Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Murmansk — Ura-guba — Nasha Bay

    Day 1 — start of the trip — we leave the city of Murmansk.

    09:00 The participants need to arrive at the base (Kola) to leave unnecessary things, pack their belongings and try on a dry suit, sneakers, etc.

    Then, at about 10:30, the transfer starts from the base to the starting point of the route in the village of Ura-Guba.

    Arriving at the starting point of the route, we collect things, instruct, adjust equipment, have lunch, and go out on the water.

    Ura-Guba is very picturesque, and immediately after the start we will pass by the shores rich in history. At the same time, the bay is also very lively — there are a large number of small civilian tourist and fishing boats adjacent to the base of the Northern Fleet.

    We will leave Pakhta Bay and pass by the islands of Medvezhy and Zeleny, and go to Nasha Bay.

    On this day we will walk 15 km.
