There are places you want to visit not just for a single attraction, but for the very experience of traveling. The Northern Kildin Lighthouse is just such a place. It’s located on Kildin Island, amid the rugged northern landscapes where cliffs plunge into the Barents Sea and the horizon seems endless. To see this remote corner from the water is to experience the true character of the Arctic.

Kildin Lighthouse – a lighthouse on the edge of the Arctic
More about the location
Kildin Island is located off the northern coast of the Kola Peninsula. Its remoteness, rocky shores, and the open sea create a unique atmosphere—here, it’s easy to imagine yourself as part of a real northern expedition.
The journey to the lighthouse begins in Teriberka. As the shore recedes behind you, the silhouettes of islands appear ahead, and all around you are nothing but water, wind, and the northern sky. That is precisely why the Barents Sea becomes not just a part of the route, but one of the trip’s most memorable experiences.

The Kildin Lighthouse and the island in the middle of the Barents Sea
The best way to explore this area is to head out to sea. A boat trip in Teriberka lets you see the coastline and remote spots from a completely different perspective. And a full-fledged cruise across the Barents Sea turns into a mini-adventure, where every kilometer of the route reveals a new landscape.

From Teriberka to the Kildin Lighthouse
If you’re looking for a place to rent a boat in Teriberka, the SeaHike team is here to help. A boat in Teriberka opens up access to locations you wouldn’t be able to see on a typical road trip.
And if you’d like to combine exploring the northern coast with observing marine life, check out the itineraries that include whale watching and fishing in Murmansk.

Everything went great!
Good afternoon. Everything went great! It was a bit bumpy, but nothing too bad. Thanks! I’ll have to come back for some fish.
Dmitry
Everything is great!
Hi there! The weather wasn't quite what we'd hoped for, but we knew that was likely to be the case. We actually left Khibiny because of the weather. Everything went very well, though—I hope we'll be back when the weather is warmer and calmer.
