Baikal Boat Trips
Cruise the lake with a choice of different ships, that suit every company and budget, and see what no one else could see!
Advantages of Baikal Lake boat cruises
70% of Lake Baikal territory is impossible to visit by land. Those shores are the Northern Basin, Baikalo-Lensky & Barguzinsky nature reserves, part of the Pribaikalsky national park.
The vast land of thousands square kilometers is very rare visited by the majority of tourists and remains totaly uninhabited by people. Good reason why those unique shores are still wild and untouched is the absence of the roads. One can reach pristine sandy bays and rocky capes of lake Baikal only when travelling by water.
Within one lake choose the right destination, that's why this is so much about it. Plan to make a stopover for a rest, feel tired from the Trans-Siberian ride - go to Listvyanka or Olkhon Island. Looking for a place to wonder or the place to return - take one of our Boat Tours to the Northern Basin, Baikalo-Lensky and/or Barguzinsky nature reserves. It is the only way to see the most out of the best in a short period of time.
