Before the program begins

We recommend arriving in Murmansk by 14:00, making your own way into the city, and checking in. Airport transfer is not included; a taxi to the city center costs approximately ₽1,300.

There is time to rest before 17:30. We’ll send the meeting point, guide’s contact details, and clothing advice after booking.

Arctic cooking workshop and group dinner

At 18:00, meet the group and chef. Part of the workshop takes place at the outdoor grill area, with the main session indoors in a warm setting.

Prepare northern ingredients together, taste seafood delicacies, and get ready for the journey over a shared dinner.

Northern Lights hunting

After dinner, we’ll head out of town. The guide monitors cloud cover and solar activity and chooses the most promising spot.

The guide takes photos of guests with a professional camera. We expect to return to your accommodation around 01:00.
