Additional Information

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!

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!

An excellent winter forest hike - It was a fantastic trip in a beautiful forest. David did a great job guiding the walk, giving us interesting information as well as time to just enjoy the scenery. I would highly recommend.

A winter walk around the national park - This was a wonderful morning hike of an area within the national park Nuusiko. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. David was a kind and friendly host who was able to accommodate our multilingual and multigenerational group. The pace of walking was brisk but this did keep us warm while we made a 5km loop around the park (at times it even started to snow). We did stop a few times to admire the lakes and have snacks and Finnish sweets brought for us by David. Overall David was a great, friendly and knowledgeable host and I recommend this quick escape into the surrounding nature (especially even in snowy conditions).

Great hiking experience in winter - Great hike in Finnish national park…several frozen lakes and snow all around…was beautiful and would highly recommend. David was a great host, shared lot of good information about the forest and abt foraging berries. He served us some really good home made mushroom soup and Glogi which was perfect in the cold weather. We had a great time!

Don’t just see the city. - I absolutely loved this tour. If you’re hesitant about going because it’s winter, it was so special. The guide is one of the loveliest people who will customise the hike to suit the group. He genuinely loves the area and will teach you all about the flora and fauna within. Winter time also brings with it the special aspect (as someone who comes from a warm climate) of walking on a few different frozen lakes. Book this tour and you’ll get a guide who goes well above expectations; preparing snacks, Glögi and homemade soup to enjoy at various points of the hike. If you want a guide who it feels like an old friend and takes you on a memorable hike, this is the tour you’re after. I’m so glad I booked it.

Beautiful way to visit another bit of Finland on limited time! - We really enjoyed the trip, and it was a great way to visit a national park with limited time in Helsinki. The half day trip was perfect for us. David was friendly and kindly waited on us as we were delayed getting to the meeting point due to travel issues. The views on the hike were amazing, although the hike was not as easy going as anticipated, but this may have partly been due to the snow. The mushroom soup & hot gloggi, which were homemade by David, were really tasty and a lovely way to warm up on a cold winter morning! Would have loved to have given 5 stars, but complimentary hotel pick-up/ drop-off was not available even though this is mentioned in the tour description. It would have been nice to have more stop along the hike as at times it felt rushed.
