Three Days in the North:
the highlights of the winter Arctic
"Three Days in the North" is a ready-made winter itinerary for a first visit to the Russian Arctic. It combines three different sides of the region: the luminous night sky, the Barents Sea coast and the history of the world's largest city north of the Arctic Circle.
Day 1 — a Northern Lights hunt. We monitor cloud cover and aurora activity, choose the best available route, collect you from your hotel and take professional photographs of the experience.
Day 2 — a full day in Teriberka. Winter tundra, the ship graveyard, the Barents Sea coast, the "Dragon Eggs" beach and Batareysky waterfall. Access to individual locations depends on weather and road conditions.
Day 3 — a Murmansk city tour. Five Corners Square, Arctic memorials, the nuclear-powered icebreaker Lenin and panoramic viewpoints over the Kola Bay.
A certified local guide accompanies every excursion. We travel in small groups in comfortable vehicles.

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)))
