Attractions and entertainment in Dagomys

Despite the laudatory descriptions of Dagomys in commercial and fake internet guides, attractions and interesting places in Dagomys and its surroundings "the cat did not cry". In fact, directly in Dagomys there are only a few interesting places that can be visited without long trips to neighboring areas and cities: the Museum of Krasnodar tea and retro cars and "tea houses" and tea plantations, Dagomys troughs.

Fortunately, in the Lazarevsky district, in which Dagomys is located, you can find many natural and historical attractions, visit tourist attractions and a museum. So, relatively close is the center of Sochi and the village of loo, where you can go during the day by car, bus or train to get acquainted with the sights there. You can also go on self-organized or purchased from distributors excursions to the famous Olympic Park in the village of Sirius (previously it was part of Adler), on a tour to Krasnaya Polyana, or go on a short tour for several nights to Abkhazia. Organized tours are also available to Guamka, Mezmay, gornaya Adygea. You can get acquainted with our individual guides:

• Attractions of Lazarevsky district
• All sights of Sochi
• Attractions of Sirius and Adler
• Attractions Of Loo

We strongly advise you not to use Road Transport (Taxi, personal or rented car, buses) to get acquainted with the sights in Greater Sochi, and if possible, take trains. The fact is that due to frequent traffic jams and difficult traffic on road transport, you will spend most of the time on the road, and you will have to go along the "nauseating" serpentines and stand in Tests under the scorching sun. And on an air-conditioned train you will pass this way much faster and more comfortably.

If self-organization of trips to attractions is not suitable for you, then you can buy ready-made bus excursions to all corners of Sochi, Krasnodar Territory, and even to neighboring Abkhazia, from distributors on the street and embankment, or pick up excursions with reviews on these proven sites:

• 📷 search for excursions in Lazarevskoye on Sputnik8.com
• 📷 search for excursions in Dagomys on Tripster.ru

Tourist entertainment in Dagomys is not very much, but you will not die of boredom here. In the neighboring Loo and Uch-Dere, which are only 15-20 minutes away by bus or one stop by train, there is a water park and a dolphinarium. Again, you can go to the center of Sochi and have fun there on the attractions in the Riviera park, or even go for a whole day to the coolest amusement park in Russia Sochi Park in the village of Sirius (formerly in Adler). In Dagomys you can find traditional beach and water activities, and in the evening spend time in a cafe or restaurant overlooking the sea. There is no variety of night life and dance establishments in Dagomys, everything is very folk: a cafe with a small dance floor and popular Russian and Caucasian music.

And now we tell you about the sights and entertainment of Dagomys and the surrounding area, which you can visit yourself, indicating their opening hours, cost, and how to get there:

Dagomys troughs

Dagomys troughs - this is one of the tourist routes Sochi National Park. This originally natural attraction in the form of natural spacious fonts in the canyon of the mountain river Dagomys has now turned into a recreation area of two cafes, baths, gazebos for picnics. The places here are beautiful, but if you have already been to other canyons and gorges of the Sochi National Park, then this place is hardly impressive. In addition, at the height of the season, and especially on weekends, a lot of people gather here, many of whom have fun from the heart and to the fullest with loud music, alcoholic beverages and accompanying behavior. Therefore, we do not advise to consider this place exclusively as a natural attraction, but rather as a place to relax and swim in the refreshing water of a mountain stream.

Tea houses and tea plantations in Uch-Dere

If you really have nothing to do in loo, you can go during the day to the microdistrict-village Uch-Dere, where, as stated, there are the northernmost tea plantations in the world. If you have never been to tea plantations and do not know how the most popular drink in the world is grown and processed, you can learn about it in the "tea houses" with a tour. It includes a walk around the Plantation, a guide's story and a tea party. And, of course, here you can buy fresh tea. In the houses themselves there is an ethnographic exhibition. But, unfortunately, the price for visiting this attraction is clearly overstated, but if you do not regret the time and have an extra 450 rubles, you can visit.

Museum of Krasnodar tea and retro cars

In this museum there are two private collections: vintage cars and Krasnodar tea. It was founded in 2010 by local collector Sergey Abramchuk. In the museum, he collected and restored old Soviet, American and other foreign cars Ford, BMW, Chrysler, Chevrolet and other rare brands that have now ceased to exist. The oldest of the exhibits "Ford-t" 1915 release. In addition to cars, there are agricultural and truck equipment, buses. Almost all cars are in excellent condition after restoration, and in some you can even sit and take a photo.

