Description
Explore Finland’s wildlife on this tour, such as moose, roe - and white tailed deer . Relax by a campfire, visit a scenic watchtower, and stop at prime locations to maximize your wildlife sightings
Discover Finland’s untamed beauty on a wildlife adventure in the serene landscapes of the Porkkala Peninsula, just an hour’s drive from Helsinki city center. Known for its diverse wildlife and breathtaking coastal views, Porkkala offers one of Finland’s best opportunities for spotting animals in their natural habitat.
Upon arrival, start with a short walk in the beautiful Porkkalanniemi peninsula coast, and enjoy 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, from elusive moose to majestic white-tailed eagles.
Once the sun begins to set, we'll climb a watchtower offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest and coastline. Afterwards, —when wildlife is at its most active—, we will drive through the area’s hidden hotspots, stopping frequently to increase your chances of spotting wildlife up close. Keep your eyes peeled for roe deer grazing in the meadows, foxes emerging from the undergrowth, or moose appearing from the woods. 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 animals — especially the elusive moose — can never be guaranteed, as they roam freely in their natural environment. Nevertheless, the thrill of searching combined with the beauty of Porkkala’s landscapes makes this an unforgettable Finnish wilderness experience.
