Description of Shearwater Coastal Cruises Diving

At Shearwater Coastal Cruises Diving they dive off the stunning coast of the Llyn Peninsula of North Wales.  They mainly concentrate on clubs and groups who charter the whole of the boat for a full day.  Their capacity is for 12 divers and each diver is asked to bring an extra cylinder, as they stay out for two dives, interspersed with a comfortable surface interval.

Strong tidal streams and deep underwater pinnacles are a feature of the area, with fabulous undersea life.  They offer wreck dives, and some people are quite impressed with they see, but these would not really satisfy the wreck diving fanatic, so they don't regard them as a feature of the area and are reluctant to overly [romote them.

Whilst they do specialise mainly in scenic wildlife cruises, they nevertheless like to do a few dive charters every year as being divers themselves. It is nice to \"occasionally mix with our own!

For any enquiries or bookings, contact Shearwater Coastal Cruises Diving and they will be thrilled to take you out on a fabulous dive!

Description of Shearwater Coastal Cruises Boat Trips

Welcome to Shearwater Coastal Cruises Boat Trips ! "Shearwater" sails daily from Pwllheli Marina, offering two cruises per day, providing they have sufficient passengers and sea conditions are suitable.   Morning cruises, afternoon cruises and evening cruises (height of the summer) are available for exceptional experiences!

Complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits are served on each cruise from the well equipped galley.  Passengers are free to move between the stern lower deck, the stern upper deck, the spacious lounge and the very popular foredeck where one is close to the action.  Shearwater has an electric flush toilet in a large toilet compartment that has a washbasin with hot and cold water, plus soap and towels.  For the comfort of their passengers and for ease of management, they have restricted the passenger capacity to just 30.  The boat has a sophisticated sound system and an underwater video camera for watching the life on the seabed, that is displayed on a large monitor in the lounge.

The Llyn Peninsula has spectacular wildlife and justifies a boat built specifically for operating in this area.   Shearwater was designed, in consultation with a marine architect, and was built (finished 2010) to their own ideas and features that were devised after 10 years experience in running Shearwater Coastal Cruises in this area.  Being an authorised passenger boat, both the building and the subsequent operation of the boat is closely supervised, checked and monitored by the Maritime and Coastguard agency of the Department of Transport.  The boat is particularly suited to disabled passengers and satisfying the needs of wheelchair bound passengers was a priority feature in the boat's design.

For an amazing sea life watching experience (come see the dolphins frolick in the waves), look no further than Shearwater Coastal Cruises Boat Trips ! Contact them today for enquiries or bookings!

Shearwater is a large (52 ft.) power catamaran charter cruiser, that is moored in Pwllheli Marina. We carry out scenic coastal wildlife cruises of the Llyn Peninsula of North Wales , in association with our agents, the Pwllheli Tourist Information Centre. We normally undertake a morning cruise of 2 1/2 hours, and an afternoon cruise of around 4 1/2 hours. In the summer months we also run evening cruises as requested, lasting from around 6 p.m. to dusk. The wildlife of the offshore islands and coast is an absolute delight. We not only have resident populations of grey seals, but also bottlenose dolphins spend the spring and summer in these waters feeding from the rich shoals of fish. We also conduct dive charters along the same coastline, usually pre-booked weekends for clubs and groups.

Things to do

Multi-Activity Provider,Educational,Water sports

"Shearwater" is a luxury charter cruiser, based in Pwllheli Marina. We conduct scenic coastal cruises of the Llyn Peninsula, visiting offshore islands where we stop by seal and seabird colonies. We are usually accompanied by resident dolphins.

We have a choice of 3 cruises. Our morning cruise departs from Pwllheli at 10 a.m. and returns at 12.30 p.m. Our afternoon cruise departs at 1.30 p.m. and returns at around 5.30 p.m. At the height of summer we also do evening cruises, departing at 6.30 p.m. and returning at dusk.

Daily cruise bookings are made by contacting the Pwllheli Tourist Information Centre (01758) 613000. We do undertake private bookings (for the whole boat - 12 passengers maximum which can be negotiated with the owners (see website).

"Shearwater" has seating for all, either outside on the deck or inside the spacious cabin, in case we have a shower of rain. Complimentary tea/coffee is provided on every trip (freshly made in our galley as we sail along). We also have a flush toilet, accessible from the deck. Boarding the boat is done by simply walking onto the stern platform and walking through a stern gate that is level with the marina walkway so there is nothing to climb over. We have experienced no problems boarding wheelchair users and the disabled.

