There are very few wild and deserted islands on our planet, except for the lonely reefs that go under water during high tides and frozen forever archipelagos near Antarctica and the North Pole of the Earth. However, usually the very concept of "uninhabited island" is associated with a riot of greenery and colors, which the coral islands of the southern latitudes of the Pacific Ocean can boast of. But take your time south if you haven't been to the north yet.
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to enjoy the views of the northern latitudes first, go to https://www.paromy.ru and book your ferry tickets from Bergen (Norway) to Iceland. You can get to Bergen if you have a Schengen visa by plane or also by ferry from St. Petersburg. Following the route, you will be able to make stops in the Shetland, Orkney or Farrer Islands. These archipelagos as a whole can hardly be called uninhabited, but, for example, in the capital of Farrer - Torshavn - you can hire a boat and get to one of the really wild islands surrounded by rocks. And the most popular tourist island of the Shetland Archipelago, Staffa, is generally a huge block of basalt.
Step 2
You can get to the wild island without leaving Russia. Fly to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and arrange with local carriers to take you to the Commander Islands on a self-propelled barge. You can also get there by plane from Elizovo (not far from the capital of the Kamchatka region). Do not forget to take your passport with you, since, despite the fact that the Commanders are no longer considered a zone of strict border control (since 2007), movement on the islands without a special permit obtained here is prohibited. And to look at the islands is certainly worth the bird colonies and seals' rookeries, which attracts few tourists here. And the fishing is wonderful here.
Step 3
If you do not want to leave the European part of Russia in search of an uninhabited island, then go to the White Sea. So, to get to the Kuzov archipelago, located in the northwestern part of Onega Bay, you should take a train to Petrozavodsk or fly to Murmansk, and then take a bus to the town of Kem. It is literally a stone's throw from the archipelago: only "some" 20 kilometers along the harsh waters of the White Sea. Having explored a number of small islands that make up the archipelago, you will understand what real wild islands are with their untouched and untouched nature for the sake of tourists.
Step 4
If, nevertheless, you are attracted by the southern seas, go to the website of the Green Line Tour company - https://www.gltour.ru - and reserve a place on the cargo ship Aranui, which, however, has very comfortable cabins. But first you have to get to Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, since this is where this ship begins its journey through French Polynesia. This travel company also organizes tours to Fiji. Some of the islands of this archipelago can still be called wild (Taveuni, Lomaiviti), especially since the ubiquitous hotel investors have not yet fully developed in these territories.
