Helsinki: Archipelago Exploration At Porkkalanniemi Peninsula

Great day with Patricia! Porkkalanniemi was absolutely stunning — peaceful forests, dramatic rocky shores, and endless Baltic views. The scenery alone is worth the trip, but our guide, Patricia, made it truly exceptional. Her knowledge and storytelling, turned a beautiful location into one of the most memorable experiences of my time in Finland. Highly recommend. Thanks Patricia!!!

An amazing day walking through the woods and enjoying the nature. A delicious campfire lunch with the backdrop of the Baltic Sea . All thanks to Patricia who is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, careful driver and a great cook

It’s a good half day trip where you get out and enjoy nature but still have time to do other stuff too! Totally worth it.

Excellent hike through the National Park with beautiful views of the Baltic Sea. Our guide prepared an excellent finish campfire lunch.

It was a great trip. Guide Patricia was very welcoming, great guide showing us all kinda if berries, explaining everything. The group was small which was just perfect. Delicious food Patricia made. So overall a fantastic trip with a great landscape and we saw a couple of deers.

We had a great hike with Patricia. Sie had very much interesting informations about Finnland and the sourrounding area we we were in. Also she cooked a great delicious finnisch meal on the Fire for us, and there were salmiakki and gingerbread too. Espacially the diamond shaped Salmiakki were great. The nature was stunnigly beautiful. We went also on a Tower for Bird watching and we saw many deers. Also small ones very close by. We would book the tour everytime again. Thanks to Patricia!

Great fun, easy hike through stunning scenic forest to the beautiful Baltic coast. Minimal climbing so very accessible for all. Our tour guide Szabi was so friendly & knowledgeable and cooked us a delicious camp fire lunch. Highly recommended trip.

My family and I had such a great time! We are very outdoorsy people, and Szabi and Emma were very knowledgeable about the flora around where we toured. We had fun while also learning a lot, and exploring the rocks at the edge of the sea was our favorite part. The snacks in the middle were awesome, and the tour was the perfect length for us to have fun and not get too tired out. We had a group of six with two guides, and our guides were kind and easy to talk to. Szabi helped my grandma along when we had rough terrain, and Emma was a great conversation partner and was very helpful with navigating and cooking. We had so much fun!!

This was a truly magical experience! Our guide was kind, so nice and knowledgeable! The tour took us through splendidly beautiful landscapes. It wasn’t too difficult to walk by and the surroundings were stunning! The lunch by the campfire was such a treat, with local and tasty food! A truly delightful Finnish experience!

This was hands down, THE BEST TOUR EVER! My mom and I ended up being the only ones on it and Patricia was our guide. She was absolutely the best guide we've ever had! I've been to multiple countries and done numerous tours. She was wonderful in communication, making sure we were going at a good pace and the food was great! Patricia was very knowledgeable and well traveled herself which made for excellent conversation. The scenery was so incredible and it was nice to get out of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone and I would not hesitate to book a different tour if she is our guide!

Nikolai went above and beyond. He was an excellent tour guide! He shared interesting information about the flora and fauna of the peninsula as well as its historical significance. He was very kind and patient with my 85 year old mother in law. We walked at a gentle pace so that she could enjoy the walk. In addition, we had a wonderful lunch near a cozy fire on a very windy day. We highly recommend this tour and the guide!

Definitely learned a lot about Finland and the Finnish culture. Learned to appreciate the natural environment in Finland. A beautiful hike and very pleasant experience.

This was a great tour! Our guide, Nikolai, was great - knowledgeable and personable. The trail was beautiful and we enjoyed learning more about native species and Finland, generally.

Excellent hiking tour very friendly informative guide. Great campfire lunch and gentle 5k trail. Highly recommend these small tour trips expertly organised in the beautiful Finnish country side a short trip from pick up in central Helsinki.

We were in Helsinki on a cruise ship and deliberately decided to take a trip into nature. Szabi is an excellent guide who knows how to impart a lot of interesting information about the flora and fauna at Porkkalanniemi peninsula to his guests. Under his guidance, we discovered beautiful places that we would never have found without him. There was enough time for photo stops and individual leisure time. The absolute highlight of the trip was a picnic around the campfire with delicious Finnish specialties. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and can only recommend it to everyone. Thank you Szabi for this fantastic day and continued success with your company!

Spent a few days in Helsinki in March 2025, and decided to take this trip to explore some of the nature around the Helsinki-area. Despite loving the charm of Helsinki, this trip was by far the highlight of my entire trip! Our guide was friendly and keen to share knowledge about the flora and fauna of the area, local history and Finnish folklore. I know for sure that I'll book another tour with these guys when I return to Finland.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Szabo, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He took great care of our group, especially my husband when he needed to take a break and rest. We loved learning about the forest and the chance to appreciate the natural beauty of Finland. The stop for a campfire and Finnish treats was a bonus. Would highly recommend!

Meeting point was a little confusing but we managed to meet up with the van . Atrocious weather for June on the day but fortunately when we arrived at the reserve it started to ease off with the rain . Hike was excellent and campfire snack was tasty . Peaceful rewarding experience albeit a little expensive.

