Track one of Poland's largest Mammals:
Moose Tracking Trail
Easy
7.5km
4-6 Hrs
March - July
September - November
Join us in search of Poland’s magnificent moose during a guided wildlife tracking adventure through forests and wetlands. Follow fresh tracks and signs, learning how to read the landscape as we search for these elusive giants in their natural habitat. Moose sightings are never guaranteed, but the excitement is in the tracking! Along the way, we’ll also keep an eye out for birds and other mammals. Tours last 4–6 hours, giving us the flexibility to follow the signs and spend more time in the best areas. Available during the autumn rut season (September–November) and again from March–July, when moose are particularly rewarding to look for.
(Please note: in cases of continuous heavy rain, heavy snow or storm winds, the tour does not operate for safety reasons.)
“Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the trails, and the local wildlife. He kept us updated on recent moose activity, and thanks to his guidance we were lucky enough to glimpse two bull moose moving through the forest. His friendly demeanor and native English fluency made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. The thoughtful extras really stood out, too—Ryan brought loaner binoculars (a lifesaver since I don’t travel with mine) and a flask of hot chocolate that was perfect for warming up along the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour if you’re in the area. It’s a fantastic way to see local wildlife, enjoy some peaceful nature, and take a refreshing break from the city. Highly recommended!”

Tour Details:
We explore the western side of Sobieszewo Island’s expansive forest, following woodland trails and forest tracks as we search for signs of Poland’s magnificent moose. Rather than following a fixed route, we adapt the walk to the conditions and to what we find along the way, tracking footprints, feeding signs and other clues that might lead us towards a moose.
The tour lasts roughly 4–6 hours, depending on the weather, trail conditions and, most importantly, how long it takes us to find a moose! Every day is different, so flexibility is key. Along the way, we’ll also keep an eye out for birds and other mammals that share the forest with these impressive giants.
Moose sightings are never guaranteed, but we’ll use our knowledge of the area, tracking skills and plenty of patience to give you the best possible chance of seeing one in the wild. Tours run in suitable weather conditions, although light rain or snow won’t necessarily stop us. Please dress appropriately for the forecast and wear sturdy, comfortable footwear suitable for uneven woodland trails.
And if the moose decides to remain hidden? Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of wildlife to discover along the way!
