Description

King Eiders and the Wild North – A Journey from Lapland to Varangerfjord

19 – 25 February 2027
Norway & Finland

Photograph Arctic wildlife in the far north during the beautiful winter season. This photography tour combines floating hide sessions for spectacular King Eiders and other Arctic sea ducks in Varangerfjord with atmospheric Mountain Hare photography in snowy Arctic landscapes.

During the tour we photograph from floating hides in Båtsfjord and Kiberg, offering excellent opportunities for close encounters with King Eiders, Steller’s Eiders and Long-tailed Ducks in calm winter light. The second part of the journey focuses on Mountain Hares photographed in carefully arranged artificial light during the Arctic night.

Along the route through Finnish Lapland we also photograph Siberian Jays and Siberian Tits at a private feeding site, while Northern Lights may appear above the winter landscapes during clear evenings.

Reviews & Experiences

"Many thanks for an enjoyable tour and all your hard work to provide an amazing experience. Photographing Eagles, Sparrowhawks, Grouse and the odd Jay or two!!, the warm comfortable accommodation, the food (thanks Sunna) and all the attention to detail, which have given me unforgettable memories.

Jari and Kaisa, thanks for all your input and company, the time was over all too quickly. Looking forward to the next visit, in the not-too-distant future!"

"As the name of the tour was indicating, this tour was really amazing! Beyond any expectation! So many photo opportunities, unbelievable! Well balanced, with the focus towards the different species. As well the hotel selection was great, sometimes just a pity that we did not have the chance to enjoy the hotels even more.

Both of our guides, Jari and Kaisa, were great guides, safe drivers and very much focused to the clients! Thanks for guiding this tour!"

"I would like to thank you and your staff for the great organization of the last 4 days at Villa Finnature. I enjoyed it very much.

Not only your tangible love for the nature of Finland and its bird life – but also your professionalism and dedication in the implementation of the ‘Golden Eagle Tour’ has inspired me very much. The care of us guests was perfect.

Special thanks to Sunna, who cooked during the 4 days extremely tasty and lovingly cooked for all. It was fantastic! "

"We did a spring photography tour to Finland with Finnature last week. Week was great although very cold - -28 degrees on some mornings was not normal for this time of the year! So Black Grouse were not active. But instead, the group visited Finnature’s Forest feeder hides for Goshawk and Eagle Owl. The group told that Finnature’s Forest feeder is the best place in the world to photograph Goshawks!"
