On Popov Island, the cross-country walking route takes about 2.5 hours. Half of the way goes along a road and a dirt path, the second part of the route goes along the seashore, over wet stones, partially crossing 2-3 times over a rock face. You need to keep your balance, not suitable for people with leg problems! Definitely sneakers. Alternatively, you can go to Popov Island and spend time on the beach, without going on an active tour along the Likander peninsula.

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. Ticks also 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 not necessary – at your own risk. 

How to get dressed? 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 facility. 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.

The speedboat is designed for a combined group. The boat may not be closed from the wind. 

The weather at sea is changeable, be sure to bring a jacket or a warm sweater with a hood, a raincoat! 

It is mandatory to wear a life jacket on the boat! 

You need to be ready to climb in and out of the boat without a ladder — a steep nose, give a hand, help each other. It can be a problem for people with limited leg and back movements. When moving on the sea on the waves, the boat can rock and toss. 

We recommend a good raincoat not only from the rain, but also from sea spray, which in windy weather overwhelms the boat.

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 – 3-20 people. This allows you to save the budget of tourists, there are no maintenance costs and the salary of a personal tour leader.

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, do not be lazy, read! Alerts are received for each excursion day!

The tour operator 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. 

If there are no places in the selected hotel for your dates, you will be offered alternative options.

In case of a storm warning, adverse weather conditions, the travel agency has the right to change the excursion program. If the sea tour does not take place due to weather conditions, then the company offers an overland tour, or free time in Vladivostok.

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. 

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