The excursion

These three days will completely change your perception of the beauty of nature. You will see how the mighty Barents Sea crashes against red cliffs, walk along a beach with giant stone spheres known as "Dragon Eggs," and stand at the very edge of the earth, gazing into the boundless ocean. You will visit a cemetery of abandoned ships – a place steeped in history and northern melancholy – and then climb onto giant swings to feel the wind of freedom all over your body. In the ethnic park, you will encounter another reality – the ancient culture of the Sami people, who have lived here for almost 3000 years. You will feed reindeer by hand, try on traditional costumes, ride a husky sled (for an extra fee), and climb Lisyaya Mountain to view the tundra from a bird's-eye perspective. And after a hearty lunch featuring local cuisine in a wooden house, you will simply stroll through the park, breathing in the frosty air and enjoying the silence. The main thing you will take away is the feeling that you have truly touched the elements. The harsh ocean, endless expanses, the warmth of reindeer eyes, and a sincere smile with every new discovery. This is not just a tour – it is a story you will be telling for a long time. Important information: - Children up to 11 years old (inclusive) receive a 15% discount when traveling with 2 adults; - We will advise you on where best to book accommodation in Murmansk; - Individual departures are possible on any dates; - For groups of 7 or more people, the departure date can be any day; - Dates for individual departures must be booked upon request. OPTIONAL - Dog sledding in a cart - 5000 rubles - Sightseeing tour – 4000 rubles - Sea cruise for whale watching (2 hours) - 6000 rubles

Эти три дня перевернут ваше представление о красоте природы. Вы увидите, как могучий Баренцев море бьётся о красные скалы, пройдёте по пляжу с гигантскими каменными шарами, которые называют «Яйцами дракона», и постоите на самом краю земли, глядя в бескрайний океан. Вы побываете на кладбище заброшенных кораблей - месте, пропитанном историей и северной меланхолией, а затем подниметесь на гигантские качели, чтобы почувствовать ветер свободы всем телом. В этническом парке вас встретит другая реальность - древняя культура саамов, которые живут здесь почти 3000 лет. Вы покормите с рук северных оленей, примерите традиционные костюмы, прокатитесь на упряжке с хаски (за доп плату), и подниметесь на Лисью гору, чтобы увидеть тундру с высоты птичьего полёта. А после сытного обеда с блюдами местной кухни в деревянном доме вы просто побродите по парку, вдыхая морозный воздух и наслаждаясь тишиной. Главное, что вы увезёте с собой, - это ощущение, что вы действительно прикоснулись к стихии. Суровый океан, бескрайние просторы, тепло оленьих глаз и искренняя улыбка от каждого нового открытия. Это не просто тур - это история, которую вы будете рассказывать ещё долго. Важная информация: - Детям до 11 лет (включительно) скидка 15% при условии путешествия с 2-мя взрослыми; - Подскажем, где лучше забронировать жилье в Мурманске; - Индивидуальные заезды возможны в любые даты; - Для групп от 7 человек дата заезда может быть в любой день; - Бронировать даты индивидуальных заездов нужно по запросу. ОПЦИОНАЛЬНО - Катание на собаках в карте - 5000 рублей - Обзорная экскурсия – 4000 рублей - Морская прогулка в поиске китов (2 часа) - 6000 рублей
