Highly recommended - This tour is a must! The hike was spectacular, with amazing views and Jeff is very knowledgeable which made it also educational. The Finnish sauna is definitely worth doing and whilst the Lake was pretty cold in October you still have to give it a go. The food Jeff cooked on the hike was also great and quite filling. This was a great day out and I'd definitely recommend it. If we come back to Helsinki we'll be doing it again.

Hiking and sauna were great! - It was my first time to participate, but the Guides were friendly, knowledgeable about mushrooms, and attentive to everything. Especially the sauna, dive into the sparkling lake from the wood sauna! It was the best experience I have ever had in Japan. I also got to know the people I joined and it was a great experience! Thank you very much.

Extraordinary Experience - The grey, rainy day did not dampen the adventurous spirit of our group of eight from four different continents. Sturdy raincoats were available for all. Our hike through the forest identifying and gathering mushrooms was both delightful and informative. Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and all the various mushrooms. Jeff actually cooked the mushrooms we gathered along with a hearty lunch. The sun broke through as we hiked back for the smoke sauna. The sauna was outrageously hot and the lake plunge outrageously cold but to our surprise absolutely exhilarating! We are in our 70’s and found the "National Park Hike & Finnish Smoke Sauna Experience with Campfire Lunch" extraordinary! Thank you Jeff and Kiia, Carpe Diem!

10/10 - I had an absolute blast. Must do if you’re visiting Helsinki. The hike, foraging for mushrooms, the lunch, sauna, and swim were all amazing. I couldn’t have done this on my own. Our guide was knowledgeable and the group was fun. Thank you!!

Walk in The Forrest - We’re in the Nordic countries from Australia touring regions and cities. Helsinki was a little tricky in our schedule but we wanted to get out of the city and experience some of the forests because they are so important to Finland. Fortunately our travel agent hooked us up with Jeff and Taiga Times. We had no idea what to expect but tonight we are sitting back in our hotel room in Helsinki and both saying..’what a great day!’. Our group was small and personal, we never lost contact with the information being passed at any point. Jeff’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the forest and what it contains. The lunch BBQ was something else, simple fair, maybe situational, but excellent. Jeff even added fresh porcini mushrooms to lunch that we’d collected on the trail..that’s hard to top. A stop at the traditional wood heated spa with inter dispersed dips in the 11 degree lake just to remind you you’re alive to finish the day and a short drive back to Helsinki! Just do it…get out of the city for the day..enjoy Finland. Thanks Jeff.🇦🇺

Experience Finland - We had a wonderful time! Alex was the best and provided an experience of Finland in a day. He was so knowledgeable about the forest, mushrooms and shared the Finnish culture. We learned so much, had a wonderful lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the sauna and getting in the lake. He was very accommodating and gracious. A must do tour.

Wonderful nature and relaxation - Immersing yourself in the beautiful Finnish nature was wonderful. Trees, silence and peace. Lovely colors and light. The guy who guided us competent, kind and helpful. I could not use the sauna and the bath in the lake but this did not deprive me of the feeling of well-being for the lived experience.
