Hike in the Taiga Forest with Lunch - An excellent day trip with our warm, friendly and knowledgeable guide, Didi who made us all feel very welcome. We foraged for mushrooms and berries and enjoyed a peaceful walk through the national park forest. Didi then prepared a delicious Finnish lunch in a hut by a lake before we hiked back to our van to return to Helsinki. A really great day!

Highly reccomend! - Truly one of the most lovely tours I did on my trip! Jeff, our guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable. The hike was beautiful, and everyone could go at their own pace so I had time to take all the pictures I wanted. They also provided a vegan lunch at my request which was greatly appreciated. When I’m back in Finland I would definitely try out one of their other tours.

We were chauffeured 100km... - We were chauffeured 100km N of Helsinki to a very pleasant forest walk. I wouldn't call it a hike since it was more of a stroll perhaps due to the heat. Our guide Didi was great; she introduced many local plants, including berry picking. The food and location were great.

2nd Time Hike- Another Magical Excursion! - 2nd hike with Taiga Times! Alex was our tour guide and we had folks of all ages in our group. We did this excursion on our last trip to Finland a few years ago and the first time was indeed magical, so we knew we'd have to do it again when we returned with some of our family. Highly recommend as always!

Beautiful hike - Didi was such an enthusiastic guide! She was well informed and answered so many questions. I really enjoyed the hike. It was great to get out in nature but not overdo it. Would definitely recommend. The lunch was very nice.

- A perfect day in a Finnish forest! A really wonderful experience, our guide Ronja was excellent in every way, sharing her love of the outdoors as well as giving interesting information about the local flora and Finnish customs. Wild blueberries were growing along the trail which we enjoyed picking and eating. Ronja prepared a delicious lunch of salmon soup, rye bread, and blueberry juice, with some pulla for a sweet treat. We had a leisurely pace with not much elevation change so a very relaxing walk in the woods, thank you Ronja!!! 🌲🌲🌲

Magical indeed - Loved this quick little escape to a national park 90 minutes away from Helsinki city centre. Helsinki is already peaceful and therapeutic enough as it is, but this day trip to a Finnish forest is the cherry on top the cake. Beautiful trees, immersive experience and impressive lunch prepared by our easygoing guide Ronja. Ronja really made everything move like clockwork, from driving to guiding to preparing lunch - kudos to her for making everything look easy. This will likely be the highlight of ur Helsinki trip if you’re not planning to venture anywhere else besides the capital!

Beautiful forest hike with wild blueberries - We had an amazing time on this hike! Deedee (not sure of the spelling!) was our guide, and she explained so much about the forest and the plants in Liesjarvi. There were wild blueberry bushes EVERYWHERE—I was picking blueberries every few steps and snacking on them during the hike. The lunch that Deedee prepared was delicious—really good salmon cream soup, and she built a fire to toast the bread. This hike was one of the highlights of our two week trip in the Nordics!
