Guest reviews
The North through the eyes of travelers who have been there
We show guests’ messages, photos, and ratings just as they sent them.
Murmansk had been a dream of mine for so long. When the time finally came to experience it, it was simply wonderful 😍 A huge thank-you to our guide Natalia, the entire team at the base, Maria from the café, and our chef Daler — you made this vacation even more special. Teriberka now has a piece of my heart. I’ll definitely come back in summer, find the whales, and return again and again, I think. The North has a place in my heart now. I’m so glad I chose this team, even though I originally planned to travel with another one. Just — thank you so much ❤❤❤
