Description of the Aniva Lighthouse excursion
The Aniva Lighthouse excursion is one of the most popular and visited places on Sakhalin and in Russia.
The lighthouse was built in 1939 on a small rock in Sivuchi, close to an inaccessible promontory. It is one of the most original and complex technical projects of the Karafuto period, as well as an outstanding world achievement in the practice of lighthouse construction. The need to build this lighthouse was necessitated by unpredictable currents, mixing of the waters of the Sea of Okhotsk and Aniva Bay, fog, rocky shores and frequent ship traffic. The author of the project is the Japanese engineer Miura Shinobu.
The voyage begins in the village of Novikovo (it was named in honour of the legendary cruiser Novik, which fought the Japanese cruiser Tsushima in the Russian-Japanese war on 20 August 1904).
By the way, on the same road you will pass and on our other excursion – to Cape Evstafiya and Turquoise Lakes.
Going out to the sea and passing by the abandoned Yuzhnaya outpost, Marble and Mica capes by boat, in one hour and twenty minutes we will reach the destination of our excursion – Aniva lighthouse! We sail around it. Then we dock and climb the lighthouse. Take in the sights.
On the way back we moor at Marble Bay at Cape White Stone, which is a rock formed of marble with quartzite, andesite, opal, chalcedony and other semi-precious stones.

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!

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
