Immersion in local color: the touching monument "The Waiting Woman".
Travel by comfortable vehicle and accompanied by a guide who will reveal the secrets of the Arctic. From technological feats to human fates — a journey where each object becomes a page in the book about the North.

— The mysterious "Dragon Eggs" beach and the enigmatic Dragon's Lair;
— Battery Lake with its mirror-like surface;
— The impressive Teriberka Waterfall.
Special focus:
In summer, whales can be observed in these parts — one of the most breathtaking sights! To get closer to them, we will go on a sea cruise (lasting two hours).

We will stop at the ancient ship graveyard;
Have lunch at a restaurant on the bay coast (for an additional fee);
Visit the sandy beach of Barents Sea with giant swings, a ship washed ashore by storms, and the traveler's bench.

Important information about the ascent (please consider this before booking the tour):
First of all, Lovozero Tundras consists of mountains, not plains, as many people imagine.
The route includes an ascent of mountain Alluaiv. To avoid a long hike up, we transfer from the bus (vehicles with more than 4 seats) to UAZ vehicles — reliable off-road cars.
