A unique experience - swimming with wild Belugas (white whales) near the Solovetsky Islands!

The Solovetsky Islands (or also referred to as Solovki) are the heart of the White Sea. The beauty of the pristine nature of the Russian North is combined with the rich history and spirit of sea adventures. Every summer Belugas (or white whales) come here. Every day these beautiful animals gather near the Beluga Cape. Here they breed, give birth, care for and train their cubs, communicate with each other. It is said that sometimes there are even fights of males, and then water around the boat boils.
Whale Watching Russia are the only ones in the world who have learned to swim with Beluga whales near the Solovetsky Islands. More precisely, Beluga whales do their swim with us, they come and look at us curiously. It took us 4 years to implement this project. This technique is quite a complex one, and only we can apply it.
In order to minimize the anxiety of animals, as well as to make our guests get the most complete impressions, we do swimming in small groups up to 4 people, and during the low season, when Belugas are already there, but yet there are very few tourists. We only do two trips of this kind per year.
In addition to observing Beluga whales, nature lovers can expect the freediving with seals, which can be observed every day on the Top Island. It is home to ringed seals and bearded seals.
In our spare time we will go on our land route programme, we will drive through the Island and imbue with its spirit, touch the rich and sometimes tragic history of archipelago of the Gulag times, learn about life of the islanders.
