Cruises from Utashud Island

Utashud Island is a small rocky island located in Vestnik Bay, just 4 km off the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the NW Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Kuril Islands chain in the Russian Far East, located directly to the north of Japan and east of Sakhalin. There is little vegetation on the island, and tall, sharp cliffs are its only ornament. This wild place is the domain of marine birds and mammals, and is included in the Yuzhno-Kamchatskiy Nature Park.
