We travel to Europe's ultimate wilderness at the best time of year for the Arctic specialities in the company of local experts. Join us in the land of the midnight sun!

Our tour aims to make the most of the fabulous bird and wildlife possibilities of this magical region. Starting with the forests and wetlands on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, we travel east to the hills of Kuusamo on the Russian border, where the birds have a distinctly Siberian quality. Here we will look for Yellow-breasted Bunting and Teak Sandpiper. Then we travel north to Ivalo, for the best of the northern taiga forest zone for Siberian Tit and Jay, and the chance for Red-flanked Bluetail. Our last stop is the open tundra and wader-rich marshes on the Norwegian border, finishing at the fabulous Varangerfjord in northeast Norway. Here we will see nesting Arctic Skua, Steller's and King Eider, and on the tundra, nesting Dotterel and Golden Plover. Our local agents, Finnature, have unrivalled local contacts in the region, who know exactly where to find the specialities, including the all-important northern owls.
