Season's flagship

Chasing the Northern
Lights

The North's greatest wonder — and the reason people come to the Kola Peninsula. We drive you out of the city to hunt the aurora, chase clear skies and photograph you on a professional camera. And if the lights don't show, your second hunt costs less.

🗓 Season: late Aug — April 🌙 Night hunt 📸 Professional photos 🚙 Hotel pickup
Join the hunt 4 000 ₽ second hunt — 3 000 ₽

🐳 Teriberka Whale Watching
★★★★★

The tour was absolutely amazing. Definitely book it if you want to feel this landscape for real. Our guide led us over the hills and showed us the most unusual spots — a few even felt a little eerie, in the best way. A whale's fin surfaced from the sea and a seal dived under — unexpected and so cool. The fresh seafood is a story of its own.

🐳 Teriberka Whale Watching
★★★★★

I came purely for the whales — but ended up falling for the whole landscape. The Arctic Ocean is alive and powerful; you have to see it. Our guide took us to the most beautiful places and talked about Murmansk and Teriberka so well we couldn't get enough. Fun, fascinating and truly unforgettable.

🏙️ Murmansk City Tour
★★★★★

I saw the city from both shores of the bay — the beauty is simply stunning. I got to know all the main landmarks. Our guide is passionate about the region's history and tells it in a genuinely captivating way — not a dull moment. The city tour left me with only the warmest memories; I highly recommend it.

💧 Waterfalls of the Kola
★★★★★

Three waterfalls in a day — and each one completely different. Forest-tundra, then open tundra, then cliffs. Our guide shared so much about the nature and history of the Kola that the time flew by. They served us tea right out in the field — a small thing, but so memorable. An incredible tour I'd love to do again.

🦌 Meet the Reindeer & Huskies
★★★★★

The reindeer are something special — you fall for them at first sight. A flood of good emotions and enough energy to last the whole year. Our guide told us about Sami traditions and life so vividly — not like a tour guide, but like a true host welcoming her guests. I want to come back and stay a whole day, not just a couple of hours.

🌌 Chasing the Northern Lights
★★★★★

I was worried the aurora wouldn't show — the first night the sky was overcast. But on the second, our guide said “we're going” with total confidence and found a great spot far from the city lights. What opened up overhead was beyond anything I expected: green ribbons sweeping across half the sky, right above us. I stood in the freezing cold and didn't feel it at all.

When to Go: a Seasonal Calendar

The Kola Peninsula is wonderful year-round, but every wonder has its season. See what you can catch and when, and pick the perfect time to visit.

Best time Good chance Possible Off-season
Winter
November — March
  • 🌌 Peak northern lights and the magic of the polar night
  • Downhill skiing in the Khibiny, ice rinks and snow-covered tundra
  • 🐕 Husky and reindeer sledding, snowmobile safaris
  • ❄️ Icy Teriberka and frozen waterfalls
Tip: plan for 4–5 days — the aurora depends on the weather. Dress very warmly: it can drop to −10…−25 °C.
Spring
April — May
  • 🌌 You can still catch the aurora in April: dark skies, but milder weather
  • The best ski season: the sun is back and the snow lasts into May
  • 🐋 Whale season kicks off in May and the rivers run full
  • ☀️ The polar day begins on 22 May — and the aurora disappears
Tip: April is the sweet spot — aurora and skiing without the deep freeze.
Summer
June — August
  • 🐋 Peak whale-watching in the Barents Sea
  • ☀️ The polar day — daylight around the clock
  • 💧 The Ura and Titovka waterfalls, hiking and wild salmon
  • 🫐 In August — berries and mushrooms in the northern forest
Note: there's no aurora in summer — the white nights keep the sky bright. But the weather is milder (+10…+20 °C).
Autumn
September — October
  • 🌌 The aurora returns — golden autumn and the northern lights together
  • 🐋 Whales can still be spotted (September — October)
  • 🍂 Colourful tundra, mushrooms and berries
  • 📸 Soft light and few tourists — a photographer's paradise
Pro tip: September is a rare chance to catch both whales and the aurora on one trip.
