Ponoi River Company
Ryabaga, Brevyeni and Purnache, Russia

If you'd rather be fishing, head to the ultimate salmon destination: the Ponoi River in Russia, where English-speaking guides show you the best fishing spots along 42 miles of private water.

The accommodations: Each tent is equipped with a wood stove and two twin beds, and there's a luxurious "big tent" for eating and gathering.

The food: Salmon is the star of the menu here. The kitchen makes fresh sushi, homemade gravlax and smoked salmon, as well as gourmet breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Outdoor activities: Once you take the helicopter flight to camp from Helsinki, salmon fishing is the main attraction.
