Tourism

The initiative to develop eco-tourism appeared in 1996. Since that time the park management and staff, including rangers, scientists and employees of the tourism department, have been making their joint efforts in order to promote highly professional and successful eco-tours. National Park "Pripyatsky" successfully cooperates with western tour operators.

Accomodation

There are a few tourist bases in the heart of National Park "Pripyatsky" with its virgin nature. Each of these bases is unique in its location and fits the most demanding customer. Comfortable sleeping rooms and cozy dining rooms make it possible to relax after sightseeing. Most residential tourist complexes are remote from the noise of civilization. In close proximity to the bases there are a huge number of birds including hoopoes, many kinds of woodpeckers, red-backed shrikes, black redstarts, nightingales, bluethroats and black storks. 

Breakfast and dinner are cooked in a traditional distinctive style and usually served for groups of eco-tourists directly in the tourist complexes. Lunch is usually taken out in order not to interrupt the day tour and not to return to the base. Personal wishes of clients are taken into account. 

There are comfortable boats for up to 6 people for water trips. The boats can easily enter any lagoon. There are small motor ships for sightseeing tours on the Pripyat. The boats can be used as floating hotels thanks to comfortable cabins available on board.
