Located in the northern wilderness, close to Lapland and Russia, Karhu-Kuusamo is one of the best places for bear watching in Finland. Here you can catch these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. With a 99% guarantee of spotting bears, you'll be in for an unforgettable experience.

From mother bears with cubs to multiple visitors at Kuntilampi's "Bear pond," it's a chance to get up close and personal with Finnish nature. So, grab your camera and get ready for an adventure like no other!

Side note: Although I really liked spotting bears at this location, if you have the chance (and budget) go more south and stay at the Bear Centre for an unforgettable bear watching experience. You can sleep between the bears and watch them from your bed in luxury cabins. It's was seriously one of the BEST things I ever got to experience.
