The Ultimate Predator Finale

2025 Dates: October 15th - 21st (2 Spaces Remaining) | Guide: Kyle Moore | Location: Finland | Cost: £2,495.00

Bears, Wolves, Wolverines and Eagles…

This is our final trip of the year and you could say we’ve saved the best till the last. On this epic adventure, we will spend 5 days in purpose-built wildlife photography hides strategically placed in ‘no man's land’ itself. Only the predators call this land home.

Mid-October and the days are getting ever-shorter, as we shift our usual pattern of entering the hides, choosing to shoot throughout the day to maximise the beautiful low autumnal light. For many years now the Wolves in this area have reproduced and the current pack is going strong. With bold group dynamics amongst the pack, we’re guaranteed to witness some incredibly unique wildlife photography opportunities, that quite literally nowhere else on earth can offer.

In the evenings we will enjoy delicious home cooked meals at our wilderness cabin, followed by freshly baked desserts warm from the oven. We have this beautiful cabin exclusively to ourselves, and each evening we can enjoy the facilities including the sauna, lakeside hot tub and a grill house where we can enjoy food and warm drinks around the campfire. If conditions are favourable, this time of year offers an excellent opportunity to observe the Aurora borealis as it dancing across the boreal skyline. Both the hide area and our basecamp are situated in some of the most wildest, remote corners of Northern Europe, where only wildlife call this land home. This really is a premium wildlife photography experience and one that quite literally, nowhere else on earth offers such opportunities to observe Bear, Wolf, Wolverine, White-tailed, and Golden Eagles on the same day.

Base Camp

Our base for this trip is a stunning rustic wilderness lodge located in the heart of the Boreal forest. This location is quite possibly the only place on Earth where one can observe Bear, Wolf, Wolverine and Eagles together.

  • We will arrive on an afternoon flight via Helsinki, where you will be met by your guide. A 2-hour transfer will follow, taking us to our chosen basecamp where we will be based for the duration of the tour. Dinner is prepared for our arrival. After dinner the guide will deliver a short presentation detailing the week ahead. Our first night will be spent resting in our accommodation, after a day of traveling.

  • Breakfast will be served around 08:30, followed by a period of free time to spend as you wish. During this time we have the ideal opportunity to explore the surrounding areas or take advantage of the pre-set bird feeding area outside our accommodation. Here we have a whole host of species visiting such as; Bull Finch, Siberian Jay, Crested tits and off course the ever comical Red Squirrels. The surrounding area is set amongst the beautiful Boreal Forest, which you are most welcome to explore with no access restrictions.

    Around noon we will prepare for the upcoming hide sessions. Before this we will have the opportunity to make sandwiches and prepare hot drinks for the hide. We will then embark to the hide area by vehicle, driving the rugged forest roads into the depths of no mans zone where we will be positioned in our purpose build spacious hides. Now it is simply a case of getting set up, comfortable and waiting for the first wildlife to appear. Although we will not be sleeping inside the hides, each is equipped with basic facilities such as bunkbeds and toilets.

    Around dusk, we will make our way back to base, again by vehicle, where upon arrival we will be greeted with a homely cooked meal and freshly baked desert. The following days will all run in a similar pattern.

  • This is the final day of the trip. Breakfast will be served slightly earlier to allow us ample time to make the transfer back to our chosen airport ready for our onward flights home.
