One of the most popular modes of transport used for excursions to remote areas is the helicopter. Lake Baikal is a popular destination, with both individual and group flights regularly booked. Not everyone enjoys hiking, and not all the attractions located near this lake are accessible by car. Book a helicopter ride with our company: we specialize in unusual routes, offering both standard and custom-tailored excursions. Regardless of your choice, the flight will be a memorable one!

 

The best routes for air travel enthusiasts

During a helicopter tour of Lake Baikal, you can see the following sights:

  • The Valley of Volcanoes. Located in the eastern Sayan Mountains, it attracts tourists with its numerous extinct craters and picturesque lava flows.
  • The rivers of the Baikal Basin. By helicopter, you can fly over the Shumak, Kitoy, Onot, and other bodies of water, visit the Mramorny Stream waterfall, and several mountain canyons, the views of which from above are truly breathtaking.
  • The Ushkany Islands are famous for their abundance of human-sized anthills, as well as their remarkable topography and colorful forests. On the islands themselves, you can visit an eco-trail and watch seals.
  • Frolikha. This lake is the dream of many avid fishermen. It's usually reached by helicopter from Irkutsk, a flight that takes about three hours. It's home to lenok, grayling, taimen, and pike, and the most fortunate anglers can catch the davatchan, a relict species.
  • Chivyrkuisky Bay. Located on the east coast, it offers a magnificent view of sandy beaches. Getting here by air is the easiest and fastest way, and during your visit, you can not only enjoy fishing and relaxing on the beach but also take a dip in the healing thermal springs.

We offer competitive rates for those seeking a private helicopter. Baikal is one of the destinations where our company offers the best route options. You can book a flight over the rivers flowing into the lake, or visit the Ushkany Islands or Frolikha. You can book a roundtrip or an overnight trip. You can inquire about pricing and book a tour by phone or through the contact form on this page.
