Recommendations
Going on this excursion from Astrakhan in the summer, take care to protect yourself from the sun – wear a headdress (preferably a hat with wide margins) and light long-sleeved clothes, and also bring sunscreen and sunglasses. Do not wear high-heeled shoes on the tour. If you plan to swim, take a towel and a swimsuit (smooths). When traveling in the cold season, wear warm, waterproof clothes and shoes. At any time of the year, do not forget to bring a supply of drinking water (in summer - at least 2 liters per person, in spring and autumn - at least 1 liter per person).
For people with young children, pregnant women, the elderly, as well as people suffering from serious diseases, this tour of the Astrakhan region is not recommended, as it involves a long-term departure (at least 3 hours) on an open motor boat to a remote area.
Before the start of the water part of the excursion to the Volga delta (to the Caspian Sea) from Astrakhan, it is highly recommended to visit the toilet room, since during a long trip by boat, the possibilities for comfortable departure of physiological needs are very limited (it will not be possible to go ashore at the seaside, since there is practically no land there).
Those wishing to visit the avandelta during the mass flowering of the lotus (second half of July-August) are recommended to pay attention to excursions to the lotus (lotus) fields (valley of lotuses), and those who want to visit where the Volga delta begins, on an excursion to the beginning of the Volga delta.
Fishing during this excursion in the Astrakhan region is introductory in nature and is short (up to 1 hour), so those wishing to fish longer, we recommend to pay attention to our fishing programs.
Additional information about the unique natural complexes of the Astrakhan region can be obtained in the "Nature of the region" section of this site, as well as during a visit to the Astrakhan Museum of Local History.
