At the very end of the world. Black Island.
Hello, dear traveler! Get ready for a captivating adventure at the end of the Earth. We are heading for a mysterious Black Island – Kunashir. It bears this dark name for a certain reason. The black color of the soils, the dark green verdure of its forests and thick fogs – all this forms the atmosphere of Kunashir.
Four volcanoes make the island famous: Tyatya, the one with a towering vent and a round crater; Mendeleev, Gorlovina and Rurui volcanoes. Near the dormant giant of Gorlovina volcano there are two famous lakes – Kipyashee and Goryachee (Boiling and Hot). And the nature there is as if it has not been touched by the fleeing times, it is primeval and dark.
Here you will find natural miracles: enigmatic rocks, steaming lakes, smokey fields and lagoon oases. Kunashir Island is a real end of the world where amazing landscapes await you.
And you know what makes hearts of the travelers race still harder here? Its culinary delights, of course! On Kunashir you will enjoy delicacies of the Far East, you will feel the authentic flavor of the local cuisine.
We have prepared as well an excursion to Cape Stolbchaty for the lovers of the natural miracles, and this cape is recognized by UNESCO as a monument of world significance.
A trip to Kunashir is not just a recreation, it is a true discovery. Prepare yourselves to incredible adventures, new impressions and a great deal of unforgettable moments.

We shall meet at the airport of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and after checking in we will fly to Yuzhno-Kurilsk.
On arrival at the Mendeleev’s airport, we will have a transfer to the hotel. After checking in and leaving our luggage we will go to the first excursion – to the Pacific Ocean. On our way you will get to know Yuzhno-Kurilsk and learn some interesting facts from the guide.
Having reached the coast, you will see the famous sea stacks (kekurs) of Kunashir Island. Kekurs are residual rock outcrops standing along the shoreline. These spectacular natural attractions are called Devil’s Finger and Devil’s Gate.
After the walk along the sea and the excursion we will go to the dinner after which you will have free time at the hotel. You may use it for relaxation or seeing around the city.

The morning of the second day will begin from the breakfast at a café at 09:00. In an hour we will depart to the route of moderate difficulty called “Large fumarolic field of Mendeleev Volcano” by a car for about 17 km.
By the way, a fumarolic field consists of smoking cracks on a volcano surface. Mendeleev Volcano is an active one.
The ascent lies through bamboo thickets. The hike is going to take 2~2.5 hours (3 km one way). But don’t worry, we have planned the recreation stops.
We will spend 2 hours at the fumarolic field of Mendeleev Volcano which will be enough for you to enjoy the beauty and take a lot of memorable photos and videos!
After lunch (packed meals) you will examine not only the fumaroles but also the solfataras. Solfataras are emissions of hot volcanic sulfur gases. It sounds weird but looks impressive! Besides, you may swim in the thermal springs here.
At 16:00 we will depart to Lake Lagunnoye and Pervukhina Bay. You will have a rest in one of the most beautiful bays and enjoy views from Mount Sobachka (Little Dog). And of course, you will have a chance to swim in the pristine waters of the sea of Okhotsk.
On finishing our plans for the day, we will have dinner at a café and go back to the hotel.

At 09:00 we will start the morning of the third day with a hearty breakfast, and in an hour, we will leave for Golovnin Volcano by car. This is a medium difficulty route.
To reach the lakes Kipyashee and Goryachee we will drive for 42 km, after which we will have a hike for 7 km along a trail. And it will be just 2.5~3 hours of the most breathtaking views.
We will be passing though thickets of East Asia bamboo called Sasa kurilensis, and Siberian dwarf pines. We will stop for 2 hours in the caldera which is a volcanic cauldron (it is 4 km wide in case of Golovin with the ridge of 541 m in height). At the bottom you will sea craters and domes. The two craters are the two lakes – Goryachee and Kipyashee.
It is forbidden to swim in Lake Kipyashee (Boiling). Mud pools, hot steam eruptions and springs are too dangerous. But in Lake Goryechee (Hot) it is not only possible to swim, it is necessary to swim there!
From the top you may take amazing panoramic pictures.

The fourth day has come. At 09:00 in the morning a tasty breakfast awaits you in the café. Having taken our refreshments, we depart for Cape Stolbchaty by car. This route is of medium difficulty and of amazing beauty! It is a unique place unrivalled by others!
There is a common saying among the locals: “If you have not admired Stolbchaty, you have not seen Kunashir”.
Further on we walk along the Stolbovskaya eco-trail. We will linger awhile near the hot (mud) springs and then go to the shore. An unforgettable outlook on the volcanic rocks called the White Monks awaits you here.
The cape is located on the shoreline of the Sea of Okhotsk where you may take a swim. An amazing view of the clearest lagoons with azure waters is guaranteed!
For the lunch we will have a fish soup made according to a secret recipe right on the fire. Ummm…
