Tourists reviews of vacations in Murmansk region

We took a tour to the Kola Peninsula and spent a long time choosing a tour operator — eventually finding Big Country almost by accident. The program was great, and we booked the tour with accommodations included. Everything was very convenient; the transportation was included, the food was great and everything matched the program perfectly! We are completely satisfied with the trip 🙂 The guides also delivered on the itinerary 100%. In the future, we'll definitely book more tours across this vast country with this provider. Highly recommended!

I was on this tour from 07/19/24 to 07/21/24, and it surpassed all my expectations. The landscape was incredibly varied: from temperate forests to northern woods, boreal forests, and open tundra. The beauty of this place is breathtaking and awe-inspiring. The tundra, so complex and mysterious, defies capture in any photograph—it truly has to be experienced firsthand :) I was captivated by the raw, majestic power of the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean. The water is freezing, crystal clear, and a stunning sea-green 😊. The vast, gentle hills and rocky landscapes sometimes make you feel like you’re on another planet. And the smells! :) The tundra and ocean carry scents as vibrant as the colors around them—it’s unforgettable :) The polar day was something I’d never seen before :) The sun doesn’t set at all, which feels so unusual but amazing :) And of course, the animals and sea life! :) Meeting whales and watching them in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure :) The soft noses and kind, gentle eyes of the reindeer will stay with me forever. I also have to mention the local cuisine, especially the fish. Normally, I’m not a big fan, but this trip made me rethink that entirely :) If you want to immerse yourself in another world and experience something truly unique, you absolutely need to visit the north.

An unforgettable tour!🔥 My dream of seeing whales finally came true! It was incredible 💫 Besides the whales, I got to see seals, visit a traditional village with reindeer, and even feed deer, yaks, and donkeys. The goats really made my day—they’ll give you a ‘paw’ for a carrot! 😂

It was an amazing trip! In just four days, we experienced so many emotions—it felt like we’d been traveling for a month! The tour itself was packed, with early starts each day leading to new adventures, new locations, and even new climate zones! We did a lot of hiking, went boating, spotted whales and foxes, and enjoyed seafood and venison! Every evening, we came back exhausted but happy! I really appreciated how well-organized the tour was—the schedule was intense, but there was still enough time for everything!