Whilst on our cruises, each time we encounter dolphins, we undertake Photo-Identification work on behalf of the Seawatch Foundation. This organisation is tasked with monitoring dolphins and other cetaceans occurring in UK waters. We take close-up images of the dorsal fin of each dolphin encountered, using powerful telephoto lenses. Each dolphin can be readily identified by the peculiar shape, cuts and scratches on the dorsal fin. We also compete a report on behaviour/location/time and date etc. and at the end of the season, all images and reports are forwarded to "Seawatch". In 2008, we actually 'discovered' 4 dolphins that were previously unknown and did not appear on any database.

We have been carrying out our cruises since August 2001. Since that time we have built up a regular clientelle who now regard a "Shearwater" trip as an essential part of their holiday to Wales. We are told that the beautiful scenery and spectacular wildlife seen on our cruises is only surpassed by our humour and enthusiasm for what we do!

Summer Isle Tours

Operating from Ullapool Harbour in the northwest Highlands of Scotland, Shearwater cruises offer trips to Loch Broom and the Summer Isles. Our cruises are approximately 2 hours 15 minutes taking in the region's wildlife and scenery. Famed for their outstanding beauty, the Summer Isles are a collection of wonderful islands ranging in size from little more than rocks to the last inhabited island Tanera Mor. The isles and sea are home to numerous sea birds, seals, dolphins, porpoises, whales and eagles. Ullapool is a great base for a highland holiday, a day trip from the towns and villages of Scotland, or a stop over whilst doing the NC500. A trip to the Summer Isles is a must for all lovers of Highland scenery, wildlife, nature and history. Many of our passengers return again and again. Our trips last approx. 2 hour 15 minute and cost  Adults £45, Children under 16 £30. Please contact about private charters and trips.

Whales & Dolphin

Throughout the summer we encounter regular porpoise, dolphins and even whales. We are WiSe Scheme certified operators so never chase, harass or disturb wildlife but often have close experiences with wildlife that knows and trusts our boat and crew.

The Summer Isles

Even when the wildlife is quiet, the landscape and scenery is stunning. We sail out Loch Broom to Annat Bay then explore the Summer Islands and Coigach Coast taking in some of the most beautiful views, history and geology in |Scotland and the world.

Scottish Highlands

Regarded by many as one of the last wildernesses in Europe, the Highands holds many secrets and special places and we visit many of these. Seal haul outs and breeding beaches, eagle's lairs, sea bird colonies and remote untouched islands. We do our best to share these with you.

Khabarovsk: A Mediterranean Dream in Russia

Khabarovsk Bridge across the Amur River. Source: Itar Tass

Sparkling new cathedrals that blend in with fine 19th century architecture, a thriving cultural scene, and the proximity of the Taiga make this city on the great Amur River one of the most diverse in Russia.

With traces of some of the great cities of the Baltic Coast, you’d easily be mistaken for thinking you are 8000 kilometres away from the Russian Far East, but just 30 kilometres separate Khabarovsk from Manchurian China. There is, however, no hint of Asia in this city of 620,000, the last major stop on the Siberian railroad before Vladivostok.

Founded in 1858, everything from its broad tree-lined avenues, pre-Soviet heritage buildings, trams, quaint cafes, squares with fountains and a buzzing riverside, is redolent of Europe.

The city has a laidback Mediterranean feel in the summer, with sun-bathers thronging the riverside beaches to work on their tans. While summers are even hotter and more humid than those in Mumbai, temperatures plunge sharply in the winters and average around minus 30 degrees Celsius. If you like, you can take long walks on the frozen Amur river.

Famous for its ornate fountains, the city’s Lenin Square attracts hordes of skaters, local artists and families in the evenings. In the winters, the square hosts ice sculpture festivals and one of the largest New Year trees in the region.

Khabarovsk is just the perfect city you can explore through leisurely walking. Another relaxed way to savour life in the city is to take its trams, which connect the city centre to many outlying areas.

While walking through the Muravyova-Amurskovo Street, you encounter fine brick buildings from the 19th century as well as pre-Russian Civil War architecture that has been painfully preserved by the proud administration of the city. 

Lenin Square in Khabarovsk.   Source: Itar Tass

The city literally breathes history. The Muravyova-Amurskovo Street, for example, has five museums. The regional history museum is probably the best in the Russian Far East and showcases the culture of the indigenous people of the region, besides an excellent section dedicated to the Russian Civil War. The brick building was built in 1894 and lived to tell the tale of the brutal war between the Reds and the Whites.

While the city is proud of its Soviet past, with several monuments dedicated to the USSR and the partisans, who fought against foreign armies, there has also been a religious renaissance in Khabarovsk. Viktor Ishaev, a former governor, played a large role in the reconstruction of Russian Orthodox Churches, destroyed during Stalin’s purges. The imposing Uspenya Bozhey Matery (Divine Mother of God) Cathedral is one such replica and is just above the riverfront.  The city is home to the largest Orthodox Church in the Russian Far East: the golden-domed Church of the Transfiguration, which is probably the most visible building one sees from the aircraft, while landing in the city.

