The northest point of Olkhon island — Khoboy cape — a very magnificient place. It's all rocky, but if you walk down the cliffs, you can take the most awesome swim in your life: imagine swimming around caves and black cliffs in the blue transparent water... It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen. You can take an excursion on Khoboy cape with any homestay in Khuzhir (main village on Olkhon).
