4 Half-Day Tours in Finland to Build a Winter Day Around

1.Nuuksio National Park Half-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 688 reviews · 5 hours · from $66Our pick

Review of Helsinki’s Nuuksio half-day hike, with a biologist guide, forest lakes, public transport tips, costs, trails, and practical advice.

“A wonderful couple of hours hiking through the wilderness of the Nuuksio National park. Our guide Mikheil was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the landscape, the foliage, mushrooms, birds and animals on the forest. If you like nature trails then this is a must to do. This is a bit of an intensive hike with lots of climbs (I think the highest was ~340 stair steps) up and down though so at least medium level of fitness and very good knees required.”

2.Half-Day Nature Adventure to Nuuksio National Park from Helsinki

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 95 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Trade Helsinki for Nuuksio’s lakes and boreal forest on a guided five-hour hike with public transport, small groups, and expert nature insight.

“Floating islands were very interesting. Enjoyed a nice walk in the woods and some beautiful lakes—and that gigantic ant mound! Compared to another hike we’d taken the day before, this did not have as much to see/learn in terms of flora or a variety of terrains because the park is much further north.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s local reindeer farm tour, with a 2km sleigh ride, feeding, warm clothing, snacks, pickup, and edited photos.

“This reindeer experience was unreal and so much fun! The sleigh ride through the snowy forest was incredibly peaceful and truly felt magical. Getting to feed and pet the reindeer afterward was such a special moment and made the experience even better! Everything was well organized and memorable from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
