Vacation in Primorye

Air and railway tickets are not included in the price of the tour. You can purchase them yourself or contact us for help.

Only Russians are allowed on the route through the Khasansky district (border guards' requirements) and it is mandatory to have a Russian passport on the route (road checks).   

Your tour is a constructor. 

It consists of separate day trips and is logically arranged according to a convenient transport scheme and accommodation. 

This means that you will not have a single tour leader along the entire route and the composition of the participants-tourists and guides may change every day. 

On excursions around the city of Vladivostok, you can be in a group of 40 people, on nature adventure tours – 3-30 people. 

This allows you to save the budget of tourists, there are no maintenance costs and the salary of a personal tour leader.

But this circumstance places the responsibility for their journey on the participants.

If you have any questions, you can always ask the virtual tour leader, the guide on the route, your fellow travelers, and local residents. 

We provide all the necessary contact information in 1 day by SMS or WhatsApp.

Alerts are received for each excursion day! 

What is not clear – ask! You can be sure that we will not forget about you.

Age limit: tourists from 10 to 60 years old. 

Important! The travel agency reserves the right to change the order of excursions, as well as replace them with equivalent ones while maintaining the total volume of the excursion program.

In case of a storm warning, adverse weather conditions, the travel agency has the right to change the excursion program unilaterally. If, due to weather conditions, a sea excursion to the Marine Reserve does not take place, then the travel agency offers an overland excursion, or a free day at the hotel in the Khasansky district.

Attention! Our tour is an adventure!

This means that the program may change depending on circumstances – weather, wind, fog, emergency conditions on the road, stretch over time due to the quality of roads, etc. 

This is primarily due to the fact that we are significantly moving away from Vladivostok for long distances, more than 4 hours on the way in one direction, one third of the roads are unpaved. 

That is why we do not recommend that you take children under 10 years old with you on this route. 

According to the tour, routes to the clean, beautiful sea are planned. But the beaches are not equipped! There are no toilets, changing rooms, cafes and shops. We take everything with us – a bedding to lie down, a towel or a poncho, a hat, sunscreen, water, a picnic lunch. Don't take too much.

Visits to protected areas also have their own characteristics – they require registration of permits, priority and other features.

Upon return, tourists in Vladivostok are dropped off in the city center, near the square of the fighters of the revolution.

There is no collection and delivery to hotels!

If we arrive late, you will need to make sure that you are met or call a taxi.

A picnic lunch is included in the program from Thursday to Monday. 

A snack in lunch boxes, in individual packages, or an alternative option. No menu selection.

If you require special meals (vegetarian, dietary, etc.), please inform us when booking the tour so that we exclude a picnic lunch from the program for you. 

In this case, the organization of the snack is entirely yours.

The Far Eastern Marine Reserve is the only one in Russia. Located in the south of the Far East, over 98% of the area is the water area of Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan. The small protected islands are home to the world's largest colonies of black—tailed gull and Ussuri cormorant, the only nesting sites in Russia for the world's rarest birds, the yellow-tailed heron and the lesser spoonbill. The main objects of protection of the Far Eastern Marine Reserve include the Far Eastern trepang, Kamchatka crab, giant octopus, larga seal, primorskiy scallop, and seabird colonies. Whales, minke whales, killer whales, and dolphins enter the waters of the reserve. In 2003, the reserve received the international status of a biosphere reserve.

The Shore of the Singing Pines tour (in the water area):
The tour introduces you to the sights of the Eastern district of the Marine Reserve. During the boat trip, you will get acquainted with the geological monuments of the coast, represented by rocks, grottos and kekurs. The tour route runs between the islands of Bolshoy Pelis and Matveeva, then passes south of the group of islands of De Livron, Hildebranta and Durnovo to Cape Sosnovy. The narrow ledges of the cape are completely crowned with the crowns of the most beautiful representative of the tertiary flora — the majestic thick—flowered pine and thickets of Schlippenbach rhododendron, one of the most beautifully flowering shrubs in the world. You will see a panorama of Cormorant kekurs, the place where the largest larga seal rookery in Peter the Great Bay is located. You will see the "Arch" kekur, one of the "business cards" of the reserve.

