Teriberka. Whales in the Barents Sea

Air and railway tickets are not included in the price of the tour. You can purchase them yourself or contact us for help.

It is worth considering that we are going North, besides to the sea. The weather is very unpredictable. 

It is better to dress warmly and take off something from yourself than to freeze.

The temperature is +5...+10°C, but the wind, and sometimes rain (in November there may be snow) can lower the temperature "feels like", and you need to be prepared for negative temperatures (-5°C). 

Temperature:

• in May, October, November -5...+10°C;
• in June +5...+20°C;
• in July and August +5...+22°C;
• in September, 0...+15°C.

It is also necessary to take into account the weather conditions at sea, in case it is impossible to go to sea, the boat trip program can be postponed to the next day or canceled (with a refund of the cost of renting a ship).

We recommend that you take tickets to Murmansk upon arrival on the day of the start of the tour or the day before, then you will have the opportunity to see the city (we will tell you what is more interesting to visit). 

Meeting of the group in the center of Murmansk at 10:00, at the airport at 10:40-11:00

After booking, the organizer sends information with recommended flights. 

Please do not buy tickets until you receive this information.

The meeting and return time can be changed if the entire group has tickets with arrival at an earlier time and departure at a later time. 

If your flight is delayed by 1 hour or more, the group may not be able to wait for you — the program will begin to shorten. Therefore, in case of a long delay and late arrival for a group transfer, you may need an individual transfer to Teriberka, which is paid additionally (from 3,000 to 8000 rubles per person). 

Until mid-May and from mid-November, due to snowfall, there are road closures from Murmansk to Teriberka and back.

We recommend taking tickets for the return trip on these dates with the possibility of postponing departure! 

In case the group stays in Teriberka for an additional night due to the blocked road, an additional overnight stay at the hotel and meals are paid for independently. 

Important! Tickets to Murmansk and back can be purchased only by agreement with the tour organizer!

The trip is suitable for adults and children over 8 years old (accompanied by adult relatives, younger age is discussed individually). 

The upper age limit is discussed individually.

The tour includes accommodation at the 45 Berth hotel. 

There are 3 accommodation options: 

• comfortable cottages with a private bathroom and a balcony (area 28 sq. m., 1 2-double bed or 2 1-bedroom, additional place — sofa (can accommodate 1-2 people up to 170 cm tall), coffee machine with capsules, bathrobes and slippers, shower products, refrigerator, kettle, hair dryer);
• camping houses with their own bathroom (area of 12 sq. m., 2 1-double beds (can be moved, but without a connecting mattress), hair dryer, shower facilities);
• 2-3-4-bed rooms in the main building (bathroom on the floor — for 15 rooms, 9 toilets and 6 showers).

In any of the accommodation options, you can use the kitchen-dining room in the main building.

If you book more than a month before the start of the tour, then you can choose any other hotel in Teriberka for accommodation (in this case you will need to book yourself, and we will recalculate minus accommodation).

Breakfast is included in the price. 

You can have lunch and dinner (usually it turns out 2 lunches and 2 dinners) in one of the restaurants in Teriberka, but due to the busy restaurants on weekends and holidays, you must book in advance (we will provide information about all restaurants). 

You can also order complex meals through us at the Mole gastropub, which is located on the territory of the 45 Berth hotel complex. 

There will be a snack during the trip to the sea.

On tours from the 20th of August and in autumn, there is also a great chance to see not only whales, but also the northern lights — it is at this time that the season of high geomagnetic activity begins, which means there are good chances to see the aurora in clear weather. 

On tours from May to early August, you will not be able to see the aurora, since it is a polar day on the Kola Peninsula at this time (the sun does not set below the horizon, there is no darkness).

This is not often (2-3 times a year), but it happens for two reasons: a storm and military exercises. 

In 7 years of conducting tours, we have only been to military exercises 2 times when civilian vessels are prohibited from going to sea. 

Storms occur in autumn and spring, less often in summer. It is extremely rare that it storms for all 3 days, usually it turns out to shift the exit to a more or less calmed sea.

Insurance is not included in the price of the tour. If desired, you can apply for it on the website of a Large Country without commission directly from insurance companies.

The program is scheduled as standard for the period from the beginning of May to the end of November. Since the daylight is different in different months of the year, and the weather can make its own adjustments, the guide is guided by the actual circumstances and forms the timing of the program after the fact. Usually, all groups have time to see everything that is stated in the program, but at different times and in different sequences.
