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.”

5.Nuuksio National park hiking with campfire lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 164 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $139

Review of Helsinki's Nuuksio National Park hike, with lakes, forest trails, Finnish campfire food, berry juice, transport, and expert guides.

“10 out of 5 stars! :) The park itself is extremely beautiful and more than worth seeing. Our guide, Nikolai, was absolutely amazing. He was kind and funny, and really did his best to connect with each guest. His knowledge of the flora, fauna, history, and legends of the area was the best of any nature tour guide we have encountered. His campfire building and cooking skills could have been their own tour—wonderful Finnish food, including ones from his own home town(s). He even played music around the campfire on really special instruments. Fantastic day—highly recommend!”

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.”
