Summer safari programme in Oulanka National Park - May to October 2008

We strongly recommend that you pre-book all your safaris as demand can be very high particularly during school holidays. Pre-booking will also allow you to better plan and budget your holiday, as we can give you a confirmed date, time and price for your safari well in advance of your departure to Finland. The following safaris are available during the summer season. Winter safaris are also available. 

All our summer safaris and activities take place in the magnificent 270 km² Oulanka National Park, about 30km north of Ruka Ski Resort.
