Siberia is known for its beauty. Dense forests, endless fields, and wide, clean rivers of Irkutsk are comfortably located in a city with an amazing history. Many sights of Irkutsk are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Register. And it is not without a reason. It is difficult to find a place where the same number of colorful merchant houses, carved churches, and ancient wooden monasteries would still be preserved. In addition, the city of Irkutsk is just an hour's drive from the legendary Lake Baikal.

Transfer to the Listvyanka village, located on the shore of Lake Baikal. Fascinating with its pristine nature and mysteriousness, the lake is located almost in the very center of Asia. The water surface, which shimmers with amazing light, stretches for 620 (!) Kilometers from north-east to south-west. The cleanest, deepest in the world and, without a doubt, the most beautiful lake Baikal, has rightfully taken its place in the UNESCO World Heritage List. People living near Lake Baikal call it mysterious and mystical. Baikal is always incredibly beautiful and attractive, but especially in summer. Boarding the ship and getting to know the crew. A professional chef will cook for you during the cruise. For the beginning of our cruise, we will solemnly open a bottle of champagne! From Listvyanka village we will move north along the western coast of Lake Baikal. On the way, we will see the only settlements in this part of Lake Baikal - Bolshiye Koty and Bolshoye Goloustnoye. In the evening we reach one of the most picturesque bays of Lake Baikal - Peschanaya Bay. Here, a clean semicircular beach is guarded by two rocks against the backdrop of the taiga slopes of the Primorsky ridge. You can only get here by the water.

Today you will have a long trek from Peschanaya Bay to Maloye More (Small Sea) - about 130 km. There are no settlements in this part of the Baikal coast.

We will walk at Cape Burkhan (Shamanka) - a sacred place of the Buryats, one of the nine shrines of Asia, the habitat of the main spirit of Baikal. Then we will reach the northern part of the island, where we will spend the night in one of the island's bays.

You are going to cross Lake Baikal in its widest and deepest part, the geographical center of the lake. Sailing over a one and a half kilometer abyss, you will enjoy stunning views of the lake and the mountain range of the Svyatoy Nos Peninsula.

Chivyrkuisky Bay is one of the most picturesque bays of Lake Baikal. Its ingeniously painted coves, steep cliffs, majestic headlands, bird colonies, and abundance of fish make it incredibly attractive. The bay is considered to be the warmest on Lake Baikal. Fishing. Swimming in the hot springs of the Zmeinaya Bay. Walk along the coast of the Svyatoy Nos peninsula to the Millionnaya bay.
