    Saimaa Ringed Seal Watching Safari with wooden boat

    Daily safaris in Linnansaari National park to see the Saimaa ringed seals. Daily at 10am from May until August.

    2 hours and 30 minutes

    Easy

    Description

    Guided seal excursion

    The Saimaa Ringed Seal is an endangered species that lives only in Lake Saimaa. While the beginning of the summer tends to be the best time to spot the seal (as they can often be seen laying on the rocks), with the expertise of our professional guides, you’ll have a good chance of seeing the seal anytime during the open water season.  

    Our Saimaa Ringed Seal Watching Safari’s wooden boat moves slowly and smoothly through the waters of Linnansaari National Park, seeking out the secret hiding places where our beloved Saimaa Ringed Seals live. Along the way, we will also have the opportunity to observe Osprey nests and other birds.


    Duration n. 2,5 hours. The trip is suitable for all.

    Daily departures at 10.00 (15.5.-14.7.) and at 18.00 (15.7.-31.8.)

    A guided tour (in Finnish/ English), with coffee and snacks provided.
