Sealsafaris and wildlife watching in Linnansaari National Park in Lake Saimaa

Oravi village is the Seal Center of Saimaa
Oravi village has been a center for seal watching and research for decades due to the perfect location in the middle of the best seal waters.

The main seal season (the molting season) is in May
In June-September we arrange seal watching trips in the evening.

On our seal safaris you get to know the world’s most endangered seal that can be found only in lake Saimaa. We watch the animals from a distance and make sure we do not disturb the seals. During the molting season we can see the seals throughout the day. From June until September the best time to see the seals is at sunset.

We also have accessible safari boats!
