You'll experience the breathtaking landscapes of the Russian Arctic, hikes through the tundra, and rides in specially prepared, powerful SUVs, beaches on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, a ghost village, seafood delicacies, a whale-watching cruise, and the legendary Teriberka. The best summer tour of the Kola Peninsula!
The Kola Peninsula and its surroundings are a truly special place. Wildlife, waterfalls and tundra, rugged cliffs and endless ocean expanses, remnants of war and tales of heroism, picturesque capes, and, of course, amazing wildlife. A short, four-day summer trip through the Kola Peninsula will offer you incredibly vivid experiences.
You'll explore the Sredny Peninsula and the Rybachy Peninsula, ranked among the most beautiful places in our country. Traveling in comfortable, off-road-ready vehicles, we'll make stops at the most beautiful locations: for example, the secluded Titovsky Waterfalls, the Musta-Tunturi Pass, Capes Nemetsky and Kekursky, the "Two Brothers" rocks, and the Red Rocks Coast. We'll hike, visit the most beautiful beaches by the Arctic Ocean, and a ghost town lost in the heart of the tundra. And, of course, we'll dedicate an entire day to Teriberka. This village at the edge of the world is home to a surprising number of attractions, from the Dragon's Eggs beach to the famous giant swing. But our main destination here is a boat trip, during which you'll see whales, killer whales, seals, and bustling bird colonies. The journey also offers culinary discoveries: you can order a dinner of the freshest seafood at the resort. Where better than on the very edge of the Barents Sea to sample these seafood delicacies?
A welcoming tourist base at the edge of the world—on the shores of Motovsky Bay (Barents Sea). Here, you'll experience a true connection with nature, surrounded by the incredible northern expanses as far as the eye can see! Guests are offered accommodation in simple yet comfortable cottages, accommodating 2 to 5 people. Toilets and showers are located in a separate building on the property. The chef prepares homemade dishes, including local seafood. For complete relaxation, head to the steam bath in the evening.
This hotel from the renowned chain is centrally located, offering stunning panoramic views of the city and the Kola Bay. Azimut Murmansk is housed in a renovated historic building and boasts a unique charm. Rooms are decorated in a modern, minimalist style and are fully equipped. There are two restaurants serving signature cuisine, a café, and a cozy lobby bar. Guests can also enjoy a gym with a sauna.
We'll meet in Murmansk and set off on an adventure! Near the village of Titovka, we'll visit the Titovskie Waterfalls—low but picturesque cascades surrounded by magical nature, where you'll truly feel the harmony and serene tranquility of these places. Our next destination is the Sredny Peninsula, where you'll learn about the history of the defense of the Russian North during WWII and visit the Regional Defense Museum. To better understand the events of those years, we'll climb the Musta-Tunturi Pass, where the front line once ran. You'll have time to fully appreciate the Sredny Peninsula's scenery, as our entire journey along its eastern coast takes you through beautiful locations. Then we'll move on to the Rybachy Peninsula, where we'll check into a recreation center on the shore of the bay. We'll have seafood for dinner—please order these in advance from the chef.
Today we'll explore the Rybachy Peninsula, ranked among the top 15 most beautiful places in our country according to Google Maps. And there are truly many locations here that will take your heart by storm! You'll visit Cape Nemetsky, the northernmost point of European Russia, where you'll see an ancient lighthouse and a unique 16th-century well. From Cape Kekursky, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Arctic Ocean: incredible expanses, power, and grandeur. We'll then visit Skorbeevskaya Bay and take a walk along the beach, as well as visit the mysterious ghost village of Skorbeevskiy in the heart of the tundra. In the evening, we'll return to the base camp for a delicious dinner, share our impressions of this incredible day, and enjoy a sauna (optional).
We'll say goodbye to the base and head to the peninsula's western coast, continuing to explore the harsh and poetic northern nature. Here you'll see the "Two Brothers" outlier rocks, considered sacred by local indigenous peoples, and stroll along the Red Rock Coast with its surreal landscapes, bizarre shapes, and hues. From here, you can also spot marine life: whales, killer whales, and seals. We can't guarantee a sighting, but we're really hoping for luck! We'll also visit another location reminiscent of the region's heroic past—a coastal artillery battery with underground chambers. We'll arrive in Murmansk in the evening.
On the final day of the tour, you'll take an excursion to Teriberka, arguably the most famous village in the Murmansk region. Along the way, your guide will tell you about its history, and we'll make several stops at the most beautiful spots along the route for a short stroll and some stunning photos. Upon arrival in Teriberka, we'll immediately set out to sea—we'll search for majestic whales, pass bustling bird colonies and seal rookeries, admire the famous "Dragon's Eggs" rock beach from the water, see the foaming Batareisky Waterfall from the best angle, and see the Teriberka Lighthouse. Those who wish can also enjoy a short fishing trip from the boat. Returning to dry land, we'll enjoy a delicious lunch and continue exploring Teriberka on a walking tour. You'll see all its main attractions, including the whale skeleton itself, and be sure to swing on the enormous swing "at the end of the world." In the evening, we'll return to Murmansk. Until next time!
