EXCURSION TO THE SAAMI VILLAGE

Ethnic excursion - 1 day in the life of the Sami
MURMANAVRORA - YOUR GUIDE TO THE NORTH!
WORKING SINCE 2015 - GIVING BRIGHT TRAVELS!

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE EXCURSION TO THE SAAMI VILLAGE

The Sami are a small indigenous Finno-Ugric people. In another way they were called "Lapps", hence the name «Lapland» - «the land of the Lapps». They led a semi-nomadic lifestyle and followed their herds of reindeer from place to place. In addition to reindeer husbandry, the Sami were engaged in hunting, fishing, and berry picking. They believed in the existence of spirits, and learned to subdue the natural elements with the help of sorcerers - noids.

At the moment, the total number of Sami is from 60 to 80 thousand people. They live in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia. We will go to visit the Russian Sami.

During the excursion, we will get acquainted with the Sami way of life, play games, try on national costumes, feed northern animals and taste traditional dishes for lunch.

Excursion - Photo-trip to Teriberka
It was amazing! The excursion was like a hunt: interesting, recklessly and even dramatic (at some point it seemed to us that because of the sky covered with clouds we would not see the radiance), but Andrey is a cool professional and we saw such a radiance and play, from which to still chills with memories)) Andrey has excellent photographic equipment, photos and videos were received the next morning!

We also drove to Teriberka - also great impressions. Very attentive and sincere attitude of Andrey and his wife to each tourist. You can feel the love of these people for the place in which they live. It costs a lot!

It was a great ride! Service at the highest level. We found the northern lights, although the chances weren't great. We were treated to tea, warmed up and took a bunch of photos. Only positive emotions remained from the excursion)

Excursion - Hunting for the Northern Lights
Dear Lyuba, thank you very much for organizing and well-conducted excursion! Your love for your work and your land, your involvement made us think about additional trips to the Murmansk region and we will, of course, be with you :).
In fact. Lyuba, at our request, met my friend and me at the airport and we went on a tour. The car is very comfortable and roomy, there was even room for suitcases.
Lyuba first of all outlined the plan of the day and how long to go to the first point; where there will be toilets and where you can eat; it was important to me. Separately, Lyuba said that she remembers our wishes for visiting additional places. Another concern of the guide was the sandwiches she took with her and the herbal tea brewed especially for us.
It was also not boring on the road, despite the two-hour drive, it was interesting to listen to the stories of the guide.
In general, the day was wonderful: beautiful unusual places, a fully completed program of a rich excursion and at a comfortable pace, an interesting and intelligent companion-guide, many photographs taken with them, including those taken by Anyone and sent to us in the evening of the same day ...
All this remained with us warm emotions.
Thanks!

Excursion - Photo-trip to Teriberka
Was on an excursion with my family on June 27. The excursion went well with interesting informational support. The guide Andrei and his wife Lyubov turned out to be very cultured people and attentive to our wishes. During the movement along the route to Teriberka, they stopped the car without any problems, if we wanted to take photos with beautiful landscapes, they themselves suggested interesting places, not counting the main objects in Teriberka. The dinner was also worthy. So we were very comfortable with them, we are happy to recommend Andrey and Lyubov as organizers of the excursion. We ourselves are considering the possibility of going with them to other places in the Murmansk region.
