You must arrive in Kem no later than 07:00.
07:30 Boarding the ship to Solovki.

10:00 Arrival. You will be met at the pier and will take an organized transfer to the hotel, where you can leave your belongings.
10:30 Sightseeing tour of the Solovetsky Monastery.
Be careful: we cannot guarantee that this tour will not change your worldview forever. The monastery is not only a historical landmark. It is a functioning monastery and an opportunity to meet people who devote themselves to fasting and prayer.

13:30 Lunch at a cafe on Solovki and check-in at the hotel.
14:30 Bolshoy Zayatsky Island tour is one of the most popular in Solovki.
Zayatsky Island is unique. It is special even in the list of Solovetsky Islands, because it offers an amazing panorama of the Solovetsky Monastery.
A delicate floral and berry carpet, dancing birches and gray glacial boulders. An atmosphere of immense peace and happiness.
18:00 Dinner at a cafe.
And, of course, we set aside free time for walking around the island, you can rent a bike at a rental point or look at the extraordinary views of the island.

Day 2 - Long Bay Boat Trip
08:00 We start our second day with a hearty breakfast, gaining strength for a busy day.
09:00 Excursion "Long Lip" with tasting of White Sea mussels.
An exciting ecological boat trip along the Long Bay, the "inner sea" of Solovki, where even in stormy weather there are rarely waves.
Driven by a fresh salty wind, a carbine boat with a motor will run past sandy beaches, countless islands and rocky ridges crashing into the water. One of them has a bird family, and the other one seems to have a seal basking in the sun.
Shallow depths allow you to see the underwater world: starfish are buried in the sandy bottom, translucent ultramarine jellyfish hover in the water, algae sway and stretch somewhere along with the sea currents.
14:00 Solovetsky lunch in a cafe.
15:00 You pick up your things from the hotel. Transfer to the pier.
15:30 Boarding the ship.
16:00 Departure by boat from Solovki to Rabochiostrovsk.

about provider

5 Nov, 2024

I really enjoyed the trip—thanks to the tour managers! Everything was well-organized and clearly planned. I especially appreciated how quickly they responded to any questions I had and explained everything patiently. Even though I was traveling solo, all the excursions felt lively and engaging. It was a bit disappointing that the last tour was canceled, but I appreciated the advance notice, which gave me the chance to arrange a visit on my own. I’ll definitely recommend you!
