Visit to Pripyat (Prypiat), the highlight of your trip. Sightseeing of "The Dead (Ghost) Town" - its swimming pool area, amusement park with its Ferris wheel, river boats, abandoned buildings, school, hospital, etc.
Stop nearby the "Red Forest".
Return to Chernobyl. Lunch*. (Food is clean, it is delivered from outside of the Exclusion zone. Vegetarian meals can be arranged on a request.)
Visiting the Paryshiv village, meeting with "re-settlers", people who have moved back to their villages after evacuation (optional; time permitting).
Visiting "Duga" ("Russian Woodpecker") antenna array (radar).
Passage through the Dytyatky check-point. Checking the radiation, deactivation.
Return to Kiev at around 7 - 7:30 p.m.
Taking pictures and filming video is permitted during the entire Chernobyl-Pripyat excursion.

We also offer 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-day Pripyat-Chernobyl tours. Our two-day events are the queen and king of this tour operation. You will see everything that you would see on a day trip, except at much slower, relaxed pace, with more time for photography, video, and contemplation. Your penetration of the ghost town of Pripyat will be more thorough. In addition, you will see some abandoned villages, meet re-settlers, do some other things not included on a day trip.

What an experience, for example, it is to spend a night inside the Chernobyl Zone at a local hotel! What a treat it is to visit a deserted town of Pripyat early in the morning when the crowds of day visitors are still far away covering the one hour and forty minute long haul from Kyiv to the Chernobyl zone . One word, if you can afford (both budget-wise and time-wise) one extra day to let your experience all these extra amenities, just go for it – do not hesitate a moment.

When looking at the tour program below, please keep in mind though that it represents a typical multi-day event. Your actual tour program may slightly differ from it though, as we always have to adjust to the current situation inside the Chernobyl Zone and the changes the Zone administration imposes from time to time.
