Things to do in Far Eastern District, Far Eastern District: The Best Outdoor Activities
Far East Russia is a world apart from the country’s west – almost literally, lying thousands of miles and many time zones away from it. A huge area with rugged mountains and spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline, Far East Russia borders China and North Korea on its south and nearly touches the United States to the northeast. Cities like Vladivostok and Khabarovsk are here, but the glorious natural wonders (like the volcanoes and national parks of the Kamchatka Peninsula) are what draw many.

My wife and i went there with a tour out of Vladivostock and it was really worth going. We were worried that we would see cramped cages, suffering animals etc but instead we saw great scientific facilities, keeping amazing animals in their natural environment, lots of happy animals that were rescued and are now kept in very good conditions. Tigers, black bears, deer, elk, boar, birds! Tour guides Rada and Sergei from Explore Primorye were very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English, we got all the interesting bits and including a very good lunch.
