Where Eastern bird species meet North and South

The natural environs of Kuusamo provide a highly fascinating locale for birdwatchers. A keen bird observer can spot Eastern species, more likely to be seen in Kuusamo than anywhere else in Europe. Some of these birds are only seen in Kuusamo. For some Northern species, Kuusamo is their southernmost area of occurrence. 

Bird watching and nature photography tours are organized by Kuusamo Nature Photography and Kuusamo-opisto. We've listed all of the services that can be booked online. See all activity providers >
