★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 688 reviews · 5 hours · from $66Best value

Review the Nuuksio National Park half-day trip from Helsinki, with forest trails, lakes, public transport tips, guide details, and honest value advice.

“A wonderful couple of hours hiking through the wilderness of the Nuuksio National park. Our guide Mikheil was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the landscape, the foliage, mushrooms, birds and animals on the forest. If you like nature trails then this is a must to do. This is a bit of an intensive hike with lots of climbs (I think the highest was ~340 stair steps) up and down though so at least medium level of fitness and very good knees required.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 164 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $140

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!”
