Finnature

Finnature Ltd was started in 1993, organising guided bird tours around the Liminka Bay. The company has come of age alongside its owners, as it were, steadily growing and expanding its business abroad. The company currently employs around ten top nature guides with expertise in birds, mammals and plants.

Last ten years Finnature has been offering guided wildlife photography. E.g. Golden Eagles, Owls, Grouse, Bears and Wolverines are all possible to photograph with expert guidance of Finnature guides.

Bird- and wildlife watching tours are operated in Finland, Northern Norway, Estonia and Russia mostly concentrating on foreign clients who arrive from outside Finland. The company's success is based on top quality tour leaders and respect for wildlife.
