New Year on the Kola with the Northern Lights and whales

After breakfast, we will go to the mountains and see the famous Snow Village, which has been built by ice sculptors from ice and snow for 16 years, and then we will ride snowmobiles (if desired, for an additional fee, you can choose a route according to length and complexity). 

We offer a spectacular snowmobile route through the northern part of Khibiny with a visit to the rescue base. It passes through the Kukisvum valley, and in the northern part of Khibiny the route line will make a ring along the picturesque valley of the Kuniyok River. 

At the farthest point of the route, groups visit the rescue base, where in a cozy gazebo by the fireplace you can taste venison shulum and herbal tea.

After relaxing and exploring the surroundings (you can visit the observation deck, which overlooks the entire valley), you will return to the snowmobile base.

In the evening, in the mountains, in clear weather, you can observe the northern lights. If you don't want to go snowmobiling, you can go skiing on the ski slope.

Return to the hotel at about 18:30-19:00, relax in the spa area if desired, and then you will have a festive dinner and a New Year's program at the Ded Borey restaurant (for an additional fee).

A wonderful New Year's Eve is waiting for us today!

Today is a wonderful first day of the new year!

After a late breakfast and lunch (for those who even wake up early on January 1, there will be an opportunity to go to the deserted ski slopes), we will move to the shores of the Barents Sea in Teriberka.

Upon arrival, we will have dinner at the restaurant (for an additional fee), where the cuisine will change from meat dishes to seafood and fish (all this is mined here, off the coast of Teriberka). 

We will live in a hotel on the very seashore in the old part of the village and after dinner we will walk along the sandy beach, swing on a huge swing, look at the skeleton of a whale that starred in the movie "Leviathan" and at a ship washed ashore.

Teriberka is a small village by the sea. People have been living in this place since the 17th century — traditionally local people were engaged in fishing. 

By the end of the 60s, the decline of the village gradually began. But Teriberka became widely known after the movie "Leviathan". 

It is thanks to the film, the fashion for the Arctic and the fact that Teriberka is the only place on the shores of the Barents Sea that can be reached by an ordinary car, tourists are now arriving here.

In the morning we go on a 3-hour boat trip along the Barents Sea (extra charge).

Humpback whales often enter the coastal waters in winter, so if you're lucky, you can see not only the Northern Lights, but also these fascinating sea giants! 

Today we will feel the full power of the Arctic Ocean.

We will be on the edge of the cliff, where only the North Pole is further away. Being in these places, you realize that a person is only a guest in the polar latitudes — they are so harsh and wild.

After the boat trip, we will have lunch, walk around the village — we will look at the farm to feed the reindeer, see the ship cemetery, an abandoned school and swing on a swing by the sea. Then we will go to the sauna (for an additional fee).

We will spend the evening in a friendly circle playing board games (and waiting for the northern lights, of course).

Let's get to know the harsh tundra better — in the morning we'll take a snowmobile sled ride along the tundra and the coast of the Barents Sea — we'll see the famous Dragon Beach and the frozen waterfall falling into the sea.

We'll have lunch and go to Murmansk — we'll go home filled with emotions, rested and full of the desire to discover new horizons.

We will be in the city approximately at 18:00, but we recommend purchasing tickets with the possibility of changing the departure date — in winter snow drifts occur on the road from Teriberka, in this case the Ministry of Emergency Situations closes the road until it is cleared.
