Itinerary

Day 1 - Meeting in Murmansk. Transfer to the Sredny and Rybachy Peninsulas
Arrival in Murmansk.
You arrive in the hero city of Murmansk on your own, using air or rail transport.
We recommend that you arrive in advance, the day before the start of the tour or before 11:00 on the day of the start, so that you have enough time to get to the meeting place of the group.
Gathering a group.
Meeting place and time: 12:00 p.m., at 5/23 Vorovsky St., Five Corners Square, Meridian Hotel Lobby (the exact time will be announced by the guide the day before).
Check-in at the hypermarket. On our way to the peninsula, we will stop at a hypermarket, as there are no shops or pharmacies on the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas so that you can stock up on everything you need.
Transfer across the Kola Peninsula to the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas.
The journey through the Kola Peninsula will take you through the amazing expanses of northern nature.
We will make several stops to capture the beauty of the North in photographs. The guide will tell you fascinating facts from the history of this region.
The program of the route:
Memorial complex "Valley of Glory".
Waterfalls of the Titovka River.
A traditional stop at the "Drunken Stream" in front of the Musta-Tunturi pass.
Musta-Tunturi pass.
The name "Musta-Tunturi" translates from the Sami language as "black mountain", and the ridge, composed of dark rocks, stands at the foot of the Malaya Volokovaya Bay, separating the mainland and the peninsula.
After crossing the Musta-Tunturi pass, we will head to the Sredny Peninsula.
We will visit iconic places such as the Egg Height and Motovsky Bay. Then check-in, dinner and free time.
Day 2 - Rybachy Peninsula
Breakfast.
After gathering the group and boarding the car, we will go to the Rybachy Peninsula.
On the second day of our trip, we plan to explore the western part of the peninsula, visit the northernmost point of Russia, visit an ancient well and try to capture the marine life.
We will visit Cape Koroviy, the Kian Littoral and explore the Finnish pillboxes.
Cape German. On Cape German, which is the northernmost continental point of the European part of Russia and was called Cape Kegor in the old days, you can admire the extraordinarily beautiful columnar layered rocks of black color.
We will visit the Vaidagub Lighthouse, the northernmost active lighthouse in Russia, which shines with a green flashing light at a distance of up to 20 miles. There is a weather station next to the lighthouse.
A field lunch awaits us on the way.
Then we will head to Cape Kekursky, located in the northern part of the Rybachy Peninsula. This is one of the most beautiful and inaccessible places on the peninsula, separated from the German Cape by the Vajda Bay. This place is especially attractive for travelers on the Kola Peninsula.
At the end of the day, we will return to the campsite, where we will have dinner.

The organization of the tour was excellent. However, there was one downside: on the last day, the departure was scheduled for seven in the morning, and the group had to leave without breakfast. This isn’t our first trip, and in similar situations, we’ve usually been provided with packed meals. Unfortunately, this time that didn’t happen, and the hotel breakfast also starts at seven.

We really enjoyed it, and we were lucky with the weather too. Ruslan, who accompanied our group, was outstanding—truly top-notch! He made everything interesting, easygoing, and highly informative. Thank you, Ruslan, and thanks to the entire hosting team as well. Everything was fantastic!
