After more than 30 years that passed since the plant explosion, visiting Chernobyl is safer than ever before. The radiation dose you get during one day spent inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone is equal to a natural radiation level around. That dose is 300 times less than the entire X-ray scanning of your body at the hospital. Saying in numbers, you’ll get 3-4 µSv of gamma rays, which is an absolutely harmless radiation dose. Most likely, a regular flight will make you get more radiation than one day in Chernobyl could.

It depends on your tastes. Every season means special charm and impressions you get from the Chernobyl zone. In spring, when everything is in blossom but without leaves yet, guests of the ghost town can see its buildings and make unique photos. In summer, the Zone is green and Pripyat looks like a real “jungle town” showing you the almighty nature. In autumn, the Zone is a bit dull and dark, delivering special emotions to tourists and contributing to the tense. And the Zone’s winter opens the real atmosphere of abandoned places for everyone and gives the chance to see local wildlife creatures like wolves and warthogs.
Tours to Chernobyl are not more dangerous than trips to any other place on the planet. The level of radiation is high only in certain areas. They are absent in the routes of tourist groups, or guests spend safe periods nearby them. To make sure that you will come back home healthy and happy, our specialists organize dosimeter control sessions twice a day. For a trip, you’ll get a respirator and a Geiger-Muller dosimeter for free.
Yes, and that’s an excellent choice. A 3-hour tour around the plant is deep and informative as it is the only atomic power station in the world that’s not being used. You can visit the Chernobyl plant together with a group. In case of an individual tour, you will be able to see the plant for additional payment (159 euros for minimum of 2 persons).
No, you don’t need respirators or gas masks to spend time in Chernobyl, Pripyat, and neighborhood. Though, the company will provide you with a respirator for free when entering Chernobyl, so you could feel comfortable.
A dose of radiation you will get during one day spent in Chernobyl is equal to a natural radiation level in any other place around the world, or one hour spent in a plane flight. You’ll get 3-4 µSv of gamma rays. This dose is totally harmless. To compare, most power plants in different countries have their safety level for workers at 50-100 µSv per day.
You can pay for the entire tour while booking (with a credit card or Paypal), make a prepayment 20% of total price and pay the rest with cash on the tour day or you can pay the whole price in cash right inside the bus. No booking commissions or tour canceling fees will be taken. In case you paid for the tour in advance, we’ll give you a 100% money back if you cancel it at least 24 hours before the tour begins. Payments are available in UAH, GBP, or USD.
Yes, it is allowed to take photos and shoot videos during a trip. The only zones with photo and video limitation restrictions are the power plant from the spot closer than 200 m and security checkpoints. You can take pictures and videos on the special observation platform at the safe distance from the 4th power plant reactor (Shelter Structure). Amateur and professional camera tripods are also allowed in the Chernobyl Zone, so you can take your equipment. UAV drones can be launched there for additional payment, too (except restricted places). Please, contact our client support department to get additional data.
