After a leisurely breakfast, we drive to Russian Island.
Once closed, Russian Island is now one of the favorite vacation spots in Vladivostok. Its territory combines modern complexes with private single-storey settlements. The coast of the island is also contrasting — from calm inland coves to cliffs and grottoes.
There are several forts and batteries of the Vladivostok Fortress in Russian, one of the oldest and most unique sights of the city soaked in the smell of the sea.
A network of unique defensive structures, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, scattered over the numerous hills and hills of the island. But besides them, there are many objects that protect the country on the island. The most famous of them is the Voroshilov battery.
After lunch, we will visit the Primorsky Aquarium, listen to the story of the appearance of life on Earth, and get acquainted with the underwater inhabitants of the Pacific Ocean. After visiting the aquarium, we will head to the beach of Akhlyostyshev Bay to take a sun bath.

Day 3 - Cape Tobizina and Voivode Bay
In the morning we will go to the edge of the Russian land – Cape Tobizina. It is a stone platform turned by winds, rains and the ocean in the south of Russian Island. Photos do not convey all the beauty and power of this place, you need to see it with your own eyes.
After admiring the incredible views of steep cliffs and cliffs, we will look at the marine farm in Voevoda Bay and taste fresh seafood.

Walking distance: up to 10 km;
Accommodation: hotel;

Day 4 - Glass Bay and Seaside Safari Park
The beach of Glass Bay sparkles like a multicolored mosaic in the sun.
Once there was a landfill here, but then the garbage stopped being brought in, the coast was cleaned, and the sea cut glass fragments and ceramic parts. Now they lie in an even layer, creating a unique landscape.
After making a stop at the glass beach, we will go to the seaside safari park, where we will chat with deer, roe deer, rabbits, otters and other animals. We will also be able to feed the Amur tiger and the Far Eastern leopard.
Bus: 250 km;

After taking off our shoes, we will be able to walk along the spit to the lighthouse, swim, and after lunch we will have an excursion on sap surfs.
