Project Description

Experience the magic of the endless summer nights in Northern Finland!

Join us on an unforgettable photo adventure through the wilderness of Kuusamo and Kuhmo. In Kuhmo, you’ll get a chance to capture stunning images of elusive Brown Bears, Wild Wolves and Wolverines.

In Kuusamo, we’ll discover breathtaking landscapes bathed in the soft, golden glow of the midnight sun—the famous “yötön yö” light that creates a perfect atmosphere for nature and landscape photography. We’ll also enjoy a special birdwatching tour in the Kuusamo area. You’ll also have the chance to photograph rare and protected plants and flowers. The midnight sun offers beautiful light, perfect for photography!

The tour takes place during the midnight sun period, so we can shoot late into the evening or early in the morning. There is plenty of soft, natural light to inspire your creativity!

This tour offers you the chance to experience the very best of northern nature!