In addition to the collection of cars, there is a collection of samovars and Krasnodar tea, household items of the inhabitants of the region, equipment of the Old Tea Factory. By the way. And the museum itself is located on the territory of an old closed tea factory.

Water attractions and entertainment on the waterfront

On the beaches and the embankment of Dagomys, traditional water activities and simple children's attractions are offered in specially designated areas. These are the usual "bananas", "tablets", rent of jet skis and SUP-boards, boat trips, etc.for children there are rental cars for children, shooting galleries, water slides and trampolines. Prices for these entertainments depend on the season and even your ability to bargain, here is the price for reference: banana riding – 400 rubles/person; tablet – 600 rubles/person; jet ski rental – 2000 rubles/10 minutes; boat trip – 800 rubles/person; sea fishing – 1000 rubles/person; catamaran rental – 1000 rubles/hour.

Dagomys suspension bridge

The pedestrian suspension bridge of Dagomys connects two parts of the village, separated by the river. By and large, it is nothing special, because it is the most ordinary pedestrian bridge, but for some reason the guidebooks include it among the attractions. It can be used for its intended purpose to go to the other side, you can feed the flocks of fish down in the river, take a selfie, and there is nothing else to do on it.

Aqualoo Water Park

Aqualoo water park is unique among all water parks in Greater Sochi. The fact is that this is the only year-round water park, consisting of an indoor part (Winter part), as well as a playground with slides and outdoor pools (summer part). It is part of the hotel complex, where you can stay for the entire period of your vacation.

The Winter part consists of two warm pools for adults, one children's pool, four water slides, two steam rooms, a bar and a cafe. And judging by the reviews of tourists, in winter there is nothing much to do here: there is little entertainment and it is boring. But in the summer the water park opens in all its glory. In the Open-Air area there are several extreme slides, a children's area, a huge swimming pool with artificial waves and sea water, sun loungers and umbrellas, a cafe.

Avkopark has a convenient tariff policy that allows you to choose the time of visit for your needs at a different price. There is a unique tariff "Aquanoch", which includes tickets to the water park and accommodation in the room, which allows you to come here from distant resorts and cities, have fun on the slides and relax in the room.

Dolphinarium No. 1 "Loo"

This is a typical Dolphinarium, which are many on the Black Sea coast. Black Sea Dolphins, fur seals, white whales participate in an incendiary performance with music, jokes and involvement of the audience. If you and your children have never been to dolphinariums, then be sure to visit it during your vacation. If you have already been to the dolphinariums at large resorts, for example, in one of the dolphinariums in Lazarevskoye, you will not see anything special here. At the end of the show, photographing with dolphins is offered for 500 rubles, swimming with dolphins for 2000 rubles.

Ruins of a Byzantine temple or Luo temple

This is the only historical landmark in Loo, a monument of federal significance. But objectively, the ruins of the temple are not particularly interesting, and you will spend no more than 5 minutes here. In addition, the entrance to them is paid, 200 rubles. Nevertheless, lovers of all sorts of antiquities and those who believe in places of power, here may like it. Learn more about the Byzantine temple in Loo here.

Solohaul Park amusement park

In the mountainous area, 25 kilometers from the nearest shore, there is a park of extreme entertainment and active recreation "Solohaul Park" or "green Glade". There is a zipline, a rope park, a shooting range from onions and airsoft, a trampoline, zorbing (descent in an inflatable sphere on a slope), riding on an armored personnel carrier, a balloon and an airship. And all this is surrounded by tea plantations and with magnificent views of the mountains. It is worth coming here for the whole day.

33 waterfalls

There are many waterfalls in the mountainous regions of Sochi, but if you really choose to visit something during your vacation, then we would definitely recommend visiting the "33 waterfalls" in the Valley of the Shakhe River in the Lazarevsky district. In fact, most vacationers will not be able to see all 33 waterfalls, but only 13 of the most easily accessible and equipped with a convenient path and stairs. The reason is that organized group excursions, with the help of which this place is most often visited, are limited in time: usually no more than an hour is given for a walk and rest at the waterfalls, which is clearly not enough to get to the rest of the slightly more inaccessible ones. But if you really want to, you can see the other 20, although for this you will have to come here on your own and you will need to walk along the river along unequipped trails, which not everyone can overcome. In terms of time, the full route will take 2-4 hours with rest and swimming in natural pools (fonts), and if you are ready to limit yourself to easily accessible waterfalls, you can easily see them in half an hour.
