2025 Teriberka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Our trip across the Kola Peninsula was an unforgettable adventure through some of the most breathtaking and raw landscapes we’ve ever seen. We began with a hike to Krestovaya Mountain in Kandalaksha – described as “easy,” but definitely more challenging than expected. Still, even the halfway point rewarded us with panoramic views of the White Sea and surrounding islands. Next was Kolvitskiy Waterfall, a dramatic cascade hidden in Arctic wilderness. The hike from the village was short but beautiful, and the falls themselves were majestic – wild, loud, and unforgettable. In Teriberka, we explored the iconic stone beach, also known as the “beach with dragon eggs.” Giant round stones, wind from the Arctic Ocean, and surreal landscapes made it feel like another planet. Nearby, the Graveyard of Ships offered a haunting contrast, with rusted skeletons of vessels scattered across the shore – eerie and deeply atmospheric. We had lunch at Hotel Ter’, where the food was good and the view even better. Service was a little cold at first, but improved with time. In Murmansk, our best meal was at Terrasa Restaurant – everything from wild boar to seafood was outstanding, and our waiter Vlad made the experience even more special. Right outside Murmansk Railway Station, we discovered Pelmen House, a hidden gem for dumpling lovers. Blue dumplings, reindeer pelmeni, and warm service made it a must-visit spot. We also visited the nuclear icebreaker Lenin, an awe-inspiring engineering marvel docked in Murmansk’s harbor, surrounded by food trucks and scenic views. Our stay at a “ship cabin-themed” hotel Vatslav was disappointing – cramped rooms, poor service, and zero ventilation. Definitely not for claustrophobic travelers. But other places more than made up for it. From adorable reindeer and huskies at a local farm to the mighty Batareyskiy Waterfall after a 4 km eco-trail hike – this region is full of magical moments. The Russian North is raw, powerful, and absolutely worth exploring. #Murmansk #Teriberka #RussiaTravel #ArcticAdventure #Waterfalls #NorthernRussia #HiddenGems #TripMoments #NatureLovers #EpicViews

Teriberka, the land at the end of the world It is a place where the word beautiful can be used very extravagantly. Wherever you walk, you will exclaim "Wow" all the way. It is beautiful and magnificent. Nature is so beautiful. You will see the vast Bahrain Sea and next to it is the North Pole. The surrounding area has a lake which in winter will be completely frozen and there is also a frozen waterfall. It is a place that makes us very excited and the wind is very strong too.^^ #Travel Russia #teriberka

We went to Teriberka in winter and didn’t know that you can see whales there but once we knew, it was decided immediately to go for it! First, you need to wear lots of warm clothes, second, you need to know that the vessel is very old 😅 and third, you have to be ready that it may take long time to “hunt” on whales, but the good point is that there are many ships in the sea and once one of them spotted whales the other ones keep in touch and rush to the same area. The rest is just luck : how close you will be to that creatures 🥹 #celebrateit

On central beach of Teriberka you can find an old ship. There is a mysterious story about how this ship appeared to be there. The story says that one day this ship was found on the shore with no person on board. It was absolutely empty and still this mysterious riddle has not been solved. But nowadays this ship became a touristic place where many people come. #celebrateit

📍Address: teriberka russia 💞Reason for recommendation: For those who want to see the northern lights, at a price of ten thousand, this place is quite suitable. 🗓️Travel planning: It is recommended to land in Murmansk and book a car because this place is quite far from the city, which we can call a taxi to drive to. But the view while driving is just as beautiful. - On a clear day, we can look up at the sky without having to hire a car to chase the northern lights. But it is very good to check the light intensity index during the time you come to prepare yourself. The rest may have to take a chance to see if the sky is clear that day. If it is during a period of strong light, it will be quite clear. You can say that you can look until you get tired of it.

I really like Russia! Everything seems to be predestined. My best friend originally planned to go to see the volcano. But the recent project I was working on was not expected to be completed until mid-October, so I didn’t go. As a result, the project suddenly died at the end of September and I didn’t have a visa. I opened Amap to see the world map. I chose this country and the electronic visa was issued in 4 days. I flew directly from Chengdu to St. Petersburg. I didn’t know you could see the Northern Lights in Russia before I went there! I saw a few notes by chance and chose Murmansk between Murmansk and Moscow. I decided to chase the northern lights. I didn’t expect to see it in Moore as soon as I got off the plane! Although the forecast index was very low before I went there, I saw it on two or three days after I went there. I met two kids from Shanghai at the airport. We got along really well. We specially hired an aurora hunter to help us choose the direction of Finland to chase the light 350 yuan per person for 3 hours The car just drove out of the city and encountered a big explosion There was a huge explosion after midnight. We were very lucky. The whole sky was full of it! ! My New Year's wish for 2020 is to chase the Northern Lights in Iceland. I didn't go abroad because of the mask. I didn't expect that it would suddenly happen in Russia. Moreover, the cost of living in Russia is very low. Two people had the best food, accommodation and flights for 6 days and it only cost 30,000 yuan in total. It's very touching. The residents are also simple and friendly to China. On the first day, I couldn't withdraw money when I got off the plane and was surrounded by people to help me. In short, I like Russia P.S. I don't recommend going to Teriberka. It's a bit boring and chasing light is not as easy as chasing light in Moore. Teriberka Severomorsk

