Lapland to Varangerfjord: Bird & Wildlife Photography from Taiga to Tundra
7 – 14 April 2026 – Finland and Norway
Experience the stillness of snow and the wild pulse of Arctic life on this exclusive early spring photography tour. From the quiet forests of Finnish Lapland to the seabird cliffs of Varangerfjord, every moment is crafted for breathtaking encounters and uforgettable images. We begin in Lapland, where soft light and snowy landscapes frame serene moments with Siberian Jays, Pine Grosbeaks and - if luck is with us - Northern Hawk Owls or Willow Grouse along the roadsides. Crossing into Norway, we dive into dramatic action of Varanger: four days based in Vardo packed with hide sessions, fjord-side landscapes and boat trips to iconic Hornoya island. Highlights on this tour are many from King Eider, Steller's Eider and Common Eider, Atlantic Puffins, Common Guillemots and Kittiwakes, to Arctic Fox and even Aurora Borealis dancing above the Arctic. Every element - from hides to boats - is pre-booked and locally optimised, ensuring you are always in the right place at the right time for the shot.