Furugelma Island belongs to the southern region of the scientific and experimental zone of the reserve. It conducts ongoing scientific research related to the development of the foundations for the conservation and restoration of marine and island communities. The cordons are located at m. Fake island, Furugelma Island, boom. Pumice stone.
Furugelma Island is the southernmost island of Russia. The world's largest colony of black—tailed gulls is located here - 30,000 pairs! It is bordered by settlements of spectacled puffins, thin-billed kires, and puffin rhinoceroses. The island serves as a resting place for some migratory birds listed in the Red Book, such as petrels, sea eagles, and skuas. During the walk you will get acquainted with the relict plants, learn the history of the island and visit the coastal battery. You will be amazed by the beauty of the natural landscapes and the dazzling transparency of the water!

Description of the active off-road route:
SUVs can be tall. When landing, it is necessary to lift your leg high or climb with an emphasis on your knee. Disembarkation takes place with a wide step, an easy jump or descent with a preliminary landing on the floor of the car. It can be a problem for people with limited leg movements!

The car drives along a forest road, overcoming various obstacles (pits, hillocks, fords, difficult sections of the road). It is forbidden to lean out of the car or get up while driving. There are technical stops and stops in beautiful places for photographing along the way. In a car, every passenger must wear a seat belt!

Before the walking part of the route, listen carefully to the guide's instructions, adjust all your clothes, and pack your things. Unnecessary items can be left in the car. The group moves compactly (it is forbidden to run ahead, lag behind, or leave the trail without warning).

Our region is not dangerous! We think so! But what do the guests need to know about? 

First of all, if you are planning a trip to the Ussuri taiga, you should know that we have encephalitic ticks. The most dangerous period is May—June, then the ticks are on the wane, in August–October there are practically none. Also, ticks usually do not live on the coast and on the islands. But there are always "lucky" tourists who find them everywhere! Therefore, it is better to prepare for a visit to the taiga. If there are no contraindications, get vaccinated against tick—borne encephalitis. But this requirement is optional — at your own risk. How to dress? Your clothes should have as few exposed areas as possible. T-shirts with long sleeves, trousers, not shorts. Cuffs or an elastic band are desirable at the bottom of the clothes, T-shirts are tucked into trousers. The clothes are smooth, without fleece and lint. Trousers can be tucked into socks. We must not allow the tick to catch on your clothes. As a rule, this little bug crawls on clothes for 30-40 minutes before biting you, looking for a "delicious tender place". Therefore, in the taiga, you need to look around every 40 minutes and remove ticks from clothes. Where should I put them? They just took it off and threw it away from themselves, into the bushes, not into a neighbor.... We tie a scarf on your head so that your hair is completely removed. Avoid tall grass, bushes, and move around the open area. Repellents ("Reftamid" or others) are very effective. The main active substance is alfamethrin, alfatsipometrin. In Vladivostok, you can buy it in cosmetics stores or pharmacies.

The medusa is a cross. As a rule, it sails to shallow, well-warmed bays in August. The main condition is warm water, algae, and often not the cleanest sea. Jellyfish are very small, no more than a 5-kopeck coin and it is difficult to see them. If you feel pain on an open area of the body, as from a burn, it is very similar to the bite of a cross jellyfish! It is necessary to get out of the sea, rinse the burn site with fresh water. You can take antihistamines. If you feel an allergic reaction of the body, go to a medical institution. Our doctors know how to help. Unpleasant, but not fatal.

Snakes. Snakes are found in the grass, on the rocks, on the paths. Be careful, do not walk barefoot, look at your feet. When you see a snake, do not touch it, move away. The snake will never attack you first. In Primorye, there is only one species of venomous snake — the muzzle. An allergic reaction develops from his bite, but the poison is not deadly. After the bite, we take antihistamines and move to a medical facility. 

On our routes, tourists are always under the supervision of a tour guide, tour leader. He will definitely warn you about the danger, he knows what to do in an emergency situation. We follow his recommendations and never overtake the guide on the route. Let him get all the dangers, as the most experienced.

During the trip, the travel agency insures tourists against an accident at the Energogarant insurance company. 

An accident is understood to mean a sudden, unforeseen event that actually occurred on the route, as a result of which a tourist's health disorder or death occurred (mechanical injuries, burns, accidental poisoning with poisonous plants, tick-borne encephalitis, drowning, etc.). 

The amount of insurance compensation depends on the diagnosis and is expressed as a percentage of the maximum coverage — 50,000 rubles.

Upon the occurrence of an accident, a tourist applies to the nearest medical institution. 

Upon returning to the place of permanent residence, the insured applies to Energogarant and provides the following documents: an application, an insurance claim signed by a travel agency, a certificate from a medical institution.