On a day with a temperature of -30 degrees, the sun did not rise above the horizon. It was dark all day. #coldest #onceinalifetime 🥶🥶

In Murmansk, Russia, in addition to the Northern Lights, the fishing village of Teriberka is also very beautiful.

If I were 18 years old, I would probably feel envious of who I am now. Before I turned 30, I realized my wish to see the Aurora. Fortunately, on my first night in Teriberka, I witnessed a magnificent burst of auroras. At 22:00 in the evening, with a sense of expectation, I strolled to the Barents Sea, trying to find the mysterious aurora. At first, there was just a faint green light on the other side of the sea, but then it turned into a red-green glow that could be seen all over the sky. Against the backdrop of the bright starry sky and occasional shooting stars, I was deeply shocked by this scene and moved to tears. The beauty of this moment is something I cannot adequately express in words.

🧣 When it comes to the dreams of snow lovers and the polar atmosphere, Teriberka is one of the destinations that you must visit at least once! A small village on the coast of the Barents Sea in northern Russia, about 2 hours from Murmansk, is a place full of tranquility and natural charm in winter. ☃️ What's good about Teriberka in winter? 1. Hunting the Northern Lights Teriberka is one of the most popular places for hunting the Aurora Borealis because the area is far from city lights, making the sky clear and pitch black. The chances of seeing the Northern Lights are very high! Especially if you come during December-February, you may see the Northern Lights dancing across the sky. 2. Spectacular view of the Arctic In winter, the entire village is covered in snow and ice, while the coastline is full of broken ice, a view that is both raw and beautiful that will take your breath away. 3. Ship Graveyard A popular photo spot filled with the remains of old ships that have been left to rot on the shore. In winter, these shipwrecks are covered in snow, creating a different kind of charm. 4. Frozen waterfall Waterfalls near the coast of Teriberka freeze over in winter, making it another great place to take photos and experience the grandeur of nature. 5. Experience the traditional way of life This small village still preserves the original way of life of the locals. Most of the villagers still live a simple life in the cold environment. 🛷 Must-do activities in Teriberka • Snowmobile riding or sledding Have fun playing in the snow on a snowmobile or try riding a sled pulled by reindeer for a different kind of polar feel. • Try local food Fresh seafood from the Barents Sea, such as King Crab and salmon. We recommend trying the warm fish soup that helps relieve the cold very well. • Take a walk along the Barents Sea. Even though it's cold and the strong wind bites your face, the beauty of the coast and the sound of waves hitting the ice make this experience worthwhile. How to get to Teriberka • From Murmansk, it takes about 2-3 hours by car (it is recommended to book a car with a driver who has experience driving on snow roads). • The road in winter may be covered in heavy snow, so check the weather conditions before traveling. Tips for visiting Teriberka in winter • Dress warmly: It is very cold here, temperatures can drop as low as -30°C. A down coat, gloves, hat, and non-slip shoes are a must-have. • Bring a flashlight and power banks: The days are very short in winter (about 3-4 hours of light per day). • Book a tour in advance: Since it is a small village, a guided tour will help you get the best experience. 🪆 Personal impression Teriberka feels like you have entered a world of silence and great nature. Every corner here looks simple but is full of the power of nature, especially sitting and watching the northern lights in the sky, surrounded by white snow covering everything. It is an experience that is both cold and warm at the same time! 📸: #malztfiction #wintertravel #travelabroadbyyourself

For me, the charm of Teriberka is not only the splendor of the aurora, but also the deep blue of the Arctic Ocean.💙 I have visited many islands and seen countless beaches🏖️, but the unique color of the Arctic Ocean has always fascinated me. Even in winter, when the sky is often overcast, the sea still retains its deep blue color, a natural color that no post-processing technique can fully reproduce. I prefer the scenery of old Teriberka, such as the swing under the stranded ship, the frozen throne, the wooden boat on the beach... These scenes can capture the feeling of loneliness with just a snap, making it an ideal paradise for photography enthusiasts!

