The Teriberka Expedition Itinerary:
Chasing Whales at the Edge of the World
This journey is made for those who want to feel the spirit of the real Arctic and see wild nature unadorned.
The heart of our programme is a trip out into the Barents Sea. We will set off by boat along the sheer cliffs to catch the sea giants in their natural habitat. At different times of year, bowhead whales, fin whales, orcas and even humpback whales appear in the waters of the Barents Sea — an encounter you will remember for a lifetime. Fresh wind, salty spray and thrilling anticipation — this is the true spirit of a northern expedition.
Before or after the sea trip, you will walk across the tundra and see the stone beach «Dragon Eggs», the ship graveyard, a waterfall plunging straight into the ocean, and sandy shores where nature speaks its own ancient language.
This is more than just a tour — it is a chance to witness the life of the Arctic. Join us — the North is calling, and the whales are already near.

The sea trip runs on well-equipped boats with experienced captains who know the migration and feeding grounds of marine mammals. The chances of meeting whales, dolphins or seals in the Barents Sea during the season are very high, but nature is unpredictable and a 100% guarantee is impossible. We do everything we can to make the search a success!
The tour has an easy/medium difficulty level and is suitable for people of any basic fitness, including children from age 6 and older travellers. No long treks over rough terrain are planned, but the programme includes walks across the tundra and the rocky coast, as well as a two-hour boat trip into the open sea.
To book, simply submit a request through the form on the website, message us on Telegram, or give us a call. We will get in touch, help you choose dates, discuss the details and reserve your spots in the group after a small deposit.
Reviews of this adventure:
The trip was amazing! We went with Misha, and everything was cosy and full of interesting facts. Lovely company and an equally lovely tour. None of the usual "look left, look right". A wonderful 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 a lot of new things. And of course the mountains! They are magnificent! The weather was great. It was surprising to catch 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 with the guys to hunt for the northern lights last year, and I loved the friendly atmosphere of the trip — as if a group of friends had gathered for a photo hunt. Alexandra shared all sorts of interesting scientific facts and legends, we talked 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 was glowing) The guys also knew which spots have less cloud cover, 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 my girlfriends last year. Only now have I got around to writing a review. I want to express my huge gratitude 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 northern lights. Our guide was Yan. We caught a wonderful aurora and a special thank you for the photos)))
