Reisende kan bli med erfarne guider på elgsafari for en sjanse til å se disse praktfulle dyrene i deres naturlige habitat. Guidene har kjørt denne 5-timers turen i over 20 år og kjenner de beste områdene å lete etter på sommerkveldene når elgen er mest aktiv. Etter henting drar guidene ut i avsidesliggende villmarksområder med varebil, og holder øye med elg ved skogsveier og stier. Når de oppdager en, stopper de for å la besøkende beundre elgen ved å bruke kikkert og ta bilder og videoer av disse ikoniske europeiske pattedyrene. Den lille gruppestørrelsen sikrer at alle får flott utsikt. Som Finlands største landdyr og symboler på landets ville områder, er det å observere elg på nært hold et naturmøte som ikke bør gå glipp av når du besøker Lappland. Interesserte reisende kan kontakte guidene for å sjekke priser og avreisedatoer for denne elskede dyrelivsutflukten.
