Optional for an additional fee (order when booking the tour, payment is made on the tour to the guide):
- Walking tour "The history of the Solovetsky special purpose camp. 1923-1939." (duration 2.5 hours).
On this tour, visitors will learn about the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp, the stages of the camp's development and its reformation in 1937 into the Solovetsky Special Purpose Prison, as well as the fate of prisoners.
They will visit a new exhibition about the camp and a monument to Solovetsky prisoners.
The cost is 1,300 rubles/person.
- A boat trip along the Long Bay (duration 4-5 hours).
An exciting ecological boat trip along the Long Bay – the "inner sea" of Solovki, where even in stormy weather there are rarely disturbances.
A carbureted boat with a motor, driven by a fresh salty wind, will run past sandy beaches, countless islands and rocky ridges crashing into the water.
On one of them there is a bird family, and on the other, it seems, a seal is basking in the sun.
Shallow depths allow you to see the underwater world: starfish are buried in the sandy bottom, translucent ultramarine jellyfish are floating in the water, algae are waving and stretching somewhere along with the sea currents.
The price of the tour includes a bus transfer to Long Bay and back, as well as tasting of White Sea mussels – perhaps you are lucky enough to find a real White Sea pearl in one of them.
Don't forget to bring a light snack and drinks.
Cost: adult — 2,500 rubles/person; child 3-10 years old — 2,000 rubles/person.

The tour period is July – August, when active harvesting of algae begins in the village.

Here is the site of the Arkhangelsk Algae Combine, the only enterprise in Russia that is engaged in the extraction and deep processing of Arctic algae, and the village of algae harvesters.
