Simply wow. Breath-taking and blood loosing experience. Probably a once in your lifetime opportunity to see wild bears really close. Their growls is impressive and it's really well done overall by the guides. Very friendly and professional and knew a lot about the bears. I feel grateful and thankful for the experience. - Thanks !

What a great experiece! I saw many bears and could make beautiful pictures. Pekka and his team are experienced, very friendly and helpful and they care for a real wildlife feeling. They don't just throw any food to the ground to attract bears, but hide the food in different places, so the bears go sniffing and searching the location for food, as is their natural behaviour. They will not get dependend on it, because it is not so much to fill them up. And another good thing: you have a bear guarantee. If you don't see any, you can go once more for free. The price is fair as well. There ist a lot of work behind running a place like that. So I highly recommend that place!

Amazing experience! We stayed for 2 whole nights to watch the bears, because we wanted to be sure to see one. During our stay we saw 9 different bears, including two mothers with cubs. We also had three lucky encounters with wolverines! The bog also has a lot of different birds species which were fun to observe when no bears were around. The hut was very comfortable and we had a great guide! I would definitely recommend Bear Kuusamo to other bear enthusiasts. Our stay here was better than what we could have hoped for! 5 stars well earned!

Olen käynyt ensin katselemassa karhuja ja sitten kuvaamassa Karhu-Kuusamolla nyt jo useita vuosia. Olen saanut seurata kymmeniä eri yksilöitä ja muutamia niistä sitä jo odottaa pitkän talven ajan, että pääsee taas näkemään. Kojujen sijainnit ovat loistavat; on suota, metsää ja vettä erilaisiksi taustoiksi. Bonuksena näkee hienoja lintuja ja keväisin mm. suokukkoja. Oppaat ovat asiantuntevia ja ihania. Koskaan ei karhutonta reissua ole ollut, kuvattaessa mieluumminkin joskus runsauden pulaa. Erittäin iso suositus tälle paikalle!

I’ve been visiting Bear Kuusamo for several years and I keep coming back. As a professional wildlife photographer, I've made my best bear shots right here. The setting is very natural with different backgrounds. Especially in the fall; colors are fantastic. Owners are very knowledgeable, and they obviously care about the bears and the wonderful Finnish nature.
