About the tour : Departure at the beginning of the afternoon, pick up from Rovaniemi. We drive to the brown bear watching cabin where we spend the evening and the night. The second day we join a national park in the morning to hike and to enjoy a traditional BBQ. After this we join back Rovaniemi.

About the bear : There are about 1500 2000 brown bears in Finland. We go to a strategic point where they use to pass by. The chance to see the brown bear is near to 99%. During summer, there is the midnight sun as well, so it’s bright during the night and we can see better outside.

About the accommodation : It is a wooden cabin, in the forest. There is dry toilet, bed with sleeping bag, chairs front of the windows to have the view on the scenery.

About the hike : One of the most famous hike of Finland, with rapids, wooden bridge, into the typical lappish forest. We enjoy the experience making a BBQ for the lunch.

What to take : Water, snacks for the evening are recommended. We can’t cook into the cabin to avoid disturbing the activity of the brown bear. Perfumes and mosquitos repellent are not recommended during the bear watching activity, however, you can use the mosquitos repellent the second day during the hike. I recommend to take in case rain cloth and shoes for the hike.
