1. Walking tour "The history of the Solovetsky special purpose camp. 1923-1939." (duration 2.5 hours). The preliminary cost is 800 rubles/person.
On this tour, you will learn about the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp, the stages of the camp's development and its transformation into the Solovetsky Special Purpose Prison in 1937, as well as the fate of the prisoners. Visit the new exhibition about the camp and the monument to the Solovetsky prisoners.
2. Boat trip along the Long Bay (duration 4-5 hours). Preliminary cost: adult – 3500 RUB/person, child from 3 to 10 years – 2200 RUB/person.
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.
The price of the tour includes a bus transfer to Long Bay and back, as well as a 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.
3. Boat trip "Cape Beluzhy" (duration 2 hours). Preliminary cost: adult – 3,500 rubles/person; child from 3 to 10 years – 2,200 rubles/person.
Often, for tourists who find themselves on Solovki, the most desirable thing is to see belugas – northern white whales.
The peaceful inhabitants of the Arctic Ocean come to the White Sea in the summer. They do not swim close, appear on the surface for a short time and then swim quite a long distance.
But there is a special place on Solovki – Cape Beluzhy – a sea trip here will be remembered by every minute.
The cape water area is one of the few places on the planet where you can observe whales in the wild.
From the beginning of June to the middle of August, during low tide at sea, mating games of whales, birth and upbringing of cubs take place here.
There is also a station of oceanographers who have the opportunity to observe these beautiful creatures every day.
Bring good weather and intention with you, don't make any noise, and you may be able to see a beluga literally at arm's length, feel the power and beauty of these amazing marine mammals.
Please note! Water excursions are conducted in favorable weather conditions and in the absence of a storm warning.
