Tours and hikes in Ukraine – exciting journeys across the country

Ukraine boasts a vast array of attractions, both popular and lesser-known, yet no less picturesque: from the cozy medieval streets of western Ukraine to the breathtaking landscapes of the south, from the majestic Carpathian Mountains to spacious meadows and vast lakes. The popularity of tours in Ukraine is evident in the numbers: since 2017, our country has demonstrated the fastest growth in tourism and travel in the subregion. Even in the current climate, active and sightseeing tours in Ukraine remain among the most popular destinations.

Our country, Ukraine, boasts numerous historical sites and recreational resources, seven of which are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The diversity of natural panoramas you can enjoy on just one hiking trip in Ukraine is truly breathtaking. The ExtremeGuide team has strived to make our tours as original as possible, presenting Ukraine in all its glory. You can book a hiking trip in Ukraine at a low price that will perfectly suit your preferences.

Different regions and localities

We offer extreme recreation and hiking tours in various locations across Ukraine. Many, when choosing a hiking or active tour in Ukraine, choose the Carpathian Mountains. These majestic mountains can rightfully be called the green “lungs” of Europe. The local landscapes are picturesque and unforgettable, inspiring and providing a wealth of impressions. It’s no wonder they have been a favorite subject of celebrated artists.

The Carpathians boast a unique wealth of flora and fauna: stunning cliffs, mysterious caves, and spacious meadows teeming with sheep. With us, you can climb all the popular peaks: Hoverla, Shpitsy, and Petros. You’ll see the wild Gorgany Mountains, visit Manyavsky Waterfall, Lake Svydovets, and even delve deeper into the secrets of Hutsul cuisine. We offer the opportunity to learn mountaineering, trek with children, or celebrate New Year’s in the Carpathians.

We also offer affordable tours across western Ukraine and other regions. Popular destinations include:

  1. Bessarabia – we offer a hike along the largest spit on the Black Sea coast, stretching for 40 km. Minimal development has allowed this area to preserve its pristine beauty, attracting eco-tourism enthusiasts. This hike includes visiting the Tuzla estuaries, kayaking, and camping right on the seashore.
  2. Kamianets-Podilskyi is an incredible “flower on a stone” and one of the most picturesque cities in Ukraine, located in the Khmelnytskyi region. Its attractions enchant with their ancient surroundings and mysterious atmosphere, unusual architectural forms, and ubiquitous greenery. The local landscape also offers numerous opportunities for rock climbing. If you’re interested in more than just hiking in Ukraine, but also a bit of extreme sports, then this route is for you.
  3. Cherkasy Region – For rock climbing and trekking enthusiasts, there’s also an interesting option in central Ukraine. In the Mankovsky District of Cherkasy Oblast, lies the village of Buky, surrounded by spectacular panoramas reminiscent of both Norwegian fjords and the mountainous terrain of Switzerland. A hiking tour in central Ukraine is an interesting option for ecotourism enthusiasts. For those seeking a more extreme experience, we offer rock climbing lessons in Buky. Whatever tour you decide to take, the unique landscape and monumental rock formations will remain etched in your memory for a long time. The Buky Canyon is also striking in its antiquity: it formed over 2.5 billion years ago.

We decide on the route and type of leisure activity

Everyone defines active recreation differently: for some, it’s trekking with backpacks and camping by a lake, for others, it’s climbing two-thousanders and rock climbing, and for still others, it’s winter freeriding. We offer a wide variety of hiking tours in Ukraine. Routes vary in difficulty and duration, but they all have one thing in common: incredible scenery and a team of experienced guides.

For mountaineering enthusiasts, the most obvious choice is, of course, the Carpathians. The Ukrainian portion of these majestic mountains is divided into regions, each with its own unique terrain. These include the Chornohora Range, where you can find five two-thousanders, including Ukraine’s highest peak, and the wild Gorgany Mountains, home to Lake Synevyr and the Manyavsky Waterfall. You can choose from a seven-day trek through the main mountain pearl, or a weekend tour that allows you to appreciate the beauty of the Carpathians in just one weekend.

For extreme sports enthusiasts, we offer the opportunity to attend a freeride and backcountry school in Dragobrat. You can also learn rock climbing in Buky Canyon or ice climbing in Kamianets-Podilskyi, go kayaking on the Black Sea Spit, or gain your first winter mountaineering experience. You can also spend New Year’s in the Carpathians, climbing Mount Petros.
