I am traveling to Irkutsk, Russia in late September and would like to get to Olkhon Island (Khuzhir). I have checked the following boat and bus schedules:

And it appears as though there is no transportation in late September—but it could also be that they have not updated / don't display the winter season yet.

What is the best way to travel to Olkhon in late September?

While the VSRP hydrofoils stop running as soon as the tourist season is over in late August, per WayToRussia the bus+local ferry combo keeps operating until Lake Baikal freezes over completely in December.

I found the avtovokzal bus schedules to be 100% accurate last month (not really surprising, since you can also buy tickets online), so I'd suggest keeping an eye out -- they'll publish the new schedule sooner or later.
