Tour the Wild Side of Sweden<\/h2>\n

While Sweden is known for its social advances and high culture, a quick glance at a map of Sweden will reveal that a major proportion of the country remains as nature originally designed it: wild and beautiful. Do not delude yourself into thinking that Sweden is a country permanently buried under the snow.<\/p>\n

With the northern-most swatch of Sweden occupying a section of the Arctic Circle, the opportunity to experience the hallucinogenic-like visuals of the Northern Lights<\/a> is available. In contrast, with the Baltic Sea skirting the southeastern corner of Sweden, there are other Sweden tours that will give you the opportunity to soak up more facets of the wild side of Sweden.<\/p>\n

However, it is not just the northern and southern edges of Sweden that offers visitors and locals alike a true natural environment. With 29 national parks<\/a> spread across this beautiful land, there are endless opportunities for nature lovers to discover the natural and wild features that are boundless in Sweden.<\/p>\n

So what kind of wildlife<\/a> might you find on one of the many Sweden tours available? Of course, Sweden is replete with moose, but that is merely scratching the surface of nature\u2019s bounty of species in this northern land.<\/p>\n

In addition to the classic Swedish moose, wildlife lovers have been thrilled to sight bear, wolverines, lynx, wild boars, arctic foxes, beavers, wolves, and otters; this is merely a partial list of the incredible wildlife to be discovered across Sweden.<\/p>\n

Your first concern may be that these many different wonders are fantastic and intriguing, but where and how does one start to get in on the wild side sights to be found in Sweden?<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s why you visit Swedish Freak! I am here to give you the inside scoop to ensure that you end up with the best possible experience by showing you the best Sweden tours you can find with the most reliable and reputable operators to be found. Yes, you will get their depth of experience and knowledge, along with perhaps the most memorable tour you will ever join.<\/p>\n

All clients have finished this tour with a deeper understanding and greater appreciation of these canines of the Swedish forest.

Meet Wild Sweden<\/h2>\n

My careful and exacting research has uncovered the most unique and personalized Sweden tours you can find in the entire country (possibly in all of Europe!). Wild Sweden has been operating for more than a decade and continues to grow in popularity, both among Swedish citizens as well as nature loving adventurers from around the world.<\/p>\n

Wild Sweden carefully structures their wildlife tours to keep them intimate and out in the middle of the very best locations that are sure to reveal creatures in their own habitats. You never have to worry about dealing with noisy crowds that drive away the very animals you wish to see undisturbed. By avoiding the popular nature areas, you also steer clear of the unwanted crowds that appear to be oblivious to their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Wild Sweden has done their homework and has arranged intimate accommodations and locations (some are even privately owned and operated), thus avoiding the crushing crowds that make you end up feeling as if the heart of nature has been converted into a public viewing zoo.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of things to do in or around Sweden. In addition to sections of Stockholm<\/a> such as Gamla Stan (their Old Town area), the other Scandinavian metropolises of Copenhagen and Oslo are easy to reach. Some of the more adventurous travelers may have heard of the ice hotel in Northern Sweden (200 km inside the Arctic Circle) where you can book a weekend for a different adventure. I agree that these destinations are worth the experience, but you will be missing out on a very special and significant part of Sweden if you do not take advantage of at least one Wild Sweden expedition!<\/p>\n

A Final Caveat<\/h2>\n

Do keep in mind that wildlife tours are unpredictable. While Wild Sweden strives to arrange each tour during the best seasons for seeing nature in action, they, of course, cannot and do not guarantee that your experience will be ideal. However, that being said, there is a reason why Wild Sweden proudly has had a more than 10-year uninterrupted streak spotting beaver and a 15-year streak encountering moose in the wild! Simply put, they know their nature and local wildlife behaviors and they love their nature-loving colleagues, so they know how to plan and time their tours for the ultimate satisfaction of their clients!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