Such a beautiful day out! The hike was lovely, views were gorgeous and overall a relaxing experience. Our guide, Nikolai, was great! He was knowledgeable about plant life and told us so much about Finnish life, language and culture. The campfire lunch was lovely. They were kind enough to provide a vegan option for me, which was very appreciated (and tasty!). Highly recommend!

Easy walking through superb countryside. Nik gave interesting commentary along the way - and cooked lunch. Great time.

Nikolai was a delightful leader of excursion. He was informative and good humoured. The trip was a walk through coastal forest with side diversions to viewpoints over the sea and nearby islands. The pace of walking was fine although walkers need to be able- bodied and confident on uneven and sometimes rocky ground. Lunch was provided and we sat overlooking a stunning seascape. The pickup point is about 10 mins from main train station. It was a comfortable drive to the park. I would highly recommend this excursion

We had an amazing experience with Sabi, a knowleageble, nice and fun guide who gave us plenty of information, folklore and stories. A great wakk by the seaside, dinner by the fire, plenty of moose and deers, perfect lenght.

The guide was very friendly and informative. I enjoyed learning about Finland through nature and the guide. I also enjoyed the snacks around the fire. This was my favorite activity during my trip!

Amazing experience. The guide was great giving great insights and showing us amazing views all around. Lovely experience. Definitely recommend.

Lovely experience. It was beautiful tour, great guide, amazing views. Definitely recommend. Would love to be back and do a longer tour

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.

Comfortable hike and nice views of the coastline. Includes a nicely light cooked BBQ meal. Recommended tour, outside of the city.

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!

Great Tour!! This was the best tour I took from Helsinki and I highly recommend it. Breathtaking sights, smoth ride,expert tour guide - what do you want mor ? Ah yes : Great weather :-), too.

Szabi, our guide, was stellar!! We climbed a fire tower for a panoramic view of the porkkalaniemi region. We enjoyed a relaxing, fun hike along the trails and Baltic Sea . We saw giant white swans and completely enjoyed a treat of wood-fired meat pies, berry juice and cookies. A perfect adventure to learn the lifestyle and beauty of southern Finland! Thank you!!

Beautiful views, great guide and a nice lunch cooked over a fire. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

The excursion was everything we had hoped and more. Many thanks to our guide Szabi who was terrific - knowledgeable, personable and helpful, and made us lovely lunch. The whole hike was beautiful but the views of the Baltic Sea and various islands were breathtaking, calming and peaceful. Lunch cooked over an open fire and homemade berry juice was an extra treat. And we were fortunate to get great weather and a really nice group of fellow travelers! Highly recommended by both me and my 14-year-old son.

I really enjoyed the tour we did it early August the blueberries were still plentiful and the lingonberries are just starting to ripen. The hike was moderate and wonderful very scenic. Our guide was knowledgeable and attentive. Small group made it wonderful as well as we all got along wonderful the weather early August was great highly recommend

The guided tour was amazing. We were led to a beautiful scenic views of the archipelago while passing by the forest. Szabi was very knowledgeable about the varieties of berry plants, rock structures, history and facts in the area. We were also served a Finnish snack which was delicious and a berry juice. We have completed the trekking with being close to nature, enjoying and appreciating every minute of it. I find this tour extremely wonderful, relaxing and a great experience.

Great experience! Lovely hike, snacks and time spent outside the city. Highly recommend, don't hesitate to book. We had a nice hike, beautiful views, learned about Finish culture, identify berries and plants as well as had some Finish snacks and berry juice.

We had an amazing time! Our guide was incredibly kind and knowledgable. The hike was absolutely gorgeous. Also the food provided was a wonderful addition as well. We learned so much and had a ton of fun. Would totally recommend!!

This tour was FANTASTIC and Szabi was an excellent host. Pickup was easy, small group setting had great vibes, and the location itself was majestic. So many great photo spots, awesome wild blueberries, incredible homemade juice from Szabi, and just an all around great time. Would easily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Helsinki who’d like to get a glimpse outside the city.

It was a gentle walk and we ate one too many fruits of the forest. Our guide was cool. Nice lunch cooked by the fire was highlight.

I took two excursions with Szabi as a guide. The tours were well organized. Szabi was knowledgeable and a great host. The scenery and the photos are spectacular. Highly recommend if you need a day to get away from Helsinki.

Wonderful experience, beautiful views, guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The pace was just right, small group (4total), good food at the end. Quiet and peaceful setting.

The hike into the archipelago was just right ! the Finnish sandwiches were excellent and so was our guide Szabi!

We really enjoyed our experience, especially after lucking out with perfect weather and beautiful views! Szabi was an amazing guide and the campfire snacks he provided us were super tasty! Also loved how the photos he took of us turned out! There weren't a ton of people out and about so our hike felt very private, so we really got to take in the nature around us. Everything about this tour ran smoothly. Highly recommend!!

Our guide Sami took us via car to the countryside and filled us with useful information. The hiking was great and just about 3 h in total. He took great photos and the lunch was very good. I would totally do it again and recommend it to my friends.

Szabi was a fantastic guide. He gave us lots of info about Finnish nature and took us to some beautiful spots. The campfire snack was also a highlight and we've just received some very professional photos from our hike. Thank you Szabi!

The hike was beautiful and Szabi was a wonderful guide. This was the highlight of my trip to Helsinki -- highly recommended!
