What you can expect

Experience the lake nature and observe wildlife with a local photographer. Discover the National Urban Park of Savonlinna, which consists of 7,700 hectares of land and water around the medieval castle Olavinlinna.

Lake Saimaa is the home range of the Saimaa ringed seals. The only existing population was estimated to be approximately 430 individuals in June 2022. The Saimaa ringed seals (Pusa hispida saimensis) are among the most endangered seals in the world. In addition to the seals, you may see ospreys and waterbirds.

On this photography tour, drive with a local photographer to the best observation areas in the archipelago of Lake Saimaa and wait to see and photograph seals without disturbing them. Find seals sitting on rocks digesting their food, resting, and socialising.

Your guide will help you to spot wildlife and give you tips on how to get the best wildlife photographs. If you are more interested in landscape photography, the Saimaa archipelago offers great opportunities for that, too.
