I have been visiting Finland regularly for well over a decade and consider this remarkable country my second home. I have spent more time travelling throughout Finland than in any other country and, during this time, have proactively worked at all of the established bear-watching locations from north to south.
This in-depth understanding of the various locations has been invaluable in organising tours to photograph Finnish predators, as each site performs differently throughout the seasons. Every year I guide a number of Finnish predator photography tours throughout the year, starting in April when the bears have freshly emerged from hibernation, continuing through the endless midsummer days, and into the final weeks of autumn, when bears are busy feeding during their hyperphagia stage.
All tours are managed through my company, BearPhoto, which specialises in bear photography adventures across the globe. As a company, we offer one of the most comprehensive programmes for predator photographers in Finland. Although this page provides a summary, please visit the BearPhoto website to learn more about our seasonal programme of tours. By clicking the logo below, you will be directed to the official BearPhoto website, where you can view our full range of tours and explore detailed itineraries.
Mid-October and the days are getting ever-shorter, as we shift our usual pattern of entering the hides, choosing to shoot throughout the day to maximise the beautiful low autumnal light. For many years now the Wolves in this area have reproduced and the current pack is going strong. With bold group dynamics amongst the pack, we’re guaranteed to witness some incredibly unique wildlife photography opportunities, that quite literally nowhere else on earth can offer.
