15 – 25 February 2025 – Hokkaido, Japan
Experience the magic of Hokkaido
Hokkaido – beautiful wintery island that offers great photography opportunities. Amazing numbers of very approachable birds can be found. It is almost unbelievable how many Steller’s Sea Eagles and White-tailed Eagles you can see at the same time or how close to Whooper Swans you can get!
Birds are the main target of this tour but also the landscapes in north Japan are like a fairytail. Imagine Whooper Swans in the misty lake, mountains in morning light or simple Japanese trees in the middle of the fields. All this makes Hokkaido a very popular destination amongst photographers.
Experience also Japanese culture with extremely polite people, wonderful food and onsens (Japanese bath). Something you will never forget!
