Arctic Tour to Newborn Seals

There are actually only two places in the world where you can watch newborn seals – Canada and the White Sea. After 2011, when the growing climatic changes began: bad winters, weak ice formation, unstable weather, it became possible to communicate with the pups of the harp seal mainly only in the White Sea.

Meeting guests at the airport or train station in Arkhangelsk (We recommend making travel insurance for active recreation).
Flight to the coast of the White Sea. Accommodation in an eco-hotel. Lunch at a restaurant, acquaintance, safety meeting (rules of conduct at the helicopter and on the ice among the seals). A brief introduction to the life aspects of harp seals.

Dinner at the restaurant. Selection of clothes and shoes for going out on the ice. Recreation. The hotel has a spa complex and baths. There are snowmobiles and many other fun activities for children and adults.

Hearty breakfast at the hotel. Preparation and testing of equipment. Additional instruction on the observation of seals in the White Sea. Reconciliation of weather and ice conditions. Departure by helicopter Robinson R44 (3 seats + 1 pilot) in search of a herd of harp seals. During the flight over the White Sea, beautiful views open up, the pictures in the window will constantly change: flocks of swimming beluga whales, lonely walruses and numerous seal monasteries on huge ice floes. And finally, moms with pups. It is worth noting that not every flight ends in success. Usually we try to scout out the presence of seals on the ice in advance, but it is not always possible to predict their appearance. In addition, the weather can intervene.

A hearty lunch on the road on one of the ice floes in the White Sea. Beautiful views and sun amid ice and hummocks. Return. Free time.
Bath with honey and seaweed recipes. There is also a restaurant and bar on site where you can share your impressions of the White Sea seal watching tour. Or you can walk along one of the eco-routes that are located on the territory of the hotel.

Dinner. Recreation.

Breakfast in the hotel. The third day of the Seer Spotting Tour focuses on land-based entertainment. Or in case of bad weather or absence of seals on the second day, the flight is postponed to the third day. Guests are invited to walk along ecological routes near the park, go on a snowmobile tour (for an additional fee), take a steam bath, enjoy the services of a spa complex, and go on an excursion to a local peasant village. By agreement, you can organize a flight to the Solovetsky Monastery to see it as well.

Lunch and dinner. Recreation.

Breakfast. Delivery of rooms at the hotel. Free time. Again, you can go for a walk along the snow-covered taiga or the White Sea coast. Of course, it is unlikely that one will be able to see seals from the shore, but other inhabitants of the taiga can also be seen on the territory.

Lunch at the hotel. Departure to Vaskovo airport. Then transfer to Talagi airport for evening flights to Moscow and St. Petersburg. End of the tour to see seals on the White Sea.
