Additional Information

Our bear-watching day tour in the western tatras is a favourite among visitors. Observing the brown bear in its natural habitat presents a thrilling experience.

The High Tatras are filled with spots where these bears can be sighted. However, only through us and our knowledgeable guides can you safely venture into their realm!

Once we’ve fetched you from your hotel, we direct you to our start point or meet you there. Be prepared for a walk through the scenic valley. The hike covers a roundtrip of 7km each way into and out of the valley.

Today’s adventure involves visiting bear sites, observing them from a cautious distance. The shortest we’ve been from a brown bear in the Tatra mountains of Slovakia was approximately 100 meters.

The Tatra mountains house over 400 brown bears, with a steady increase in population observed. In fact, there are nearly 1000 brown bears residing in Slovakia.

Sincere, relaxed, professional, wise… - We enjoyed a very exciting bear tour, got a lot of information about nature and had the luck to see a big bear! It was a pleasure to walk with Erik and search the wilderness for deers, goats and bears! I recommend the tour to everyone who is willing to walk and open for an exciting bear experience!

Amazing experience! - The Bearwatching Hiking Day Tour was an amazing experience! Erik was a great guide and he taught us a lot about bears, other wildlife and the surrounding areas. The hike was moderately difficult, but we took lots of breaks to look for the bears and the views in the valley were very nice. We saw 1 large bear that walked around eating berries for about 20 before disappearing into the bushes. We also saw lots of deer, birds and other wildlife. Erik got photos and videos of the bear and sent it to us all after the tour. I would recommend 100%!

super bear hike - What a Great Experience!! The hike is very, very beautiful…we were very lucky and were able to see 5 bears and other beautiful wildlife (golden eagle, red deer, mountain goat). We knew it’s possible that we don’t see any wildlife/bears since this is not a zoo, so obviously we are very happy !! The hike itself is already incredibly beautiful and Erik is a super friendly host, also willing to help with tips for the area (recommended a great camping site for instance) We highly reccomend the tour !! Thanks Erik ;)

Bear watching. - Bear watching with Erik, what an adventure after three hours of walking she was in once 50m from us on the other side of the stream. A young female bear. We tracked and watched her for about 200 yards. Great. Great. Erik our guide does this excursion in small groups and knows a lot about the area, he also speaks excellent English and is very social. Overall a super experience.