Where is Teriberka and what can we discover there? Today, AGtogether will introduce everyone to this place. Teriberka is a small fishing village with only a few thousand residents, located at the edge of Russia. This area opens out to the Arctic Ocean, and in winter, temperatures can drop to as low as -20 to -30 degrees Celsius. This makes Teriberka a must-visit destination, especially when we are already hunting for the Northern Lights in Murmansk. We decided to book a local day tour with a local guide. The excitement began as soon as we got on the bus when the guide informed us that there would be a snowstorm today. We had to manage our time well to return before evening, or we might get caught in the storm. The journey from Murmansk to Teriberka is about 139 kilometers, filled with mesmerizing snowy landscapes along the way. Our first stop was to ride snowmobiles to a snowy waterfall and a beach. Throughout our journey, we faced a snowstorm head-on, which was thrilling. After taking plenty of photos, our local guide took us on a tour of the fishing village, the old harbor, and we enjoyed fresh seafood. It was an unforgettable day. Despite being a small village, Teriberka left a lasting impression on us. P.S. On our way back, we indeed encountered a snowstorm and got stuck in the snow for a while. It was very exciting, but we were lucky to make it back to Murmansk safely.

Although humans are in summer, they always love to recall winter❄️ In the past two days I have compiled photos of my trip to Russia during Spring Festival The days I spent in Jeri came to light once again This town in the Sea of ​​Barron Not only can you see the aurora outside the door There is also endless loneliness and purity at the end of the world💙 Here, we take a boat out to chase whales🐳 Hike around the Arctic Ocean in a cold wind of minus 30 degrees I also met an experienced Wang Wang🐶 on the way Take us through the snow and shortcut back to the B&B We swing by the sea, eat king crab🦀️, and drink the Arctic Ocean I am also lucky enough to see the golden mountains of Rizhao✨ It was very "bitter" and unforgettable, I will probably recall it for the rest of my life

#AuroraTour #Aurora #WhaleWatching #Russia The Northern Lights is a natural wonder that you must see once in your life. The autumn and winter seasons from September to February every year are the months for enjoying the aurora. The season for auroras to explode is usually in early spring or late autumn. There is also a chance to see the aurora from March to April. The most popular areas for chasing the aurora are Northern Europe (including Finland, Norway, and Iceland) and Yellowknife, Canada in North America. There are plenty of opportunities to see the aurora borealis at these locations close to the North Pole. In fact, Russia has the longest aurora belt in the world. Theoretically, it is the second most suitable region for chasing auroras on the earth after Canada. However, in the aurora tourism industry, Russia has been unknown for a long time. Russia still has an emerging aurora capital located within the Arctic Circle - Murmansk (Mypmahck).

For me, what attracts me the most about Teriberka is not the aurora borealis, but the 💙 deep blue of the Arctic Ocean. I have traveled through many islands, seen countless beaches, but the color of the Arctic Ocean's water still strikes me as very special. Even in the perennially overcast winter, the water still displays a profound blue, a hue that post-processing can never truly replicate as seen by the naked eye. Teriberka is divided into Old Teriberka and New Teriberka, with fixed tourist attractions. Day tour drivers will take you to each in turn. Personally, I still prefer Old Teriberka. Although the photo props are artificially placed, they fit the scene well. The swing under the beached boat, the frozen throne, the wooden boat on the beach, that casually captured atmosphere of solitude, is simply a paradise for loners‼️ New Teriberka is mainly about the beaches and waterfalls, which require an additional 🎫 ticket. There's no need to go in winter, as the waterfalls are frozen, and the wind is really too strong!! The wind chill is very, very cold

North of the continent, south of the Arctic Ocean. If there is an end to the world, I think it must be the snow and the endless sea. In the brief 24 hours in Jeri, on the edge of the continent, we endured the baptism of a blizzard. At this moment, I truly felt that I had arrived at the end of the world, and that the end of the world is really all Chinese people. Snow covered everything, only the warm current from the Atlantic washed the beach to reveal a line of pebbles. I thought that in this wilderness, there would only be human activities, but looking into the distance, I could vaguely see some black dots. Picking up the camera, I was shocked to find that it was a flock of ducks, and I couldn't help but marvel at the power of life. The main purpose of coming to Jeri is, of course, to see the aurora borealis just by stepping outside, and I was lucky to see it on the first night. Now Jeri really often has blizzards that close roads, so friends who want to go must pay attention to the road closure situation, because if the roads are closed, you can only take a helicopter back to Murmansk.

As a happy puppy, ENFP also loves this kind of atmosphere. It really feels like I've reached the end of the world, everything is unreal Encountered a blizzard at sea while chasing whales Lonely in the Arctic Ocean language:
