Magical walk though an enchanting forest not far from Helsinki - mosses, lichens, great trees, sea views, great boulders and a local lunch with wild berry juice. Easy grade hike - hiking pole was handy but not mandatory

Szabi took us on a very interesting and lovely guided walk through forests filled with moss and lichen - and installation artworks (which was a surprise - and a delight). Getting to the walk was very easy - traffic was nonexistent and we were in forest country inside 20 minutes. After 1 hour we arrived and were guided through an easy grade of walk. I took a hiking pole which was handy for scrambling over some of the larger granite boulders. The views of the coast were lovely and the trees provided dappled light to enjoy the hiking trail. I saw deer and an eagle and many mushrooms, lichens, ferns and trees of note. The small lunch with berry juice was very welcome and a taste of local life was enjoyed. I would recommend this trip for those wanting a unique bit of nature to be enjoyed in a calm environment. Szabi was friendly and was a good guide.

I had a fantastic time on this tour with Szabi. He's very knowledgable about the region, the history, the geography and wildlife. Wonderful area to explore by the water and a hike. Thank you!

There was just myself and one other visitor on this walk through the forest. However, we had an good time in almost perfect weather. The hike was not all strenuous leading to quite spectacular views once we reached the bay. Our guide was very friendly and informative and cooked us a small and delicious lunch on the grill as we were left to explore on our own for about 30 minutes.
I would highly recommend this tour.

This was such an excellent way to spend a day exploring the nature of Finland. It was go at your own pace, which made for a very leisurely stroll. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the local foliage and it was so much fun to eat berries straight off the branch. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Helsinki!
