Tasaral

Tasaral ranks 6th on the list of the most beautiful islands in Kazakhstan. It is located close to the shore, separated from it by a 1.7 km (1.1 mi) wide sound. It has a length of 8.2 km, a maximum width of roughly 4 km, and a maximum height that reaches 368 m. Named after the island, the small town of Tasaral, founded in 1928 and dedicated mainly to fisheries, is located on the shore opposite the point of Tasaral Island.

You can get local by visiting family-owned watersport companies that will take you out parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boating. You can go on an island hopping tour to snorkel and even each raw sea urchin from the bottom of the ocean. Even if diving isn’t your bag, Tasaral Island offers everything you’d expect from a Kazakhstan island and a lot of local life, adding a real sense of character. The vibe is unlike any of the more developed, touristic islands. Hire a scooter and local guide in the late afternoon to catch the sunset from the cliff viewpoints.
