About this experience
Get the best chance to encounter moose and other wildlife in their natural habitats. Enjoy a light campfire dinner in a pristine forest, as we guide you through the most promising areas for sightings.
Our tour begins with a short drive deep into Finnish nature. Upon arrival, we’ll start with a traditional Finnish campfire experience surrounded by nature’s calm. Enjoy homemade mixed berry juice and authentic Finnish campfire snacks as your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating stories and facts about the animals that call this region home.
Afterward - when wildlife is at its most active, we’ll drive through the area’s hidden hotspots, stopping frequently to increase our chances of spotting moose up close. With high-quality binoculars provided, you won’t miss a moment of the action.
Please note that while sightings are likely and the area is rich in wildlife, encounters with moose can never be guaranteed, as they roam freely in their natural environment.