A stone’s throw away from the Transfiguration church is the majestic World War II memorial. It stands as a testament to the patriotism of the citizens of the Russian Far East, who lost their lives in the war against Nazi Germany, thousands of kilometres away from their hometown.

Most of the city’s attractions are close to the riverside, including a central park that stretches for about 1.5 kilometres to a hill top from where you get the best views of the city. The city owes its existence to Count Nicholai Muravyov-Amurskiy, and there’s a large statue of the founder, who was the governor general of Eastern Siberia. The area around the statue is a favourite spot for couples and when it comes to romantic settings, very few places in the country can match the sight of an autumn full moon over the Amur River, reflecting on the golden domes of a nearby cathedral.

The riverside is buzzing with activity, and has several cafes and restaurants with live rock bands performing late into the night.  There are also several hydrofoil services for those that want to cruise the Amur. A 90-minute cruise is a wonderful way to observe the illuminated riverside architecture at night, but there are longer cruises north to the cities of Komsomolsk-na-Amure and Nikolayevsk-na-Amure. These cruises are a great way to explore some of the most stunning and sparsely populated areas in all of Russia.

The Great Outdoors

No trip to Khabarovsk is complete without a picnic in the forests near the city. Many residents of the city have summer cottages or ‘dachas’ in an area called Voronezh-1, an ideal place for a barbeque, beer and folk music. There are several forest trails in the area, which is strikingly beautiful in the autumn.

However, those seeking adventure head straight for Peak Heksir, which is only about 970 metres above sea level but is a difficult trek through thick forests. The great Ussuriskaya Taiga begins in this forest, which is home to the Amur Tigers, the largest tigers in the world. The tigers have the advantage of camouflage in the autumn, but can be spotted in the winter, when blankets of snow envelop the mountain range. The forests are also inhabited by the Amur leopards, who are incredibly difficult to spot.

The path to Heksir offers splendid views of Khabarovsk and the domes of the city’s cathedrals are visible from the peak. But the piece de resistance of Heksir is the view of the Russia-China border.  The last stretch of Russian territory is at the intersection of the Amur and the Ussuri rivers. All you can see of China is a stretch of forests and there aren’t any human settlements for miles from the border.  Special permissions need to be arranged for both Russians and foreigners to climb the peak, since it’s in a politically sensitive area.

Shantar Archipelago.   Source: RIA Novosti

Khabarovsk is also close to the isolated Shantar Archipelago, a string of islands, which are only accessible in the non-winter months. This group of 15 islands in the Sea of Okhotsk are famous for their rocky cliffs and spruce forests. The archipelago is a wildlife lover’s paradise in the summer. You can spot Bearded Seals, Bowhead Whales and the endangered Western Grey Whales. Bears are aplenty in the islands, but unfortunately, each summer, there are reports of campers getting killed by bears. Wildlife experts attribute many of these cases to reckless behaviour on the part of tourists from cities. The islands are accessible by helicopter from Khabarovsk as well as via fishing trawlers that make the most of the four months a year they have before the ice flows merge the archipelago with the mainland.

Port Vanino is a seaport. Khabarovsk, Vanino

Table of contents:, general information, connections, mineral underground waters, under state protection, district center, a brief history, geographic data, nature and natural resources.

2024 Author : Harold Hamphrey | [email protected] . Last modified: 2023-12-17 10:06

The port of Vanino (on the map given in the article you can see its location) is a Russian seaport of federal significance. It is located in the Khabarovsk Territory, in the deep-water Vanina Bay. It is the second seaport of the Far Eastern basin of Russia in terms of cargo turnover - more than 20 million tons.

Vaninsky District was formed as an independent territorial unit within the Khabarovsk Territory in 1973 according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. It absorbed the northwestern part of the Sovetsko-Gavansky region, which was previously a component of the Primorsky Territory. What were the prerequisites for separating it into a separate administrative-territorial unit? This is explained by the rapid economic growth of this region in the early seventies of the last century. One of the contributing factors was the seaport of Vanino. Already in 1983, the volume of cargo handling reached a little less than nine million tons. The entire load fell on the port of Vanino (photo, given in the article) and on the railway junction. Compared to 1973cargo handling volumes doubled. Noticeable shifts also took place in the woodworking and forestry industries. So, with the commissioning of the Tumninisky timber industry enterprise and the Koshinsky timber processing plant, the total volume of logging reached one million cubic meters per year. The port of Vanino also did not lag behind and was constantly developing; its own well-equipped ferry crossing and a container terminal were opened here. And with the completion of the construction of the railway line (Baikal-Amur), Russia opens a reliable outlet to the Pacific Ocean. Port of Vanino becomes the eastern gate of our country.

