It's important to know

What else is important to know?

The tour is available for persons over 10 years old. 

The maximum number of people in one group is 16. 

7-10 days before the start of the tour, we will open a group chat in Max, where we will get to know each other, remind you about the things you will need on the trip, tell you about souvenirs, restaurants and ongoing festivals.

The difference in hours: Moscow – +7. 

Registration for additional excursions is carried out when booking the tour, payment is possible on the spot. Guided tours will take place when recruiting a group of 5 people or more.

There are two meeting points along the route: the Cosmos Hotel and the Ocean Cinema.

On the first day of the tour, the whole group meets at the exit of the Kosmos Hotel (in hot weather in the hotel lobby). 

From the second day of the tour, there are two boarding points:

  1. Stop "Tool factory" (one minute from the "Cosmos" hotel. The parking lot of the hotel is often blocked by cars, so as not to waste time on check-out and check-in, we will meet you at the bus stop). 
  2. Rotunda at the Ocean cinema. 

The order of boarding at the pick-up points for the tour can be adjusted depending on the traffic situation. The route supervisor will post the exact pick-up time at the rotunda and hotel in the chat the day before departure for the tour. 

The seating on the bus is not fixed! If you get seasick, stock up on special equipment, because in addition to transportation, there will be a lot of boat trips, and these are waves!

It is important to understand that the weather in Primorye is very unpredictable! Typhoons, bright sun, fogs — all this can make adjustments to the order of excursions. 

There are no equipped berths on Furugelma and Putyatina. Be ready to get off the boat into the water and walk to the beach. 

Of course, we don't forget — the captain is always right! We listen carefully and follow all the instructions on board the boat. Safety is above all!
