Photo tour to the Kola Peninsula for the first snow and the Northern Lights
From 75 000₽ per person
Description
Type: Multi-day activity
* Of course, the Kola Peninsula is very interesting for travelers and photographers, for lovers of northern nature, as well as history. The route we have developed is very diverse in terms of landscapes. During a short trip, just over a week, you will have time to see and photograph mountains, rivers and lakes, tundra and taiga, and visit the shores of two seas, the White Sea and the Barents Sea. You can say that you will touch the Arctic Ocean.
In addition, the Kola Peninsula is one of the few polar and polar regions of Russia in the country where not only a diverse route can be built, but its infrastructure allows you to build a comfortable route. That is, to see all this, you will not need to carry heavy backpacks and live in tents, like somewhere in Yakutia. You can get anywhere by car, and if you walk with your feet, then it's not far and light. And it will be possible to live everywhere in hotels and at the same time close to the most interesting places.
All travel on the route in a comfortable and spacious minibus, including meeting at the airport and transfer to the airport for the return flight. The transport will definitely not be crowded. All overnight stays in hotel rooms (inns). Accommodation in double occupancy. No physical exertion! We'll get to all the main filming locations by car. All planned hiking trails are relatively simple and small in distance. Well, maybe we can climb Volosyanaya Hill as much as we can, but this is not necessary at all.
!!! You need to be ready to get up in the middle of the night and go to the shooting points if there are favorable conditions for observing the aurora borealis! If you want, of course.
