Full description
If you’re planning a visit to Helsinki, be sure to include a half day for a trip to Nuuksio National Park, located within the boundaries of greater Helsinki. It takes about an hour and a half by public transportation to reach the park from the city center. You’ll be met in the center of Helsinki, and travel by commuter train to Espoo center and then take a local bus to the park entrance. The park is ranked among the top 10 nature attractions in Finland and is a must-see. To get the most from your visit, it’s best to let an experienced guide and professional naturalist lead the way. Enjoy the scenic beauty of the tall coniferous or mixed forest, with trees growing around enormous primeval rocks, in an area that’s rich with mosses and ferns. You’ll come across numerous small forest lakes, and you can stop to enjoy a swim. The forest is inhabited by various animals, including such rare species as the Siberian flying squirrel, found in Europe only in Finland and Estonia. With your biologist guide you’ll trek through the tall forest, learn about the natural features of Finland, enjoy scenic views, and hopefully spot some wildlife.

We had a nice trip with our guide Michail, who informed us knowledgeably about the local conditions. However, due to the weather (snowfall), we hardly saw any animals. Still a nice trip through the Finnish taiga.

This half day hiking tour is amazing. I love it so much! I didn’t do hiking for a long time I can still manage it. We saw a dear which is one of the highlight at the end. The tour guide is super good, informative and does take care of the tour. He would stop a bit appropriately to allow you a rest and it was raining that day, some part of trails are overflow with water and he would to try find another way not to let your shoes getting wet. Overall, I enjoyed this trip so much!

We had a great time in the Nuuksio-Nationalpark with Mikahil. He is a very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant person and answered all the different questions we had. It was nice to explore the park and hike within the woods. Even for me as an unathletic person the hike was very manageable and not too long or difficult. There's not a whole lot of time to take pictures but whenever needed and possible, Mikahil patiently waited on every group member. The transfer to and from the Nuuksio-Nationalpark by train and bus worked very well. Thank you Mikahil for this experience!
