When you travel between small inshore settlements, the only way to get there is to make a personal arrangement with local fishermen and sea hunters and ask them to take you where you need by their motor boat. Be sure to take warm and waterproof clothes for such sea journeys. When travelling by air, there are also some features you have to keep in mind. First, tickets for inland flights are not sold in the internet.

There are almost no roads because of the deep-frozen soil, so you will have to travel by sea or by air. For travelling to big (by Chukotka standards) villages you can take a motor ship, which makes trips approximately once a week. But don't expect comfortable conditions there: there are almost only sitting places, and what's more, as the journey usually takes 1-3 days, it will be an unpleasant experience if you are likely to be seasick.

When travelling to Chukotka, you have to bear in mind that there is almost no tourist service: here you won't find five-star hotels, restaurants, excursion buses. This is a place for really adventurous travelers. Almost no one speaks English, so you will have to find an English-speaking guide from the locals before your journey, otherwise if you don't speak Russian, you will have many difficulties with the language. Travelling in the Arctic has its own specifics and you have to be ready for plenty of challenges, but believe me – they worth it.

You also have to review your itinerary in case you have to enter the Beringia National Park, as you also need permissions for entering its territory, which you have to apply to beforehand. Finally, there are plane tickets. First you have to fly to Moscow, as only from there you can take a flight to Anadyr, the capital of Chukotka, where you will start your journey.
