Review of Helsinki’s Nuuksio National Park hike, with forest trails, lake views, Finnish campfire food, berry juice, and small-group guiding.
“10 out of 5 stars! :) The park itself is extremely beautiful and more than worth seeing. Our guide, Nikolai, was absolutely amazing. He was kind and funny, and really did his best to connect with each guest. His knowledge of the flora, fauna, history, and legends of the area was the best of any nature tour guide we have encountered. His campfire building and cooking skills could have been their own tour—wonderful Finnish food, including ones from his own home town(s). He even played music around the campfire on really special instruments. Fantastic day—highly recommend!”
Escape Helsinki for a gentle Taiga forest hike, lakefront Finnish lunch, foraging, and easy round-trip transport to Liesjärvi National Park.
“Our hike and lunch in the national park with Alex was wonderful. Alex was very informative, kind, and helpful, including about dietary restrictions. His love of and knowledge about the natural history of Finland was very apparent. It was great to spend the day with him. I highly recommend this tour to those who love nature and want to experience something beyond the sights in Helsinki.”
Escape Helsinki for a peaceful Liesjärvi winter hike with a guide, campfire salmon soup, warm gear, and Finnish forest silence.
“This wilderness walk with Taiga Times was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of my trip. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about nature, which made the experience both relaxing and informative. We explored beautiful, peaceful landscapes and learned so much about the local wildlife, forests, and traditions. The pace was perfect, and it felt very authentic—like stepping into real Finnish wilderness rather than a tourist attraction. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves nature or wants to truly connect with the outdoors. A perfect 5-star experience from start to finish!”
