Wolves are without a doubt fascinating animals that attract peoples interest more than any other wildlife in the Swedish ecosystem. Mysterious, charismatic, wild and powerful - they stir our imagination, interest and passion.

We travel together by foot and by car in small groups under skilled guidance in one of Sweden´s wolf territories. We offer big chances to hear and howl along with wolves, see tracks and feel their presence. While few people ever get the chance to actually see a wolf, many of our guests have listened to wolves' howling, and hearing a wolf pack howl in their natural habitat certainly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our tours are run in cooperation with researchers at Grimsö Wildlife Research Station. Grimsö is Sweden´s leading research center for predators such as Lynx, Brown Bear and Wolf. The tour begins with a visit to the station and a detailed lecture on Wolves by a researcher with years of experience of field work with the Scandinavian Wolf population. They share their stories and teaches us more about wolves in an exclusive in-depth lecture before we head out for our own first-hand experiences in the nearby Wolf territory.

We cook dinner together over open fire and accommodate in a canvas tipi tent with sleeping bags right in the middle of the wild and lush Wolf territory. We often get up early in the morning and scope for wildlife in meadows and fields. After a long night in the woods and a well deserved breakfast we head back to civilisation with lots of memories. Join us for this hair-raising howling adventure and learn more about this fascinating predator.
