The Wild Finland tour starts and ends in Basecamp Oulanka. The Wild Finland is a safari tour that takes 6 days taking you through Basecamp Oulanka, Finland and other destinations in Finland.

As if impatient from the tortuously cold winter months, far-eastern Finland emerges from hibernation in full bloom, its fauna keen to redress the balance. Delve into the wilderness to unravel and illuminate its remarkable wildlife, watching eagerly from a hide for the arrival of brown bears. Bears aren’t the only highlight as we get to experience of Oulanka National Park, blessed with white-water rivers, spruce forest and scotch pine. Nature rafting and a husky walk are also part of the adventure.
