Before you request

The meaning of the direction, the inputs we need and the pre-payment check — in one short block.
Why the boat format is convenient
A boat brings you quickly to the CBZhd shoreline and gives you a different angle: Baikal, tunnels, retaining walls and the old sections of the line are all visible from the water. It is a good option if you want a rich route of a few hours rather than a long day with a train and a tricky connection.
What we confirm in advance
We check the pier, departure time, duration, the wind forecast and the available vessel. Boat programs depend on the day's conditions, so the program is only fixed after we confirm the date and that it is safe to go out.
