In May the seals are molting on the rocks throughout the day. Seals molt from the time the ice has melted for 1 month, this is usually from the beginning of May until the first week of June. In May the chance of seeing seal is 99%. After the molting season (when the seals shed their winter fur) the best time to see the seals is at sunset. At sunset it can be possible to see the seals resting on the rocks but most often we see seals in the water. On the sunset seal safaris, the chance of seeing seal is circa 50-60%.<\/p>\n<p>Our trips are seal friendly and we do not disturb the animals.<\/p>\n<p>On our lake safaris we travel with safe and fast aluminum boats that are able to land even on the rocky islands. We also have a catamaran with bow visor for easy access. All our guides have years of experience with the seal excursions and they know the best places for spotting the seals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":141508,"template":"","meta":[],"servicecategory":[1116],"actioncategory":[619],"relatedcontent":[1118],"class_list":["post-141509","visit_saimaa_product","type-visit_saimaa_product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","servicecategory-norpparetket-en","actioncategory-do","relatedcontent-saimaaholiday-oravi-en","responsible-company","product","activities","norpparetket-en","priority-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Accessible seal safari in Linnansaari National Park (PRIVATE) - Visit Savonlinna<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On this private safari you will enter deep into the national park, to the home waters of the osprey and the endangered Saimaa ringed seal.
