Customer Testimonials

We had a really terrific trip: it was very well organised by you in the first place, so that all the planning was very easy. When we got there (and for the duration of the trip) we were delighted by the huge level of logistical support that was included in the trip, so that we all felt really well looked after and that the holiday was very good value. The guides - both on and off the ice, were very professional and we always well informed and in very capable hands. The standard of accommodation and food again exceeded expectations. Further to all this we were able to achieve what we aimed to do, and that was to make this incredible journey on the ice, skating more than 200 kms in 5 days in one of the most incredible places in the world - Baikal Lake! I would recommend you most favourably. Very many thanks form all of us!

Wild skating and walking at the ice of Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal in Siberia is listed as a Unesco World Heritage site and was also voted as one of Russia's Seven Wonders. It's not hard to see why. Baikal is one of those rare spots on the earth where nature has still remained genuine and untouched. The magnificent landscapes – the lake is surrounded by high mountain chains - and the unique clarity of the crystal-clear water, which runs into a darkness teeming with fish.

Lake Baikal in Siberia is listed as a Unesco World Heritage site and was also voted as one of Russia's Seven Wonders. It's not hard to see why. Baikal is one of those rare spots on the earth where nature has still remained genuine and untouched. The magnificent landscapes – the lake is surrounded by high mountain chains - and the unique clarity of the crystal-clear water, which runs into a darkness teeming with fish. Siberians believe that Lake Baikal's water has curative properties, and habitually call it the freshwater. It is rich in oxygen, and as pure as distilled water. Baikal is the oldest and deepest lake in the world. The lake is so big, that it would take around four months, at normal walking speed, to walk all the way around it. Baikal is a world of its own, like nothing else on Earth. It's worth to see!

The first time the great Russian writer Anton Chekhov came to the shores of Lake Baikal, he realized that everything he had seen before was prose and that “everything afterward was poetry.” Visitors from all over the world come to experience this vast and sprawling lake. It is so grand that the Russians have dubbed it the "Sacred Sea."
It is the deepest (with a maximum depth of 5,387 ft) and oldest (formed about 25 million years ago) lake in the world. In the chilly winter Baikal is a real fairy-tale, it freezes completely forming a unique phenomenon - a crystal-clear ice sheet that can be over 3 ft, giving the opportunity to take a sneak peak into Baikal's underwater world.
Baikal is also home to some of the most unique and exceptional aquatic life with over 3,500 species of plants and animals inhabiting the lake, 70% of which can be found nowhere else in the world. While these animals dwell on the bottom of the lake, visitors can still enjoy the local seals called "nerpas", which are one of the three freshwater seal populations on Earth, as they frolic on the rocks scattered around the lake.
The lake encompasses 27 islands, the most famous of which is the pilgrimage site and home of shamans - Olkhon Island. Buryat tribes inhabit Baikal's eastern side and have been rearing goats, camels, cattle and sheep on this territory for centuries.
Viewing the clear night sky in Lake Baikal is vastly different than anywhere else in the world. With the absence of city lights, stargazing around Baikal is a truly remarkable experience. After spending the day enjoying the lake and its surroundings, visitors can enjoy fresh food from any one of the local vendors. Many of the vendors will prepare classic Siberian dishes such as omul.
Depending on the season, there may even be special events to celebrate the winter or the coming of spring. As one of the world's most mystifying creations, Lake Baikal is an essential visit for travelers of all ages.
