Lazovsky District: Waterfalls, Rocks and Coastal Scenery

The Benevskie Waterfalls, Drakonov Park and Petrova Bay represent different natural attractions in Lazovsky District: mountainous waterfall terrain, an unusual rock complex, and a bay with white sand and clear water. There is also a specific guided tour offering at the Maralovodcheskaya Farm “Zapovednaya Dolina.” For planning purposes, you can consider a hike, a farm tour and coastal scenery as distinct points of focus.

Waterfalls: Cascades and Hiking

The Benevskie Waterfalls form a cascade of 20 tiers, reaching heights of up to 14 metres. The sequence of tiers describes the cascade’s structure; the height provides a sense of its scale. You can hike to the waterfalls on your own or with an organised group. Check local conditions before setting out, and decide whether to plan independently or join a group.

Farm Tours

The Maralovodcheskaya Farm “Zapovednaya Dolina” offers daily tours for large organised groups, smaller groups and families. Advance booking by phone or WhatsApp is required. Check the current arrangements with the operator before adding the tour to your plans. Since booking is required, arranging a time is part of preparing for this visit.
