Private tour (AUR001) Russia Northern Lights Chase Murmansk 4 days 3 nights

Meet at the airport and head into the city. Tour Murmansk - the world's largest city located inside the Arctic Circle. Admire the grandeur of Alyosha - a massive monument dedicated to the defenders of the Soviet Arctic during World War II, carrying profound historical meaning alongside 2 distinct Russian Orthodox churches. Visit the "Lenin" nuclear icebreaker era - considered a marvel of Soviet engineering. Then comes the most exciting and wonderful part of our journey: Northern Lights Hunting! :-) Overnight in Murmansk (hotel standard up to 5,000 THB per night / double room; any excess to be paid directly based on actual cost).

Meet at the hotel and travel through the tundra to Teriberka, a charming village situated on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Here, you can see historic shipwreck skeletons resting along the shore. If the weather is good, we will visit the scenic cliffs, waterfalls, and breathtaking coastal landscapes. In autumn, this trip can be made by car, but during the winter, access is only possible by snowmobile. You will get to enjoy an exhilarating snowmobile ride gliding along while taking in the magnificent scenery :-) Drive back from Teriberka to the tundra for Northern Lights Hunting, then return to Murmansk. Note: In case the road to Teriberka is closed due to heavy snowfall, we will arrange alternative activities for you instead, such as horseback riding, visiting an aquarium, skiing, snowboarding, or snowmobiling, which may incur additional expenses. Overnight in Murmansk (hotel standard up to 5,000 THB per night / double room; any excess to be paid directly based on actual cost).

Visit the Husky Farm—this will be one of the happiest highlights of your trip, as you get to meet some of the friendliest and most adorable dogs in the world! You can play with these lovely pups, learn about their breed, and enjoy tea served with pastries. Of course, you will also experience a husky-drawn cart ride! Unlike other places that offer just a brief 400-meter taster ride, we provide an expansive 5 km husky-drawn cart ride so you can fully immerse yourself in this incredible adventure—and you might even get the chance to drive the cart yourself! :-) Next, visit the Saami Village, home to the indigenous people of the Kola Peninsula. Learn about their culture, traditions, and way of life, enjoy playful moments with the reindeer, and savor traditional Saami herbal tea with authentic tundra berry pies. Followed by Northern Lights Hunting (*if you did not catch the aurora during the first two nights, or if the display was very faint). Overnight in Murmansk (hotel standard up to 5,000 THB per night / double room; any excess to be paid based on actual cost).
