Overview

Our collection of bear watching holidays to Finland, in the northern reaches of Europe, allows visitors to experience these animals in their natural habitats. These are powerful creatures, difficult to find, rewarding to spot and even more fulfilling to watch.

Finland’s eastern region of Kuhmo, the wildlife runs wild and the Petola Nature Centre strives to bring travellers and photographers up close to the thriving population of brown bears. The bear hides are ideal for spending the night on lookout in the northern summer months.

Our bear watching holidays allow guests to explore the area on an active adventure, focus on their photography or can combine their bear-watching with a number of other interests, including bird-watching, kayaking, photography and nature hiking – we can create a tailormade itinerary allowing you to experience the wonder of Finland’s bears in your own way.

From mild fear to major giddiness. Be prepared for the unbelievable size of the brown bears as they come trundling out of the forests in Eastern Finland. Take a small tripod to steady your camera – I guarantee you'll be trembling with excitement as you come to take the shot.
