Our journey begins with the departure of the ferry at 12:00 from the main seaport of Sakhalin – Korsakov.
As a welcome gift, we will arrange a transfer from your hotel (in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk or Korsakov) or Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airport to the building of the sea station.
A sea cruise to Shikotan Island awaits us on the ferry. During the cruise, we will have a good chance to meet flocks of dolphins, killer whales and whales.
We will pass by the Aniva Lighthouse, beautifully illuminated by the setting sun, and go out into the Sea of Okhotsk, where we will meet the sunset far from the shores.
Also, the ferry is a great opportunity to have a good rest and sleep before the next adventure on a new island. In good weather, the pitching is insignificant. We will tell you how to behave correctly on the ferry in order to minimize motion sickness and make the cruise comfortable.
