F.A.Q. / 常問問題

1. When we can see Aurora?

Season for hunting aurora: from 20 August till 20 April

2. What month is best ?

2018/19
Best month for Aurora was : October, February

2019/20
Best month for Aurora was : March, April

2020/21 : September, January and March,

2021/22 : end November - start December, January

2022/23 : FULL season, January-March

and nobody know, what month will be best further, because Aurora is natural phenomena

but : we have experience and more than 95% our guests, who stay at Murmansk 3 nights, had success

3. Murmansk or Teriberka ?

From Teriberka have only one direction for hunting for lights.

From Murmansk 4 directions.

If you want hunting aurora, better stay all nights in Murmansk

4. forecast  

All forecast have wrongs and mistakes.
I use more seriuos app and informations (satellite photos, windy, temperature, etc)

In real, I can answer to you about the Sun activity and Clouds, before 1 day.

>>> For example: you will come to Murmansk 15 - 19 xxx.

15th I will check forecast and all information, and I can tell you : I think, clouds and activity will better 18th. So, we will go to hunting aurora 18th.

But, 17th I will send you new mssg : forecast change, we must go tonight Are you ready ? And we go, and have succes 😉

5. exchange money  

Now sanctions, and we use rubles only. Foreign come to Russia with cash (rubles) , or use ATM in banks (need check your card, can take cash in Sberbank, Tinkoff or some bank ATM)
Open Sim card and bank card in Russia- easy. the bank card you can open online 

6. Most popular: Northern lights + Teriberka (Arctic Ocean Tour)
Is it for one day tour ?  

1. A lot of tourists. Every year over and over. We want make good service, we need time time to prepare 
2. Good locations have limiy. In Murmansk live 280,000 people only. Not enough hotels, guides, husky parks, cars, restaurants, stuff
3. Need make permit, booking restaurant and bost, etc. We need time for do it

7. why I recommend booking early 

For example: 

you stay in Murmansk 07, 08, 09, 10.xx

Teriberka 08.xx

Aurora 07, 08, 09, or 10.xx (07th I will check forecast and send you mssg, when we will go)

Step 2.
we decide go 09th.xx, but forecast change. I send you mssg - let's go tonight. And we go

P.S. forecast change often , but I control it 😉 dont worry, wait my mssg only
