The Alutaguse luxury bear hides offer an excellent opportunity to watch bears and other wildlife from luxury conditions<\/strong>. In addition to the brown bears, the hides are frequently visited by raccoon dogs<\/strong>, occasionally by moose<\/strong>, badgers<\/strong>, wild boars<\/strong>, roe deer<\/strong>, and rarely by wolves <\/strong>and lynxes<\/strong>, as well as numerous bird species<\/strong>. Alutaguse is considered the bear stronghold of Estonia, as nearly half of the country\u2019s approximately 1,000 bears<\/strong> inhabit the forests and wetlands of this region. Our hides are located in the western part of Alutaguse, near the Sirtsi Bog, just a 1.5-hour drive from Tallinn or Tartu.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lux Bear Hide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

is designed for those who appreciate luxury and high quality<\/strong>. It is also perfect for nature lovers who want to spend life\u2019s special moments in a unique way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the luxurious hide, you can observe bears through a floor-to-ceiling mirrored window<\/strong>, even while lounging on a spacious double bed<\/strong>. The elegant interior<\/strong>, crafted from high-quality materials, is inspired by the surrounding nature<\/strong>, creating the feeling of being immersed in the wildernes<\/strong>s while still enjoying a secure and luxurious retreat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is like a fully equipped hotel suite<\/strong> in the heart of nature among bears<\/strong>, featuring a large double bed, comfortable chairs, a table, a shower<\/strong>, a refrigerator, a toilet, and other amenities for an exclusive getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lux Hide is primarily designed for couples, but if needed, it can accommodate an additional 1 people with an extra bed and 1 small child can sleep with mom and dad in a big double bed.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":" Night in the Brown Bear and wildlife watching Luxury hide\n Our guide taking you to the hide\n Electricity, running water, shower and toilet (WC)\n Sleeping with hotel-style bedding\n Snacks and drinks in the hide","cost_excludes":" Transport to the meeting point","itineraries":[{"title":"Going to the hide watching wildlife","content":"\n

You\u2019ll meet our guide at the given meeting point and walk with him\/her to the hide. There you\u2019ll stay for the night. The walk to the hide is about 0,4 km. If you have any questions, feel free to ask our guide. He\/she will also make you a quick tour inside the hide, explaining what you should take notice of and how to act in the hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After arriving in the hide, you can first set up everything for the evening and night and then start calmly watching and waiting. Usually, birds are the first ones who arrive. Often the most interesting period begins about an hour before the sunset, but at times, animals can appear much earlier. Every stay and experience is different. It\u2019s possible to observe wildlife through the night because there are some faint lights under the forest canopy on one side of the hide.<\/p>\n"},{"title":"Leaving the hide","content":"\n

Early morning after the sunrise is also an active time in nature. Sometimes the most interesting observations happen during the early hours and you should be espesically alert if the Brown Bears did not show themselves in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If no animals are around, you should leave the hide at 8 AM. The route back to the meeting point is the same one you took last evening.<\/p>\n"}],"faqs":[],"is_featured":false,"featured_image":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/7139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/trip"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/7139\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7142,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip\/7139\/revisions\/7142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destination?post=7139"},{"taxonomy":"activities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activities?post=7139"},{"taxonomy":"trip_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip_types?post=7139"},{"taxonomy":"difficulty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/difficulty?post=7139"},{"taxonomy":"trip_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/activest.natourest.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trip_tag?post=7139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
