What awaits us?
The Far North
The Far North in summer is love at first sight. Wherever you look, there are flowers. Berries right under your feet, ready to be picked and eaten, and an endless soft carpet of moss. It's not as cold here in the summer as it is in the winter. Sometimes it's hot, reaching up to +30°C around the clock. Yes, there's the polar day, and simply no nights.
And all of this is just a two-hour flight from Moscow. We're heading to Teriberka – a settlement on the outskirts of the Russian North, which made it into the top 20 best travel destinations according to National Geographic.

Whale watching
Off the coast of Teriberka, there's a good chance of spotting whales, dolphins, and seals. We'll spend two days at sea and try to find humpback whales and beluga whales.
Safe freediving in Arctic Ocean
Teriberka is a great place for your first ocean dive. In the summer, the water temperature reaches up to +13°C, and with 7 or 9 millimeter wetsuits, you can comfortably stay in the ocean and protect yourself from hypothermia.
Trekking through the summer tundra
The tundra in summer isn't something harsh and lifeless; it's a place so beautiful that your heart will stay here forever. The purest lakes, majestic cliffs, and waterfalls along the shores of the Barents Sea.
Seafood and Fishing
The Northern seas are rich in life. Scallop, sea urchin, Kamchatka crab, and fresh fish – all of these you can not only see underwater but also taste.
The Midnight Sun and Unreal Sunsets
During the midnight sun, there's no clear boundary between sunset and sunrise – the sun barely touches the horizon before rising again. This process doesn't take mere minutes like it does in the south; it stretches over long hours. Add to this the sea, cliffs, and clouds on the horizon – nowhere else are there sunsets like those in the far north!
ITINERARY
Day 2 / Expedition to the Arctic Ocean in Search of Whales. Freediving. Fishing
Today, we'll spend the day at sea, journeying along the coast of the Kola Peninsula. We'll be keeping an eye out for whales, dolphins, and seals.
We'll be diving into the Arctic Ocean. The underwater world of the Barents Sea is rich, and the water is sufficiently clear. You can expect to see clusters of scallops, sea urchins, Kamchatka crabs, and if luck is on our side, perhaps even curious seals or whales underwater. Modern wetsuits and Team Trip guides will ensure this dive is comfortable and safe. You'll be able to spend 1.5 - 2 hours in the water without getting cold.
We'll also try our hand at fishing for cod and haddock. Fishing will be done using vertical jigs. If we come across a school of fish, it's possible to catch several dozen fish in half an hour, sometimes including trophy specimens.
IMPORTANT: Sea excursions will take place on ships or high-speed boats. The duration and activities at sea may be adjusted based on weather conditions (waves, wind), the presence of marine life in the area, and other factors beyond our control. In case of unfavorable weather conditions, we will offer you an alternative program.

Day 4 / Sea Expedition in Search of Whales. Transfer to Murmansk. Departure Home.
Another excursion into the ocean – we'll do what we didn't have time for during the first outing. We'll continue searching for whales and photographing the landscapes from the sea. Around lunchtime, we'll return to Teriberka and then head to Murmansk.
