Tour Chernobyl and Live (Hopefully) to Tell $538

If you need a gift for the “person who has everything” and really want to “blow them away,” boy do we have the right gift for you.

Get them a trip to the site of the worst environmental disaster in recorded human history, Chernobyl! SAM Travel now offers tours of the infamous Ukrainian nuclear plant that experienced a meltdown of enormous proportions over 20 years ago. On the tour, you’ll be escorted from Kiev to the descending zones surrounding Chernobyl: the exclusion zone, the estrangement zone, and the 10km zone directly outside of the plant. You’ll also get to see surrounding ghost towns, the so-called Red Forest (which changed color after the accident), and more.

SAM Travel offers these 10-hour Chernobyl tours (with both English and Russian-speaking tour guides) at descending price points based on the size of your party: one person for $538, two for $280 per traveler, three is $213 per traveler, four is $165 per person, etc. The tour includes lunch.  Let’s hope three-eyed fish is not the special of the day.

    Perfect for the vacation before an impending divorce?

    Since I work in nuclear, I had to forward this one on to all my friends as “the nuclear gift”….

    It wasn’t until we were on our honeymoon that we discovered that we were married on the day
    Chernobyl happened. Needless to say, it was an omen.I’m no longer married, but I never forget the exact day and year that it happened. Should I characterize my marriage as having
    “melted down”?
