The excursion

This tour will begin with a trembling sense of wonder as you stand beneath the stars, watching the sky erupt in dancing emerald flashes of the Northern Lights, which you will capture under the guidance of a professional hunter. You will feel the salty wind of freedom while standing on the shore of the Arctic Ocean in the legendary Teriberka. Your heart will race from the dizzying heights and panoramas of Khibiny, where the roar of the waterfall and the steam from mini-geysers will make you forget the hustle and bustle of the world. You will experience a primal connection with nature standing on the edge of the Raslaak cirques in Lovozero Tundras, where it feels as if the Earth itself is breathing beneath your feet. On the final day, you will be enveloped by a soothing melancholy near the roaring waterfalls and a stern pride for the history preserved in these stones. And in the evenings, warmed by hot tea, you will be filled with gratitude for becoming part of this wild and incredibly beautiful tale of the Far North.

AURORA, WHALES, OCEAN, MOUNTAINS, WATERFALLS

Itinerary

Day 1. Chasing the Northern Lights
You must arrive before 18:00 on this day.
21:30 (approximate time) We will head out to chase the Northern Lights. We will pick you up from your accommodation.
At the beginning of the tour, we conduct an introductory briefing: explaining the nature of the aurora borealis so that each guest feels like an involved participant rather than a passive observer.
As in any hunt, a combination of factors is crucial here: location choice (distance from city lights), current weather conditions, cloud maps, and predicted solar activity charts for the specific night. This phenomenon can be forecasted - it is calculated and tracked with high precision. We do not rely on luck.
Years of practical experience show that the only correct strategy is to go out with a professional who handles all stages of searching for and tracking the aurora, providing participants with the main result: high-quality photo and video materials against the backdrop of this natural phenomenon.
Your guide will be a professional Aurora Hunter, equipped with specialized hardware and software complexes for monitoring sky activity. This allows us to accurately determine which night of your stay is worth planning a trip into the forest, and which night to postpone the hunt.
Departure conditions:
1. Transfer is carried out in a comfortable minibus, picking you up from a convenient address and returning you afterwards.
2. The duration of the hunt is from 3 to 6 hours. The length depends on celestial conditions: in cloudy weather, we move in search of clear skies, and the route may reach 150 km from Murmansk; in clear skies, trips are limited to 40 km from the city.
3. Hot drinks and light snacks are provided for guests throughout the entire trip.
4. Filming is done using professional photo and video equipment, guaranteeing clear shots in dark night conditions.
5. Finished materials are provided to participants no later than the day after the departure.
Recommendation: choose clothing in bright, saturated shades - the night photoshoot looks most striking with a contrasting color palette.
Day 2. Journey to Teriberka to meet the whales
08:00 (approximate time) we will head to the legendary Teriberka. Along the way, we will make a couple of photo stops in the vast Tundra and at the Stone Garden.
The main locations of this day are the famous "Dragon Eggs" beach, Dragon's Lair, Battery Lake, and Teriberka Waterfall.
In summer, whales in Teriberka are the most anticipated sight. To see the whales, we will go on a sea cruise, view the cliffs of Teriberka from the sea side, as well as bird colonies and other marine life.
Also:
Visit the ancient ship graveyard;
Have lunch at a restaurant on the bay coast (for an extra fee);
Visit the sandy beach Barents Sea with giant swings, a ship washed ashore by a storm, and a traveler's bench
The tour lasts approximately 11 hours. We will return to the hotel Murmansk around 19:00.
Attention! Important information for travelers
During the visit to Teriberka, a walk of approximately 4 kilometers is included. The terrain here is predominantly flat, with slight elevation changes. Please take this into account when planning your trip.
We recommend preparing comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing in advance.

Amazing northern nature seen from a bird's-eye view, Russia's oldest mountains - Khibiny (we will see them if the weather is clear)

The tour lasts approximately 8 hours. We will return to the hotel Murmansk around 17:00.
Important information about the ascent (please consider before booking the tour):
First of all, Lovozero Tundras are mountains, not plains, as many people imagine.
The route includes a climb up Mount Alluaiv. To avoid a long hike uphill, we transfer from the bus (vehicles with more than 4 seats) to UAZ vehicles — reliable off-road cars. It is impossible to drive through the tundra and mountain slopes with standard transport. A small section of the road may be bumpy - this is a feature of the mountain road.
But ahead of you lie the tundra, mountains and beautiful views!
