Embark on an exploratory day trip into the heart of a pristine Finnish national park, a haven for foragers. This journey promises adventure, knowledge, and delectable culinary experiences.

Commence your guided trip from Helsinki, delving deep into the woods and the enchanting realm of fungi. Witness the forest floor set ablaze with hues of bright orange, golden yellow, and deep red as we go after Finland’s most sought-after and tastiest edible mushrooms, the chanterelle.

As the name suggests, it’s indeed a hunt! Not always are we guaranteed to find what we quest for, and while most mushrooms pose no harm, some can be lethal. Rest assured, your guide will be at hand to guide you through the edibles and will be always ready to enlighten you about the diverse fungi you encounter.
