VIP tours

For VIPs who prefer a higher-comfort Russian Arctic adventure, this is the place for you. We offer highly catered but extremely adventurous tours using the most luxurious transport and accommodation in the region.

Do not think that adding comfort means less adventure. The opposite is true. Hiring private helicopters and well-appointed all-terrain vehicles will open up spectacular places that are inaccessible to most travellers.

There are several levels of increased comfort that we can provide for any of our set itineraries and for tailored tours:

  1. Any tour we offer can be done by private helicopter instead of ground transport. However, please be aware that blizzards occur almost every day in Arctic Russia in winter, equipment at airports is not up to European standards and air traffic controllers are very strict. All this means that helicopters are very often delayed. Sometimes this is by hours, quite often by days and on rare occasions even by weeks. Unless you have a lot of spare time, you may want to reconsider using a helicopter in winter, especially as the snow and frozen rivers make almost anywhere easily accessible overland. In summer, weather is better and many interesting places are very hard to access overland, as the tundra becomes so swampy with the melting permafrost. This is when it can really make sense to use a helicopter if you do not mind missing out on a rough but exciting overland adventure. Delays do​

still occur, but they are less frequent and shorter than in winter.

2. We can provide luxurious heated living tents, heated bathing tents and full catering teams in any of the advertised destinations.

3. If you prefer to do everything overland, we can upgrade the type of all-terrain vehicle used and the duration of its rental. For example, instead of hiring a Trekol all-terrain vehicle only to get you out to a nomad camp on the Yamal Peninsula, you can hire it for the whole duration of your trip. This means you will not have to travel on freezing bumpy sledges attached to the back of snowmobiles when accompanying the Nenets on their daily herding work or migrations. You will also always have a living space where you can warm up or work. We can also set up the back of the Trekol to provide a comfortable sleeping area if you prefer this to sleeping in the chum with the nomadic family.

4. Instead of hiring a Trekol, you can use a Burlak all-terrain vehicle. This has six beds, a table and a kitchenette inside. It is twice as expensive as a Trekol.

5. On all our trips, we use only the best available accommodation in every place visited. Our standard prices include standard rooms at hotels. However, you are welcome to request an upgrade to deluxe rooms or suites.
