Summer in Finland offers almost endless daylight, lush green forests and extraordinary wildlife encounters. July is also the very best time of year to observe wild brown bear cubs exploring their natural environment. Thanks to our many years of experience, we carefully time our summer bear watching holidays to coincide with the peak period for cubs of the year. In fact, we are proud to have maintained a 100% success rate of observing bear cubs on every one of our previous tours to this destination. This remarkable journey takes you to one of the world’s premier bear watching locations, famously featured in the acclaimed BBC Planet Earth series, narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

With the long days of the Nordic summer and its beautiful golden light, conditions are ideal for both wildlife photography and observation. Beyond brown bears and their cubs, there is also an excellent chance of encountering other iconic species, including wolverines, white-tailed eagles and, with a little luck, even wolves. Whether you’re a wildlife photographer, a passionate nature enthusiast or simply someone seeking an authentic wilderness experience, this tour offers an unforgettable opportunity to witness some of Europe’s most spectacular wildlife.

In addition to bear cubs, this region supports one of the highest densities of brown bears anywhere in Finland. Guests can therefore expect to photograph a wide variety of individuals, from playful cubs and protective mothers to some of the country’s largest adult males. Each evening, we travel by vehicle to carefully positioned wildlife hides, where you’ll settle in for an exciting overnight experience immersed in the wilderness. Here, you’ll witness intimate moments of bear family life and enjoy exceptional photographic opportunities in complete comfort. It is an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
