Fabulous day trip in a Finnish National Park - What a fantastic tour. Had a wonderful day exploring Liesjärvi National Park with our guide Jeff. A perfect day trip from Helsinki. The small group size made it very personalised. Jeff was very knowledgeable, passionate and really in tune with the environment of the park and Finland in general. Jeff shared lots of treasures in the park that we would not otherwise have even noticed were there. We identified birds and examined tracks of other animals in the snow. The pace of the walk was great and the Finnish style lunch around the cosy campfire was generous and filling. All I can say is go ahead and do this tour - you won't regret it! Thanks Jeff!!

Definitely an unforgettable adventure - Despite a perceived temperature of -18 degrees, it was a super nice experience. Our Female Guide (forgotten name unfortunately) knew great about the fauna and the national park, was so nice and quiet. That you recover after this trip but and was a bit tired too equal. Can highly recommend this trip

Truly a spectacular day in nature. - Be patient. Depending on the time of year, the beauty and wonder will unfold differently for you. Our guide, Mari, was a gem. The random group drawn together that day- gracious. I can't believe my good fortune with the company I had along with weather that was absolutely breathtaking, not merely from the cold. This is not a fast-tourism experience. Being in nature is what you make of it. Come with curiosity and wonder. In this winter excursion, the snowy trail along with the bright and crisp air made us move slower, gave us time to be present and observe the gifts of the season. Do take this adventure, leave behind notions of being entertained and allow nature to bathe you in peace and wonder. A lovely activity.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience, would 100% recommend it to anyone. Our guide, Marie, was very friendly and knowledgeable and cooked a lovely hot lunch for us in the tipi. The group was small (only 8 people), thus making the experience very enjoyable. The park was also very quiet and peaceful. Very easy walking route and the scenery is stunning. Something you shouldn’t miss when visiting Finland.

A tour by Alex - The tour, expertly guided by Alex, was exceptional, a testament to his passion for his profession. Unfortunately, there was no snow during our visit due to natural circumstances. Nevertheless, the hike through the national park was truly picturesque. The lunch provided was freshly prepared on-site and was exceptionally delicious.

10/10 Would do again! - We had a 32-hour layover in Helsinki and chose to spend our day in Finland hiking through Liesjärvi National Park with Taiga Times. It was a wonderful experience! We couldn't have chosen a better adventure or better guides for the day. Jeff & Didi were thoughtful, easy-going, and very knowledgeable. They guided us through the beautiful forest where we foraged for berries, learned about the ecosystem, and had a delicious homemade Finnish lunch by campfire near the frozen lake. It was a perfect day. Next time we're in Helsinki, we'll definitely book another adventure with Taiga Times! Thanks so much for the lovely experience.
