Lighthouse Aniva
One of the must-see pearls of Sakhalin is the lighthouse on the Sivuchya rock, built by the Japanese in 1939. The structure is unique in that part of it is not made by human hands and consists of rock. From the top of the tower (31 m, 9 floors) there is a stunning view of the surrounding area.
Cape Giant
You have definitely seen images of this cape when looking at photographs of the region. Picturesque arches, remains growing out of the waters and rich fauna: bird colonies nest here, seals rest, and bears can be found. This cape will not leave even the most experienced traveler indifferent!
Tikhaya Bay
This place fully lives up to its name: the bay is sheltered from winds and bad weather by the stone walls of the Zhdanko ridge. The soothing rustle of the waves, the cries of seagulls, the majestic atmosphere and the bizarre shapes of the foot of the rocks, carved by the waves.
Sea lion rookery
The old breakwater of the Nevelsk port is one of three places in the world where sea lions can be observed in close proximity to a populated area. A sea lion is even depicted on the coat of arms of Nevelsk.
Mount Zhdanko
The highest point of the ridge of the same name is 682 m. From the top of the mountain you can enjoy an incredible view of the island. On the ridge formed by lava flows, many endemics grow - unique plants not found anywhere else in the world.
Cape Crillon
Cape on the southern tip of Sakhalin Island. Crillon is not only a breathtaking panorama of the ocean, but also an open-air museum. There is an active lighthouse built in 1883 and a working weather station. In good weather, the coast of Japan can be seen from the cape.
Mount Spamberg
This mountain is notable for its hydraulic system: in addition to gushing springs, streams and picturesque waterfalls, at an altitude of 800 meters there are 18 fresh mountain lakes, the only ones on the island. Shuisky Waterfall (35 m) is one of the generally recognized wonders of Sakhalin.
Moneron Island
An uninhabited natural park 43 km from the coast of Sakhalin. Crevices, grottoes, rocks, seal rookeries and bird colonies, crystal clear water with a rich underwater world, and sometimes you can’t believe that this amazing place is really in Russia.
Lake Busse
Gastronomic lake. Where else can you literally catch seafood delicacies with your bare hands - giant oysters, mussels, shrimp, sea urchins, whelk, scallops. Here you can also meet fur seals, seals, and eagles. The local landscape will not leave you indifferent - the surface of the water and glades, ideal for a picnic.
Sea and river fishing
In coastal waters there is a lot of cod, pollock, flounder, greenling, and halibut. There are also huge schools of salmon here - seal, pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon. And, of course, a freshly prepared catch is the best reward after an exciting fishing trip.
Bears of Iturup Island
This Kuril island is famous for many attractions: cliffs, volcanoes and bays, but Iturup’s calling card is bears. There are more than 1,500 of them here. In addition, this island can be called a fishing paradise - here you can catch pink salmon, chum salmon, halibut, and crabs.
Yanquito Lava Plateau
The beach is like something out of a science fiction movie: frozen volcanic lava has formed bizarre rocks on the seashore. These places are especially beautiful at sunset, when the dark brown walls of the rocks turn shades of red, as if transporting us to another planet or to a time when an ancient volcano woke up.
Black and White Rocks
Fabulously beautiful places on the island of Iturup. The black rocks are lava outcrops of basaltic volcanic rocks, while the white rocks are composed of pumice and volcanic glass. Another reminder of distant times when nature created these amazing landscapes that today evoke thoughts of Iceland.
You are just a few steps away from your dream trip!

Boat trip to Aniva lighthouse
We begin our adventure with a visit to the legendary Aniva lighthouse - one of the list of the most mysterious and interesting places on Earth. The mysterious tower, built in 1939 by the Japanese, rises on the Sivuchya rock, at the junction of two water elements - the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. The lighthouse seems to grow out of the rock, since part of it is miraculous.
We will cover the long path to the lighthouse in comfort, enjoying the beauty of the mountains, sea breeze and majestic waterfalls. At the same time, we’ll test our luck - if we’re lucky, during this walk we will be accompanied by amazing creatures - killer whales, dolphins and seals.

Jeeping for Cape Giant
We sit on SUVs and go to the Bird Cape. The path lies along the wild, untouched by civilization places - almost by off -road, through a dense forest, overcoming hills and passes. Already this road can be considered a full -fledged adventure, but at the end we will find even more exciting experience - we will reach the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk and see Cape Giant.
This unique natural monument is familiar to everyone who has been interested in Sakhalin. This coast with fantastic cliffs that rise along the entire coast from Cape Bird to Cape Giant is the calling card of the region. Majestic stone arches, loud flocks of seagulls, proud cormorants and lightning swifts, a narrow strip of sandy beach, coniferous forests on the sea terrace... An unforgettable experience and the proximity of untouched nature.

Sea and river fishing
Real fishing adventure! Both an amateur and a professional fisherman is simply obliged to experience it.
Sea fishing on Sakhalin or Island of Iturup will be organized by a comfortable fishing yacht. Tackle, bait and experienced guides - everything is at your service! In the coastal waters, it is easy to catch cod, pollock, flounder, strut. In the summer, along Sakhalin, huge jambs of Pacific salmon (Sima, Gorbusha, Keta, Kizhum) migrate. At a depth, you can catch a plaster, slopes and even a shark.
River fishing in this region is also exciting and will certainly be successful! We will go to the Langeri River. Here, pink salmon goes here, literally filling water and displacing any other fish. However, a year for a year does not have to, and with a slight filling in the Gorbusha River in Langeri, you can catch Golts and Kunju.

Iturup is a concentration of the unique spirit of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. On the largest island of the Kuril archipelago, volcanoes lie dormant, the sea meets the ocean, and the ringing silence is broken only by the cries of birds. Here you will probably see a bear - after all, there are more than 1,500 of them on the island.
We will explore Iturup and visit the most interesting sights. We will admire active and extinct volcanoes, see one of the highest waterfalls in the country (141 meters), and admire the alien landscape of the Yanquito lava plateau.
