Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Murmansk. City tour
Our tour will start in Murmansk. We recommend the flight SU-1319 for arrival in Murmansk at 11:50.
After our meeting at the airport, you will have a fascinating introduction to the history and sights of the hero city of Murmansk.
The tour will begin with a visit to the monument to the Defenders of the Soviet Arctic, known as the monument to Alyosha, as well as the memorial lighthouse and deckhouse of the Kursk submarine, where you can hear stories about the heroism and courage of the sailors of the Northern Fleet.
After an eventful tour, we will go to a restaurant with local cuisine for lunch (lunch is not included in the price).
Next, we will visit the Murmansk Museum of Local Lore, where guests of the city can get acquainted with collections that tell about the nature of the Murmansk region, the history of the region since ancient times, the economy and life of the Sami in the XVIII-XIX centuries. Or, if we have tickets, we can visit the nuclear icebreaker Lenin.
In the evening, we will check into the Cosmos Hotel and enjoy a delicious dinner (dinner is not included in the price).

Day 2 - Boat trip to search for whales. A walk through Teriberka
In the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we will go on an incredible adventure to the Barents Sea — to Teriberka! This famous fishing village is located on the shores of the Arctic Ocean and has become almost the only place for sea exits accessible by car.
Teriberka is located at the mouth of the river of the same name, surrounded by majestic hills. It impresses with abandoned wooden houses adjacent to modern art objects.
Along the way, we will enjoy the harsh but incredibly picturesque landscapes of the northern tundra — the journey will take about 2 hours.
Upon arrival, we will immediately go on a boat trip in search of whales, and the captain will familiarize us with the safety rules. This fascinating route lasts 3 hours.
After the sea, lunch awaits us in one of the cozy restaurants in Teriberka, where you can taste Northern cuisine (lunch is not included in the price).
After lunch, we will take a walk around Teriberka, see the Cemetery of ships that have literally grown into the shore, and also visit the Battery Waterfall and the amazing Dragon Eggs beach, where the stones are turned by the sea and have acquired a perfect round shape.
The guide will share facts from the history of Teriberka, tell you about its sights and how people appeared here on the shores of the North Sea and how Teriberka lives today.
At the end of an eventful day, we will stay in the cozy cabins of the Finval hotel complex, located on the shore of the Teribersk Bay. There is a restaurant with Arctic cuisine, a sauna with an open-air font and its own pier.

Day 3 - The second trip to the sea in search of whales. Ice-floating
After breakfast at the hotel, we will go to the pier, where our ship will be waiting. Back at sea for three hours, and we have a chance to see the mighty whales!
After the boat trip, we will have lunch in a cozy restaurant by the sea (lunch is not included in the price). This is a great opportunity to enjoy the local cuisine and take a couple of souvenir photos.
Next, we will go ice-floating — a unique sea swim in fun costumes! It's a safe and incredibly vivid experience — a combination of extreme, calm and the magic of white silence.
Ice-floating will allow you to relax and enjoy the moment, forgetting about everyday worries and fuss. It will help to connect with nature and get a boost of energy.
We will end our day in Teriberka with a walk along the picturesque sandy beach of the old part of the village. Amazing art objects are waiting for you here: the skeleton of a huge whale, an elegant wooden throne and a fishing ship washed up on the shore.
Don't miss the chance to capture unforgettable moments on a giant swing set against the backdrop of the endless Barents Sea!
Next, we will head back to Murmansk or take you to the airport.
It is recommended to take flight SU-1323 at 23:25.
