I am sure a majority of us are fascinated with nature and will be equally thrilled when a nature tour comes with nature's own guide.
White Sea - off the Barents sea on the north-west coast of Russia - which is popular for spotting pods of the all-white swimming mammals namely belugas and whales. In addition, what is so special or in fact the highlight of this tour is not only spotting these mammals but actually our tour guides for the tour.
Promised with the best of their natural knowledge where you will not only be led by them; you will also get to play with them up close and personal. So, meet your refreshing new tour guides from White Seas.
Are you interested?

This must be the best tour.It has been organised by the observed rather they have guided us to know more about their world.I can only say its unbelievable,awesome and breathtaking.It is like the Beluga whales want us to know more about their habitat and themselves.Its a nature tour organised by nature(Beluga Whales).

picjim,
I just cannot find anything close to this type of tour of the nature.
I've experienced swimming amongst the exotic marine life in the Underwater World theme park which even has a beluga but I don't think it can beat this one in the White Seas.
Just imagine having these cute mammals as your personal guide it is simply exquisite and there's really nothing in the market that is this close.
Any plans?

picjim,
Where there's a will, there's a way.
How about getting you started with some swimming lessons? One step at a time, my friend - the start of a journey is but taking the first step forward.
Hope you could realize your dream on this one....

Hi Ski,
I agree with you nothing I've heard of or seen comes any where close to this.I too have experienced beautiful marine life near a coral at Andaman Island.I think its an experience of a lifetime to have those cute mammals as your underwater guide.I can't swim else i would have made plans.

I love the photos on that site, the whales are lovely
and friendly too. It is definitely a fascinating nature tour.
How I wish I know how to dive and can dive together with the Beluga whale.
My nephew and his wife love diving. They love adventure and nature too!
I shall inform them of this adventure that they can start looking forward to.
Thanks for sharing, just love it!

Iriene88,
You are welcome, my friend.
I hope that you will be able to learn and pick up swimming and diving in the near future - not only to be able to go for this experience but actually enjoy other water sports or activities.

anne25penn,
I am sure you can and I suppose that will be looking for more information now. Sure would be nice if you can squeeze it into your trip's plans.
Take care and have a nice day.

Hi there Sky Success. I like the sound of the adventure in Wales seeing the wildlife. I like to experience mother nature at her best. I am put off by the cost of a Russian visa. I have thought of going to Russia twice but the visa difficulty is what keeps me from going. If it becomes visa free I will choose to visit Russia.
In Belize I snorkeled with sting rays and nurse sharks. In French Polynesia I snorkeled with black tipped sharks. I loved snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I have been on a safari in Kenya. I visited the Masai Mara and Lake Nakaru. I liked seeing the lions, zebras, elephants, hippos and giraffes. In Australia I got to see koalas and kangaroos. When I was in New Zealand I saw yellow eyed penguins.

maximax8,
I've been to some of the places that you had mentioned like the Great Barrier Reef, Kruger National Park, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Mauritius and even the Underwater World up close with a beluga.
But, I am sure it is not going to be anywhere close to this one, where the host is even from nature's own. Having had the experience in a much tame confines with these mammals will never be anywhere close with the vast open of the White Seas.
I am already planning for this trip, probably to take place next year as this year's trips are already booked and paid for already.
Any plans for this one?

creative_genius,
I am glad that you liked it and nothing would make me happier than hearing from members like you actually experiencing the tour for yourselves.
So, I hope that some day will be soon for you......

Although I think I won't be on any type of trip like this anywhere near the future I wouldn't mind taking my family on one. I think the kids are just amazed at looking at wild animals. They love animals period! I am amazed at how they get excited at even looking at desert turtles, or whales at Sea World. It's something about just being close to nature that makes a child get awed more than a wild ride at a park.

PDBME2,
Children are always easily fascinated especially when their tender minds are so vibrant and active at its peak.
Being up close with animals at a tender age also teach important lessons of nature and our surroundings. Most of all, it could teach them another lesson about love and caring.
I've been close with a beluga before in one of those dives in the underwater world theme park but looking at the pictures here the experience at White Seas will make underwater world amateurish. Having our fellow being as a guide could already been mundane to us but having a whale or beluga or both?
I just have to encourage you to make this one if not for your travel plans, at least for the bucket list.

That would be absolutely amazing to have the experience to do in my life. In fact, earlier this year I made a bucket list of things that I would like to do in my life and seeing a whale was something that is on my bucket list. There are a lot of things that I would like to achieve in my life and though I don't know that I will have the opportunity to achieve all of them, I do have a lot of things in my life to look forward to. Thank you for sharing the wonderful pictures.

hushi22,
You are welcome.
However, I am sure it will be nicer if you will be able to make it there for this tour. The pictures are just so awesome, imagine yourself being held by the hand, led around the depths and playing with them.
Start saving up?
