Winter excursion to icefalls in the Tikhoi Bay

Description of excursion

The Torii Gate marks the sacred grounds of the Higashi Shirauraura Inari Jinja Shinto Shrine, which was opened in 1914. The gate bears the inscription “In honor of the 2600th anniversary of the founding of Great Japan” – this mythological date was widely celebrated in 1940. From the upper platform there is an excellent view of the village, the sea and the hills.

Tikhaya Bay is a unique natural corner located in Makarovsky district, 130 km from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The bay is located in the Gulf of Patience, on the eastern coast of Sakhalin. The first Russian navigator Ivan Kruzenstern called the bay “Quiet”. The Zhdanko Ridge covers the bay from the road side.

Icefalls are a unique place. It takes about 40 minutes to reach the first frozen waterfall. You will be surprised and inspired by the winter views of Tikhoi Bay.

Hello. We have been to Cape Krilion with you. Most of the way is off-road, but thanks to Maria, our driver-guide, even a 10-year-old child could make the trip. The journey was interesting, with stops in picturesque corners, waterfalls, lighthouses, places of military equipment parking, heritage of the Japanese period and all this with informative stories of Maria. And his majesty – Cape Krilion – the meeting place of the seas, with its vastness, winds, fogs! Thank you to Prosakhalin Company and Maria, who turned the idea into a beautiful reality!

We are from Yekaterinburg, do not mind placing our review on the site.

Good evening, the trip was super! We would like to mention Grigory, very interesting, positive, cool person, despite the fact that on the way back there was a problem with the boat, it was fun and no panic! I would like to use his service in the future, a trip to Cape Krilion!

I would like to thank ProSakhalin for two wonderful days, especially our driver-guide. Maria – you are Super!!!
On July 22 we went to Cape Krilion, the road is long and difficult, but Maria made our way interesting and varied. On July 23 we went to Cape Giant together. For these two days I received a sea of new emotions and positivity. Thank you!
Next year I will definitely use the services of this tour operator.
Good luck to you, new ideas and new routes!

Hello! I wanted to write a review on your site, I couldn’t find it, so I’ll write it here. We are very grateful to you for the excursion to Aniva lighthouse! We were the first ones there, we had 15-20 minutes to wander around without other groups. Super fast delivery! Super fast boat! Thank you very much to your company! It was Aniva that left us with the most emotions!

Hello
I would like to leave a review of the tour
Everything went just great! Thank you so much to every organizer, every driver accompanying us to the sites, doing the cooking for all of us
Thank you to the manager who quickly sorted out the rearrangement of seats so that we saw what we wanted to see
We would like to single out the trip to Busse Lake and the guys accompanying us
Maxim and Sergey are our heroes, who took us to the place, telling us interesting facts about Sakhalin, had a wonderful “outing” on the lake, where they told us everything about the inhabitants of this place, as well as explained how and what to catch, on arrival at the camp they also arranged a wonderful dinner-show, which brought everyone into full delight.
All in all, they are very cool guys
