When visiting Lake Baikal during a short trip many people come to Listvyanka which is the most visited tourist destination at the lake. This place is located in the southern portion of the crescent-shaped lake which is very easy to access as both Trans-Siberian railway and highway lines come close to the lake shoreline. Easy access by ground transportation resulted in a mass tourism of both foreign and local visitors to the south of the lake.

For people who would rather enjoy traveling away from beaten routes middle and northern portions of the lake are highly recommended to visit. Most of these places are next to impossible to reach from the ground, leaving water ways the only means of transportation. At the same time, the lack of regular boat routes and comparatively high cost of private water transport preserved most of the remote destinations in its pristine beauty.

On this tour package we offer you an opportunity to combine it both. You are going to start and end your trip with the individual excursion program to the most important tourist sights of Irkutsk and Listvyanka and join a cruise on board of the scheduled motor vessel cruising from Olkhon Island to Listvyanka along the secluded western coast of the lake.

N.B.! Cruise add-on found in this tour is a segment of the bigger scheduled joint cruise around Lake Baikal. This joint group cruise is run on two vessels commuting from Listvyanka near Irkutsk to the middle portion of Baikal, then further to the north of Baikal, and after that all the way back to Listvyanka. These boats are for small groups of maximum 10-15 people. There will be 8-12 more people on board besides you who would most likely be Russians. Cruise guides are required to speak English, and they will make all efforts to help overcome the language barrier among the cruise participants, but one should note that the first language of the excursions on board may be still Russian.
