- Day 1: Fly into Murmansk and check in. Evening: first aurora tour (if skies are clear).
- Day 2: Visit the nuclear icebreaker Lenin (a museum ship in the port) and the Alyosha monument for city views. Evening aurora hunt.
- Day 3: Sami village, learning about the indigenous Sami culture, feeding reindeer and riding a reindeer sled; husky farm and dog sledding. Usually a day tour.
- Day 4: Teriberka on the Barents Sea (about 3–4 hours by road in winter): "dinosaur egg" boulder beach, ship graveyard, frozen waterfall. Stay overnight to hunt the aurora over the sea.
- Day 5: Back to Murmansk and fly out.
Tips:
- In winter the Teriberka road can close in blizzards; go with a tour using suitable vehicles and keep a spare day.
- In December – early January daylight is very short (polar night), so plan outdoor activities around 11:00 – 14:00.
- Book tours and Teriberka stays early; capacity is limited.
