Sample Adventure Itinerary
Day 1: Kajaani. Meet our Helsinki guest relations team at Vantaa International airport who facilitate your transfer to Kajaani in the Kainuu region of north east Finland; here you meet your guides and instructors. We overnight in local 5 star accommodation.
Day 2: Taiga Forest. A morning brief for the adventures ahead, review locations, routes and equipment; today we enter the taiga forests and start hiking, up to 20km, through this verdant wilderness abundant with wildlife. We show you how to live off the land, collecting berries, mushrooms (chanterelles, truffles etc) en route. We dine al fresco and provide opportunities for lake swimming. The end of the day brings us to a local farmstead where we spend the evening enjoying the “midnight sun” and activities provided by our host family.
Day 3: Bear country. Continuing our trek through the taiga forests, up to 15km, we head towards bear country, through national park spanning the Russian border; on reaching one of the local supply routes, we drive to the wildlife centre and prepare to overnight in the specially located bear hides. In place by 6pm there is plenty of light to observe the wild brown bears, in their natural habitat, as they rummage around your hide looking for food.
