10/10 Would do again! - We had a 32-hour layover in Helsinki and chose to spend our day in Finland hiking through Liesjärvi National Park with Taiga Times. It was a wonderful experience! We couldn't have chosen a better adventure or better guides for the day. Jeff & Didi were thoughtful, easy-going, and very knowledgeable. They guided us through the beautiful forest where we foraged for berries, learned about the ecosystem, and had a delicious homemade Finnish lunch by campfire near the frozen lake. It was a perfect day. Next time we're in Helsinki, we'll definitely book another adventure with Taiga Times! Thanks so much for the lovely experience.

Great Day Trip to See Nature Outside of Helsinki - This was a great day trip outside of the city. The pickup and dropoff was easy. It was quite cold (as you would expect in January) but it ended up being very nice despite that (layer up!). The national park was beautiful and the hot salmon soup cooked over a fire was perfect!

Excellent trip to refresh the soul - Did this trip today . What can I say it totally lived up to all my expectations. Taigo tours were excellent and really took care of us throughout the whole trip , providing snow boots ( even though I had my own they advised they weren’t high enough ) the snow was deep , socks and a hiking stick . Great experience walking through the beautiful forest where they shared their knowledge of the local flora and fauna. We walked to a picnic site where they shared a beautifully prepared lunch of salmon soup and rye bread around a lovely toasty fire and a special cake . We hiked back via the frozen lake . The stillness and quietness of the forest was amazing. Get yourselves out of Helsinki and experience this amazing trip . Truly unforgettable experience and one I will remember for a long time . Great hosts , great day what more can I say

Great experience - I really enjoyed the national park. The lake and trees were fantastic and very beautiful. The salmon soup I had for lunch, the cinnamon rolls for snacks, and the drinks were all delicious. I was able to try the food that you should experience in Finland! If I have the chance again, I'd love to join the summer national park tour! Thank you to our tour guide Alex.

Don’t think…do it! - An amazing snowy day out in the forest with the best guide, Jeff. He matched the calm and stillness of the forest, whilst demonstrating his knowledge and enthusiasm with much aplomb. An easy engaging small group walk with a very delicious freshly prepared lunch. Yums!
