Chernobyl Is Open!

Do you remember we announced some exciting news a few weeks ago about our upcoming trips to Chernobyl?   Well, the time has come and we are pleased to announce that we are now OPEN for bookings as lockdown is easing across the globe, and we look forward to future adventures once again.

We spent last year scouting this destination, during which we explored Pripyat and the surrounding forest in a group of five, camped in the USSR Research base in the woods and immersed ourselves in the Zone’s stark scenery resulting in an itinerary that will blow you away.  

Let our expert private guide with ten years experience including working with the crew on HBO’s TV mini-series: Chernobyl, take you on a journey into this wild wilderness and out of your comfort zone.

Be included in the Exclusion

From the Exclusion Zone to inside the newly opened and infamous Control Room Number 4, you are now able to experience Chernobyl in a whole new way with Dirty Dozen Expeditions.  Check out our awesome new two day itinerary here.

Incoming from New York

A dosimeter measures the external radiation in an environment.  We have been sent some Cold War relics from New York that we are bringing with us to enrich our Chernobyl experience from DDE team member and diver, John.  Don’t worry, we have some modern ones to hand out too.

In the video you can see Antti Apunen of Divers of the Dark walk alongside me as we approach the door to UNIT 4 inside the site of the nuclear disaster. 

With masks on, our minds went on what can only be described as a emotional rollercoaster throughout the two-hour tour deep inside the powerplant.
