With the Backpacker Helsinki Tour, you’ll get to experience an expertly guided walk in Nuuksio or Sipoonkorppi National Park. As we tread across various lakes and a variety of landscapes, you’ll get to witness Nuuksio and Sipoonkorppi National Park’s immaculate reflection of Finland’s stunning forest - the Taïga! Along the journey, I’ll impart knowledge about the wildlife and flora of Finland. Depending on the season, you might even get the chance to pick your own berries or mushrooms! If we encounter snowy conditions, we might even get the chance to explore with snowshoes! As we pause in the Taïga, you’ll get to savour a tasty ‘Glögi’ alongside traditional Finnish biscuits. I will offer to plan an ideal trek that matches your hiking expertise. The adventure concludes with a serving of authentic Finnish soup, complete with traditional bread and a beverage, all enjoyed beside a Laavu, the Finnish fire camp!

Loved it - Definitely a highlight of my backpacking trip. It was a fun hike that david made interesting as he showed us the plants and explained what they were (even though it was too early in the season to forage berries☹️). The weather was warm enough so we got to swim in a lake. And lastly we got amazing mushroom soup (and I don't even like mushrooms).

A beautiful experience in contact with nature - Very pleasant trekking in the Nuuksio park, David was professional and kind, everything took place on time. You walk for a few hours in a lush forest, with glimpses of some lakes, the walk is satisfying without being too tiring, it is almost completely flat. A nice opportunity to be in contact with nature and get to know a beautiful side of Finland. The lunch among the trees of homemade mushroom soup was also fantastic.

Great way to spend a long layover! - Had a lovely hike in Nuuksio on a long layover in Helsinki. Was quite cold and windy that day (eventually started raining and then snowing), but in the forest, it was quite comfortable. David made us glogg and a mushroom soup with chanterelles he had foraged. He told us about the various berries that can be found in the tiaga forest, as well as different trees. We saw three lakes during the 5km hike. Pickup and dropoff from Helsinki was easy.

A Serene Walk With a Thoughtful Guide - My partner and I enjoyed a beautiful hike through the snowy taiga forest and over several frozen lakes and bogs of Nuuksio National Park. Our guide, David, was thoughtful to provide our whole tour group with traction spikes, so we didn't slip on the ice, as well as an incredible mushroom soup prepared with dried chanterelles he had foraged in the fall. We walked about 5 kilometers on a mostly flat track, besides a part where we scrambled up a ridge for a gorgeous view of the snow-covered trees. David told us about local plants and sights along the way. We definitely recommend this trip for a peaceful and not too strenuous walk through the woods!
