Tourists reviews of vacations on the Shantar Islands

Good afternoon, our tour from July 13 to July 21, 2024, was an unforgettable experience. We first stayed at the Gorbusha camping resort, then on the second day moved on to Wrangel Bay.. Absolutely breathtaking.. At the start, we traveled by minibus with drivers Andrey and Roman, who were professional, careful, and responsible. Later, we were welcomed by outstanding professionals – captains Andrey and Sergey, along with navigator Kozmin, who accompanied us throughout the entire journey on the catamaran. At the Gorbusha base, administrators Oksanochka and Lenochka took care of us with such warmth and attention.. Like real magic! The chefs, Pavel and Anya.. Worked wonders in the kitchen, treating us to delicious meals that made us gain some weight 🤣.. We even had the chance to exchange tips on fish cutting.. Despite the rapidly changing weather, we explored the bays and were lucky enough to see whales, ORCAS, and seals. Every member of the team was knowledgeable and could lead excursions, sharing fascinating insights along the way. A huge thank you to the Gorbusha staff. A special shoutout to Ivan, who woke up early every day to make sure we had hot water, showers, and a bath – truly appreciated. At Wrangel Bay, you can watch whales around the clock, whether from a boat or even just from the shore. It’s a lively and bustling place, with many visitors, but the experience was incredibly rewarding. Scientists also gave fascinating lectures, adding to the adventure. The camping resorts were well-maintained, clean, and organized. In Wrangel Bay, there were occasional queues for the showers due to the number of guests, but that’s just part of the charm. It was a fantastic trip.
