Taiga Forest walk - It is fantastic way to experience nature at its best, in its most pristine condition. The walk itself is pretty easy and at a gentle pace, giving plenty of scope for observing all the little plants, ant hills and massive trees, most enthusiastically named and described by Jeff. Then you get a fabulous lunch too with a lake view. What more could one want?

Magical Forest - We had an amazing tour. Jeff was our guide and he took us on an amazing hike in the park through the forest areas and lakes. He was so knowledgeable about the trees, plants, and fruits growing in the park. He also showed us mushrooms and explained the various types. And he made us an amazing linch of mushrooms soup and bread. The hike to the lake was lovely and easy for most everyone

Liking the lichen - An absolutely lovely day in the Liesjärvi National Park. The variety of moss and lichen under the tall trees was serene. Lunch was good.

Wonderful trip to Liesjärvi National Park - This was my second excursion with Taiga Times and also my second excursion with Alex as a guide during my trip to Finland. This was an amazing trip! We had a small group of four which made the experience quite personal. The meeting location was quite easy to find and the van for our drive was very comfortable. We walked at a moderate pace and Alex stopped us at various places to point out interesting things in the forest (trees, lichen, plants, fungi, camping spots etc). Alex built a fire and then prepared lunch for us in one of the huts while we had the chance to explore the area (or stay by the fire and stay warm). The soups (salmon and chanterelle) were delicious! Alex was a terrific guide who shared his knowledge of the area and showed his care for the environment shared spaces. I enjoyed having the opportunity to get outside of the city and visit a national park near Helsinki and would recommend it.

5 Stars! - The guys were great and extremely patient with my chatty 6 year old. Amazing knowledge of the local flora and fauna, and they make a mean bowl of salmon soup.

This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful excursion along mainly well kept paths although we did trek across some areas with no paths to add to our adventure. Our guide was very knowledgeable and has been hiking this area for many years. He took us to areas where controlled burns had taken place and told us about the succession of plants coming in for new growth. He took us to some bones of a deer that he has been watching for over two years now. The deer was mostly intact when he first found it and now only scattered bones are left. Our lunch was a wonderful bowl of salmon soup and bread with a pasta dessert all cooked over a campfire and all very good. He did make much effort to accommodate all food special requirements and I got the idea that he changes the menu sometimes according to guest preferences. Overall this was a wonderful excursion. It does cover several miles but the pace is very easy and we stopped often to talk about what we were seeing, so be aware that it is a physical excursion.

The Cheeta in the Tiaga - Just bring your walking shoes, double check the weather and dress accordingly. The forest and trails were absolutely beautiful. Our guide Alex was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. This was a we'll put together professional experience for me. Totally recommend it to others.