This port with a sea ferry railway service serves the delivery of goods to several coastal destinations: Sakhalin, Arctic, Magadan, Kamchatka, Vladivostok, the Kuriles and other ports of the Sea of Okhotsk. In addition, goods are transported from here to the Asia-Pacific countries (China, Korea, Japan and others), the USA, Australia, Canada, India, etc. The port of Vanino is among the top ten ports of our country in terms of cargo transportation.

Vaninsky district is promising not only in terms of transport infrastructure. This region is also interesting from the standpoint of the development of the tourism industry. Attractive for vacationers are the variety of attractions, the richest nature of the area, the culture and traditions of indigenous peoples. In addition, there is a source of thermal radon waters - Tumninskiy "Hot Key". It is located in a unique place - the most beautiful valley of the Chope River.

OnThe following protected natural areas are located on the territory of the district: biological reserves (Mopau and Tumninsky), fishery reserves (Tumninsky and Khutinsky), a natural monument of regional significance (“Stone Grove”).

The National Natural Park "Goryachiy Klyuch" is located on the territory of the Northern and Tumninskoe forestries. It is located ten kilometers from the Tumin station, which is located on the Khabarovsk-Vanino line. The absolute height of this area is 280 meters above sea level. According to its quality indicators, the source (water temperature + 41 degrees Celsius) is close to the thermal waters of the Belokurikha resort.

In accordance with the decree of the head of the administration of the Khabarovsk Territory dated January 20, 1997 No. 7 “On specially protected natural areas of the Khabarovsk Territory”, Toki Island, which is located in the Tatar Strait, was included in the list of protected natural objects of local importance. It is interesting because there is a rookery of seals here. Many tourists come here to admire these pinnipeds.

Excluding fish reserves with protected forest belts on their banks, the total area of prohibited natural areas in this area exceeds 215,000 hectares. There are unique places where the fauna of the south and north, east and west, present and past mixed up. One of such places is the Tumin river basin. Here you can find unique rocky landscapes, glades withrare and exotic vegetation, interesting channels and backwaters.

Vanino is an administrative center with a population of about twenty thousand people. It arose on the site of the Oroch camp. The village has a House of Culture, two hotels and two clinics, a chain of restaurants, cafes and shops. Vanino has its own art gallery, printing house, TV repeater, local history museum, two newspapers, a local radio and television studio, four schools, a vocational technical school, a technical school and an institute. Today's regional center and the seaport form a single whole - they cannot exist without each other.

Vanino Bay was discovered in May 1853 by members of the Amur expedition. In the period from 1854 to 1901, various Russian scientists explored this region. The bay got its name in 1878 in honor of the cartographer Vanin V. K. The history of the formation of the region is rich in various transformations. First, the Far Eastern Republic was divided into separate provinces, after which the Sovetsko-Orochsky district with the center in Ust-Orochy stood out from the Primorsky Territory, then another division and reorganization, as a result of which Vaninsky and Sovetsko-Gavansky districts were formed.

Vaninsky District is located in the east of the Khabarovsk Territory. It occupies the territory between 138.5 and 141 degrees east longitude and 49 and 51 degrees north latitude. It is located on the banks of the Tatar Strait, here is the port of Vanino. total areaThe district is 25 thousand square kilometers. The eastern border runs along the shelf of the Tatar Strait, and the western border runs along the central ridge of the Sikhote-Alin massif. In the south it borders on the Sovetsko-Gavansky region, and in the north - on Ulchsky. The area of its territory is comparable to such states as Israel, Belgium or Albania. The climate in the Vanino region is monsoonal, characterized by high humidity, frequent fogs in summer, and dry in winter. The average annual rainfall is 700 mm, of which 75% rain and 25% snow. The average annual air temperature is 22 degrees, the average January temperature is minus 27 degrees.

In the river and sea waters of the region, the total area of which is 22 thousand square kilometers, many species of fish are found, such as navaga, flounder, pollock, herring, smelt, pelengas, grayling, char, malma, taimen, trout. In addition, there are also migratory salmon breeds: sima, pink salmon and chum salmon. There are ten rivers on the territory of the district, the largest are the Khugu (its length is 230 kilometers) and Tumnin (its length is 400 kilometers).

The animal world of this region is rich and diverse. Thus, upland game and wild animals are found in the forests of the Vanino region: reindeer, elk, bears, wild boars, squirrels, hares, sable, hazel grouse, capercaillie. Local forests are also rich in berries, lingonberries, blueberries, blackberries, and honeysuckle grow here. In addition, there are a lot of mushrooms and cedar trees.

Forest resources of the regionare the most important component of its economy. It belongs to the richly forested regions with 2.5 million hectares of forest plantations. Timber reserves are estimated at 224.8 million cubic meters.
