On our spring break, we were with Yulia and Alexander on the "Zapolyarye" tour. We got a lot of impressions and emotions. We discovered the Arctic.
Yulia and Sasha did everything to enable us to get a lot of impressions, and our wishes and whims were fulfilled without a word. We were on our way to see the Polar Lights.
We've seen it more than once! Teriberka is really the end of the world, the coast of the Barents Sea, snowmobiles and snow, snow, snow! Murmansk turned out to be a completely different city than I imagined it would be.
A large and developed centre of the Arctic with monuments, an icebreaker, the Gulf Stream and many other interesting things. In Kirovsk, we went skiing in the Khibiny, visited a mysterious forest and a snow village. And the trip to see the huskies and reindeer was just stunning... And you can't imagine what bliss it is to sit in a tub of hot water in the open air and watch the northern lights! And under the tub, by the way, there is a fire burning! We were "cooked"! It felt great!
From a warm region of Russia, we wanted to go to the north to see the miracle of nature - the polar lights, listen to the sound of the Arctic Ocean, taste the delicious delicacies of the Barents Sea.
The tour was chosen in such a way that all our "wishes" came true, like an Aladdin's Cave. And we found such a genie! The genie turned out to be a very nice girl, Yulia, and no less pleasant was her husband, Alexander.
This warm-hearted girl loves her job and we were touched by her care throughout the tour. It reminded me of kindergarten, when everything was organized and everything was thought out for you, where to eat, who cooked it, where to go, what to wear, etc. Yulia really thought of everything!
We visited four places: Murmansk, Teriberka, Kirovsk and Apatity! We saw an unrealistically large number of places.
Apatity with the fabulous base Lights of Imandra.
It was a real fairy tale with a beautiful forest. There were bunnies and squirrels jumping around the area, ethnic antiquity attributed to the times of the Sami, lovely reindeer (and you can't name it anymore) is my love forever, reindeer rides, plush huskies-lickers, Alaskan huskies rides. A sauna with an ice hole and a rejuvenating tub in the snow with warm water.
And the most important thing! IT'S THE POLAR LIGHTS! We were lucky enough to see the Polar Lights three times!
Yulia! Thank you for organizing a New Year's tour to Murmansk!
It was unforgettable!
It's been more than 2 weeks since we returned home, and the memories are still very, very fresh!
Excellent organization, a rich unique programme and a New Year's miracle did their job: we saw whales with our own eyes on December 30!
December 31 - snowmobiles, pink mountains, snow village, magic forest, beautiful Imandra Lake! And the Polar Lights!!
I slept soundly and well every night
There was a lot more, and I would like to note that the announced tour exceeded our expectations! The whole programme is completed by 5+
We had 2 children with us - Yulia helped with them as well!!
Yulia, thank you😍😍😍 you are the most positive and comfortable guide I have ever met!
