Hi All
Following a shortlisting of bucket list destinations, I am seriously considering Finland next Summer as one of three options. There are of course a number of well-known downsides including the need to go with a group / local guide, high cost overall, and modest number of new birds; that said it won't get any cheaper going forward so I might have to just bite the bullet...
There appears to be quite a difference in 1) tour dates (May vs June) and 2) overall costs from the small number of published 2024 tours that I have looked at, so am feeling a bit stuck at this point. Can I reach out to you wonderful people for some help please on your recommendations on dates (species availability, when does the midge / mosquito season start? etc) and your tour operator of choice - I am happy to consider smaller boutique companies but need some help based on your experiences or word of mouth
Many thanks as always!
