Start the day with a buggy tour of the lake. Experience the legendary ice of Lake Baikal, the cleanest lake in the world, wrapped in myths and legends, all while enjoying the utmost comfort. The buggy, a high-performance off-road vehicle often used in rally rides, is designed to conquer Baikal's icy ridges and cracks with ease. Thanks to its spike tires, low seat, stable chassis, and sturdy body, your journey will be both thrilling and safe. Take in the stunning views of the lake and capture iconic photos of the famous ice bubbles, a true natural wonder.

It is impossible to stay calm while driving on ice when we see such a universe under our feet. And the farther from the shore, the less snow we see, the ice become clearer. We never know where exactly we will get the most impressive photos but you can be certain of that: Baikal will grow upon you and reveal some secrets.

During the winter, methane bubbles trapped in Baikal's ice create an extraordinary visual display. These bubbles appear as frozen white formations in the ice and can be seen in several parts of the lake. However, some locations are particularly notable and easily accessible:

Small Sea (Maloe More)

The Small Sea is a shallow strait between Baikal’s western shore and Olkhon Island. Its shallow waters freeze quickly in winter, preserving the bubbles in the ice. The frozen surface can be traversed by vehicles, making it an ideal destination for those looking to view this phenomenon.

Optional tour to Buryat village. Come into the real Buryat yurt, be greeted by ancient traditions.The landlady will teach you to cook the Buryat national dish - buuza. Enjoy Buryat lunch and visit local museum. We arrive to Irkutsk airport in time for evening departure flights
