Baikal Legends was founded in 2012 with one goal: to show travelers the real Lake Baikal — not just the postcard version, but the living, breathing wonder of Siberia. Over 14 years, we have guided thousands of guests from across the world to the world's deepest lake, and we are proud to say that many of them come back for more.
We are a fully licensed Lake Baikal tour operator based in Irkutsk, offering summer and winter group tours, as well as individual programs tailored to your dates and preferences. Every tour we run is carefully designed to give you maximum experience — breathtaking landscapes, local culture, professional English-speaking guides, and seamless logistics from arrival to departure.
At Baikal Legends, we believe that a great journey is built on trust, attention to detail, and genuine care for every traveler. That is why we personally oversee each departure, maintain long-term relationships with our partner hotels and transport companies, and respond to every inquiry within 15 minutes.
Whether you are dreaming of the crystal-clear waters of Olkhon Island in summer, or the surreal frozen landscape of winter Baikal with its transparent ice and frozen grottos — we have the perfect tour for you.
Departures every Tuesday and Saturday from Irkutsk. Tours from $850 per person.
