OUR MURMANSK TOURS

Reindeer and the coast by day, the hunt for the green sky after dark — take one tour, or ask us to combine them.

Murmansk in a few hours with a local guide: Alyosha watching over the bay, the nuclear icebreaker Lenin at her museum pier, and the port that never freezes. The route fits the time you have.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
The questions everyone asks first
If yours is not here, ask in the form below.
FIRST VISIT
Which tour suits a first visit?
Take the city tour if you have a few hours. Choose the three-day package if you want the Northern Lights, Teriberka and the Sami village in one programme.
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Can you guarantee the Aurora?
No. We check the season and the forecast before we go, but the sky has the final say.
COMBINATIONS
Can I combine several tours?
Yes. The city tour takes a few hours and combines easily with an evening hunt; tell us what you have in mind and we will fit the pieces together.
STARTING POINT
Where do the tours begin?
In Murmansk. We confirm the exact meeting point with you before the tour.
SEASON
When is the northern lights season?
From late August to early April, when the nights are dark enough. Mid-winter is the darkest but has the harshest weather; September is gentler — dark enough for the lights, mild enough to stand and watch them.
