Travel period: May – October

Group size: 1 – 12 people

Prices you can see here: PRICE-LIST

In order to catch the sleeping beauty and tranquility of the ocean with its numerous marine animals, we leave the port early in the morning. On the way to the Russian bay you can observe whales and the families of “domestic” killer whales, cutting the bay waters with their black triangular fins.  As we move further towards the bay, you will discover lazy sea otters lying in the sun near the La Perouse stones. Finally, there is a famous sea lions rookery situated at the entrance to the Russian bay (Cape Kekurniy) and containing about a hundred of animals. Huge males (beach masters) are surrounded by their harem of numerous females. The shores are inhabited by various bird colonies: cormorants, puffins, auklets, ducks and gulls swirling in the air and swooping into water for fish.

During our stop in a quiet bay every tour participant will be able to practice fishing and understand why this region is so famous among fishermen. Here one can catch flounder, perch, saffron cod, mackerel, halibut, cod, sculpin etc. A delicious lunch will be prepared for you by our professional cook: traditional fish soup “ukha”, some snacks and, of course, exceptional seafood caught by a diver. On the way back to the port our boat will pass by Starichkov island, famous for its bird colonies and you will also get to see a nest of a Steller’s sea eagle which is a wonder of the Far East.
