10 Bus Tours in Far Eastern District That You Shouldn't Miss

January 16, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

Far East Russia is a world apart from the country’s west – almost literally, lying thousands of miles and many time zones away from it. A huge area with rugged mountains and spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline, Far East Russia borders China and North Korea on its south and nearly touches the United States to the northeast. Cities like Vladivostok and Khabarovsk are here, but the glorious natural wonders (like the volcanoes and national parks of the Kamchatka Peninsula) are what draw many.

We take a leisurely walk along the forest trail and go out onto a beautiful rock, which offers a magnificent view of the surroundings. We find an old lighthouse, which also offers a wonderful view. It will be possible to go down to the sea holding on to a rope cable, which will give our walk a bit of adventure. We will take many photos to mark this day. I have many interesting routes

Kamchatka (peninsula in the far east of Russia) was born of fire, like the Earth itself. Kamchatka has never seen quiet - its history is one of continuous, violent rebirth. It is the most active area of our planet where volcanic activity manifests itself in all its beauty. Almost everywhere the skyline is contoured with volcanoes. It composed of more than 160 volcanoes, 29 of which are still active. In addition there is a multitude of thermal and mineral springs, geysers and other phenomena of active volcanism. The volcanic area of Kamchatka has been declared since 1996 a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Kamchatka is no doubt one of the most beautiful places you’ve ever seen in your life.

Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks.

Tobizin Cape is famous for its fantastic rocks and boulders that shaped into mesmerizing structures due to million years of weathering. According to the scientists, it is a former ocean floor, which turned into land because of volcanic activity. You can find the ornaments looking like imprints of ancient plants on many of them. We start this tour every morning at 08.20 at Central Square, where guide will be waiting for you near monument to Soviet Army soldiers with the sign VLADIVOSTOK BY FOOT. Then take a bus, that`s driving along the two bridges – Russky and Golden. Then we go through the forest along hidden path to the starting point on the Tobizin cape. The route there and back is not that lengthy, only about 6 km or about 2 hours of hiking. Trail is not difficult, but it includes climbing. Finally, we find ourselves on the very edge of the Cape. Here you can enjoy the view, drink tea and walking around for about 30 minutes. Then we go back to the bus stop.
