Ronja best guide - One of the best guides I’ve ever had! Ronja was kind, knowledgeable, and always helpful. She made the hike truly special with her practical tips and positive energy. You can tell she loves what she does, and that made all the difference. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommended - A thoroughly enjoyable archipelago excursion. It was a wonderful relaxing way to experience the natural beauty of the archipelago in a short time. Lunch was simple but delicious. Thanks to Jeff’s extensive knowledge I enjoyed learning about the trees, plants, berries & mushrooms of the area. A bonus was the sighting of two moose & three well camouflaged white tail deer. Thanks to Max as well for explaining the growth cycle of deer antlers, fascinating!

Finnish Forest Adventure - Jeff and DeeDee were excellent guides. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about flora, fauna and Finish culture. The homemade lunch full of finish foods was delicious. It was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend.

An amazing day in the woods - This excursion was everything we were hoping for! We’d been in Finland for a week, and we wanted to do some hiking/some form of a nature experience. Jeff was a very friendly and informative guide. We loved our time out in the Finnish outdoors, learning about the Finnish culture, and learning the Finnish’s respect for nature. We finished our excursion with a very delicious lunch prepared over the campfire accompanied with blueberry juice - a must in Finland. We will be recommending this company and excursion to anyone we know traveling to Finland.

A spectacular and special place! - It was an incredibly special journey to the shore with a truly knowledgeable guide. Jeff was super, thoughtful, full of information, gracious, kind and so smart! I would love to forage mushrooms with him! (Plus, added bonus, lunch made by his partner Kiia was delicious!)

A well-organized trip - We participated in the organized trip to the Porkkala archipelago with typical lunch and transport to and from Helsinki. Jeff guided us into the woods and introduced us to his fruits. We were 7 people and it was a wonderful first experience that Recommendation.
