Private summer and winter routes beyond the Arctic Circle: the Yokanga, tundra, Barents coast, helicopter access, fishing and northern lights.
Choose a four-day Arctic route into a remote lodge, a winter snowmobile line or a longer Kola Peninsula scenario. Each is designed around a small private group and the conditions on the ground.

Journey programme
Yokanga North: Beyond the Arctic Circle
Rafting, fishing, Cape Svyatoy Nos, the Barents coast and the Arctic scale of the Kola Peninsula.
Day 1
The Great North: first encounter with the Arctic
Meet in Murmansk and transfer to the helicopter pad. A Mi-8 flight takes you to the remote Yokanga lodge for lunch and a reset. Later, fly to Cape Svyatoy Nos, where the Barents and White seas meet, for the lighthouse and the open coast—weather permitting. Dinner is built around northern produce.
Day 2
Yokanga River travel
After breakfast, fly into the upper Yokanga. Travel by raft, catamaran or kayak with field guides, then fish for salmon and sea trout. Lunch sits on the riverbank before the route continues to Cliff Camp for a slower evening and northern table.
Day 3
Tundra, ocean and Ostrovnoy
Close the river stage over lunch by the lake, then move by all-terrain vehicle towards Ostrovnoy. Soviet-era remnants and the Barents coast bring the route back to scale before the helicopter returns to the lodge for a final dinner.
Day 4
Return to Murmansk
Breakfast at the lodge, then a Mi-8 flight back to Murmansk. The route closes without rushing the final transition.
Important: this route takes place in a remote Arctic area. Flights, water activities and the order of activities depend on weather and the expedition leader’s decisions. The organiser confirms the final group composition, availability, price and logistics.
Arctic tundra, northern rivers and the frozen White Sea coast. The route and duration are shaped around the preparation and interests of your private group.
Core route
Arctic Line by BRP Snowmobile
Expedition stages through deep snow, frozen rivers, waterfalls and vast tundra fields. The distance and difficulty of each day are set according to snow conditions and participants’ experience.
Wild nature
Tundra and reindeer
Snowmobile movement and short walks through Arctic terrain, with the possibility of reindeer herds on the horizon. The route can include Kola culture and a northern table without turning the field day into a performance.
Accommodation
Remote lodge in the tundra
Warm accommodation, panoramic views and a northern sauna after an active day. The lodge is a warm operational base for day routes in remote terrain.
Evening programme
Northern Lights Watch
Watch the aurora when cloud cover and solar activity allow. The evening programme is adjusted to the live forecast.
Important: the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed. Snowmobile routes and helicopter logistics depend on weather and snow conditions.
A longer Arctic scenario for clients drawn to fishing, wilderness and northern culture: from Murmansk to a remote Yokanga camp.
Day 1
Murmansk: gateway to the Arctic
Airport welcome and a Murmansk orientation: the Alyosha monument, Kola Bay, the Lenin nuclear icebreaker, the sea terminal and Five Corners Square. Enjoy a northern-cuisine dinner and an overnight stay at a hotel.
Day 2
Transfer to the Yokanga River
Travel by helicopter or overland expedition route through the tundra. Settle into the fishing camp, meet the guides, prepare equipment and spend the evening by the fire.
Days 3–5
Yokanga: Fishing and Field Time
Catch-and-release Atlantic salmon fishing, tundra walks and wildlife observation. Encounters with ptarmigan, sea eagles and reindeer are possible.
Day 6
Sámi traditions
Return towards Murmansk with a visit to a Sámi village: learn about Indigenous culture, reindeer and local gastronomy. Farewell dinner in Murmansk.
Day 7
Free time and departure
A free morning, souvenirs and an optional outing by arrangement if the schedule allows. Transfer to the airport and end of the journey.
Optional: the programme can include a snowmobile safari, ice fishing, kayaking and a tasting of northern delicacies. Specific activities depend on the season.
