Four days in the North:
Murmansk, Teriberka, waterfalls and the Khibiny
"The Grand Kola Journey" is a ready-made 4-day itinerary that brings together our most popular excursions in one action-packed trip. It's the perfect choice for anyone who wants to get to know the Arctic and see its main sights in a short space of time.
Day one — a sightseeing tour of Murmansk. Five Corners Square, the "Alyosha" monument (closed for renovation until 2028), the nuclear-powered icebreaker "Lenin", the "Waiting Woman" monument and panoramic views over the Kola Bay.
Day two — a trip to Teriberka. A voyage into the Barents Sea in search of whales, the sandy beach, the swing, the throne, the ship graveyard, the "Dragon's Eggs" and the Batareysky waterfall.
Day three — the scenic waterfalls of the Western Murman coast on the road to Norway. Sites of military glory from the Great Patriotic War and the stern beauty of northern nature.
Day four — the Khibiny and Kirovsk. A cable-car ride up Mount Aikuaivenchorr and a panorama of the whole massif, the wild mountain lake Maly Vudyavr, the Stone Museum with hundreds of minerals and the enchanting "Mysterious Forest" art park.
A certified local guide accompanies you throughout the whole route. All transfers are provided in comfortable crossovers and minivans.

Good to know
The 28 000 ₽ price includes transfers for all four days, a local guide throughout, the whale-watching sea trip on day two, the cable car and the Stone Museum in the Khibiny, passes to the Teriberka nature park and every location on the programme. Air and rail tickets to Murmansk, hotel accommodation, lunches and personal expenses are paid separately.
Accommodation is not included in the tour price, but we will gladly help you choose and book a hotel in a convenient part of Murmansk to suit your budget — just tell us what you have in mind.
Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Sochi, Kaliningrad, Arkhangelsk, Kazan, Cherepovets and Minsk (Belarus).
On day two we head out into the Barents Sea on a well-equipped boat with an experienced captain who knows the migration routes of marine mammals. The chances of meeting whales, dolphins or seals in season are very high, but nature is unpredictable and a 100% guarantee is impossible. Even without a whale sighting, the stunning views of Teriberka await you.
Yes, the programme is flexible. The standard order is a Murmansk city tour, Teriberka with whales and waterfalls — but we can rearrange the days to fit your arrival dates and the weather. If you wish, one of the excursions can be swapped for another of our programmes (for example, "Visiting the Reindeer and Huskies").
Send a request through the form on the site, message us on Telegram or give us a call. We will get in touch, help you choose dates and a hotel, discuss the details and secure your places after a small deposit.
Reviews of this adventure:
Amazing trip! We went with Misha, and it was all cosy and informative. Really lovely company and just as lovely a tour. None of the usual "look left, look right". A great, friendly atmosphere — I recommend it to everyone, photo attached)
We went to Kirovsk with the Aurora Trip team in September. We loved everything. Fascinating stories. We learned so much. And of course the mountains! They are magnificent! The weather was superb. Amazing that we got such good weather in September — I thought it would be snowy. Next time we will go to Teriberka with the same team. But that will be in winter!
We went out with the guys to look for the northern lights last year, and I loved the friendly atmosphere of the trip — it felt like we had gathered as friends for a photo hunt. Alexandra shared all sorts of interesting scientific facts and legends, we chatted a lot, laughed and had a great time, and on top of it all we managed to catch the long-awaited aurora! The whole sky glowed) The guys also knew which spots are least likely to be cloudy, so our chances were high! I am attaching a photo, but in person it is far more captivating, because the whole glow shimmers in a bright dance — thank you, I definitely recommend it.
I went with friends last year. I have only just got around to writing a review. My huge thanks to the whole team of guides. It was wonderful! We visited Teriberka and it was the most memorable trip of my life! We also went to catch the lights. Our guide was Yan. We caught a wonderful aurora and a special thank-you for the photos)))
