It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

Rains in May are a frequent occurrence. If you're unlucky with the weather, it could be sleet. Therefore, an umbrella is useful in Murmansk, and a raincoat is useful when traveling. You can't do without an umbrella either on the coast of the Barents Sea or somewhere in Kirovsk. It's always windy in the Murmansk region, and it literally tears him out of his hands.

Since it is better not to count on southern warmth in Murmansk either for the May holidays or at the end of the month, it is better to take more warm clothes.

The main thing you need to have is a waterproof hooded jacket and rubber boots. Without the latter, you can't get to, for example, the Battery Waterfall in Teriberka (it depends on the weather, of course, take more warm clothes, a scarf, mittens, a hat, you'd rather leave them in transport in good weather than freeze in strong winds).

That's the most important thing to pay attention to.:

  • You will need a good windproof hooded jacket and ideally a waterproof one.
  • If you do not have a waterproof jacket, be sure to take a raincoat, as the umbrella will not withstand the north wind and will take up your time and hands.
  • A scarf and a hat will never be superfluous, especially at sea! 
  • It is mandatory to have warm, preferably woolen, socks; gloves.
  • From the beginning of the May to June holidays, you will need waterproof shoes or take rubber boots, you will thank us when you walk to the Battery Waterfall in Teriberka.
  • Preferably: a complete set of thermal underwear (top and bottom) (the presence of this set will make the trip more comfortable and enjoyable).
  • Fleece jacket.
  • Take extra batteries for your camera, phone, or video camera, as they drain very quickly in the cold.
  • A personal first-aid kit with medicines for colds and fever, headache, stomach, as well as individual medicines if you take something regularly.

The weather is unpredictable in summer. It can be fresh or very hot on the contrary. Be sure to check the weather forecast before traveling, but remember – the weather is unpredictable in the north, and you can expect both sunshine and snowstorms during the day.
