Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Vladivostok
We land at the Knevichi airport in Vladivostok. Hooray, we are in the Far East!
It takes about an hour to get to the city by Aeroexpress or taxi.
We meet at 16:00 at the agreed place, get acquainted and go for a walk around the city.
If the weather is good, we go to the Tokarevsky Lighthouse for sunset, and if a cyclone comes and the sky tightens, we will listen to an excursion at the Museum of the history of the Far East.
After dinner, we rest: today it is important to go to bed on time to get used to the new time zone.
Day 2 - Cape Sosnovy
Early in the morning, we leave for the Gamova Peninsula by transfer, 260 km on the way.
Our walk will begin on the shore of the Far Eastern Marine Reserve. This unique biosphere reserve is located not on land, but in water.
We will reach the picturesque Cape Sosnovy and the Cormorant cakes. One of the largest larga seal rookeries in the bay is located here.
We go down the rope to the beach with a view of the business card of Primorye — kekur "Arch" or in the common people "Pants".
In the evening, we check into a guest house in the village of Vityaz.
Day 3 - Gamova Peninsula
We go by car to Telyakovsky Bay and to the island of the Languishing Heart. Such a romantic name was given to it because of an unusual attraction: on the shore of the island, in one of the natural rainwater baths, there is a rounded stone in the shape of a heart. If the stone is pushed, it will start making a sound like a heartbeat. The bravest can descend to the island by ropes and listen to the beating of a stone heart.
The bay itself is stunningly beautiful: bright turquoise water surrounded by thick-flowered pines, a snow-white beach, rocks and grottoes.
We explore the bay, have a snack and drive to the observation deck at the Gamova lighthouse. Gamov Lighthouse is the southernmost lighthouse in Russia, built in 1854.
Inspired by the views, we go down to the beach in Astafiev Bay with white sand and clear water — you can swim here!
We return to the base, have dinner, relax, share our impressions.
Day 4 - Gamova — Lukyanovka crossing
Today we have a long drive through the Leopard Land Reserve.
On the way, we will stop at the visitor center and walk along the ecotrope, make a stop at a beautiful waterfall.
In the evening, we check into the campsite and rest before tomorrow's ascent.
Day 5 - Benevsky Waterfalls
Early in the morning we leave for the Lazovsky Nature Reserve (300 km on the way, 5-6 hours).
On the way, we will stop at a maral breeding farm, where marals are bred and assimilated — Altai deer, whose antlers (antlers) have healing properties. They can be hand-fed and photographed.
But our main goal is to see the cascade of Benevsky waterfalls. There may be fords along the way, but the ascent to the first waterfall is smooth, but you will have to climb ropes to the second one.
The main waterfall called the Star of Primorye has a height of more than 20 m.
After walking a lot, we go to Petrova Bay, where we will relax in chic houses overlooking the Sea of Japan.
Day 6 - Petrova Bay
We meet the dawn at the sea with a view of Petrova Island.
After breakfast, we go on a boat tour of the island.
Petrov Island has been inhabited since the Neolithic period, now a yew grove grows on the remains of an ancient settlement, and the trees are planted in such a way that they form several hieroglyphs that have not been deciphered, but one hieroglyph in all oriental languages means "tree".
Day 7 - Dragon Park
We say goodbye to the cozy Petrov Bay and go to the "Dragon Park".
It takes about an hour to walk, but the view that opens up to our eyes from the backs of the sleeping dragon is worth it. The weathered stone ridges really resemble the scaly bodies of fairy-tale dragons, and a pleasant path among the oak forest beckons.
In the late afternoon we arrive at Tachangouza Bay. This is a Chinese name, formed from "Da-qinggouzi", which means "big green pad" in Chinese, and in Russian it is called a Country road.
Nearby are the bays Zarya and Kit, which are also worthy of our attention.
Moving 200 km, crossing 10 km.
Day 8 - Tachingouza Bay
Accompanied by an employee of the reserve, we go on a tour of the Proselochnaya Bay, which will last about 4 hours.
The bay is located on the territory of the Lazovsky Nature Reserve, which is home to more than 318 species of animals, including the Amur tiger! But there is nothing to worry about — the tigers live in a special fenced area of the reserve.
We spend the night at the cordon of the reserve. Before going to bed, we steam in the bathhouse.
Day 9 - Transfer to the Cape of Four Rocks
In the morning, transfer to Vladimir Bay and Cape of Four Rocks.
The cape juts strongly into the sea, so here you can feel surrounded by the sea element.
Nearby there is a quiet and cozy place with a granite hexagonal arch, under which you can walk and make a wish.
Day 10 - Baluzek Lighthouse
Today we are going to the picturesque Baluzek lighthouse. It is located on a small hill and is a landmark for ships approaching Vladimir Bay.
We will walk along a narrow path right above the cliff, watching the breathtaking views.
Day 11 - Moving to Vladivostok
Today we have a long journey to Vladivostok.
We recommend staying in the city for another day. Vladivostok is a city located at the latitude of Sochi and Nice, it is the eastern gate of Russia.
You can meet the dawn at the cape of Russian Island, take pictures against the background of bridges.
In the evening, dinner with Far Eastern delicacies: crabs, scallops, octopus and caviar.
Day 12 - Vladivostok and the return home
You can fly home today. If you decide to stay for a few more days, we recommend going to the Primorsky Aquarium, the Botanical Garden, the museum of autostarina, Arsenyev's apartment building.
You can also go to the Glass Beach, go to a sailing regatta or go sailing among the bays and islands.
