Nature Tour (2 to 3 hours)
We'll start in a Deciduous forest--filled with birch, aspen, maple, and aldar--and walk towards and explore a Taiga forest--filled with pine and spruces. As we walk along, you'll notice the forest becoming increasingly quieter, and you may even see:
- Roe (native)
- White-tailed deer (invasive)
- Fox (native)
We'll also explore the various rewilding and conservation projects taking place, including a spruce-bog.

Special Tours
Group Size: 2-4
Night Moves Tour (2 to 3 hours):
[The dark hours mid-September to mid-May]
As Finland experiences long nights during the winter months, you don't have to hibernate like a bear. When the sun goes down, the forests become quiet and the wildlife emerge, this is for those who want to experience the forest in peace.
Twilight Tour (2 to 3 hours):
[The twilight hours 11pm to 6am mid-May to mid-September]
We'll walk along forest paths in perpetual twilight, see the Taiga forest as a cathedral of tall trees above our heads in serene quiet.
We'll walk along a river, sit for awhile to listen to its rapids.
You may even see:
- Roe (native)
- White-tailed deer (invasive)
- Fox (native)
An incredibly unique experience, where metsämieli expresses its full meaning.
