★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 688 reviews · 5 hours · from $66Our pick

Half-day guided hike to Nuuksio National Park from Helsinki with a biologist, forest lakes, and eco-friendly public transit for small groups.

“A really fun trip, great guide friendly, easy to talk to and chat with, fun facts and a good amount of information. Great views on and around the little hike. We had just a little group my group of 3 and two older members, a really good size for the group. Even the drizzle and light rain mid morning onwards did not put a damper on the day. Trip started with meeting up near the train station, about 30mins on the train then 30mins on the bus (local transport is a dream!). Arrived at the destination guide gave us some information about the National Park, explained what we were going…”

2.Half-Day Nature Adventure to Nuuksio National Park from Helsinki

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 95 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Small-group hike from Helsinki to Nuuksio National Park with a nature-focused biologist guide, easy logistics, and forest-and-lake views.

“It was a great half a day trip using public transport (one hour each way). I liked the hike a lot because it was the right level for me - not very difficult. There were about 300 steps at some point (a few of them were broken) but since we were going down, I had no problems. If it were the other way, it would have been very difficult for me. It was good thinking on the guide’s part to choose that particular direction. He was on time, very thoughtful and knew his way around.”

5.Half-Day Walking Tour around Helsinki with Arto

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $55Best value

A small-group, 3-hour Helsinki walking tour with Arto, linking Senate Square, art, politics, and language, with plenty of questions.

“Arto’s disarming character teamed with his human-scaled knowledge of his beloved Helsinki sets the tone for one of the most informative, humorous and friendly walking tours we’ve ever been on. Our discussion about all things political, social and environmental were eagerly encouraged by Arto as we wound our way around Helsinki. The usual tourist-like attractions were pointed out but the greatest feature of the tour was Arto himself. He is an exceptional guide and explains Finland’s place in the world through enlightened eyes.”

A half-day wilderness tour from Levi with a small English-speaking group, hot drinks, BBQ breaks, optional snowshoes, and edited photo access.

“Alors, contrairement à ce qui est ecrit sur les prospectus et dans le descriptif Viator, cette excursion ne fait pas 3h ni 4h et encore moins 5h ! Entrée en matière très bizarre car le guide nous demande si on veut marcher ou faire des raquettes car les raquettes « ça peut être lourd et difficile »… euh… non non on veut des raquettes. Il nous demande ensuite si on veut faire un parcours facile à plat ou un parcours avec qq montées et descentes un peu hors des sentiers battus. Nous optons bien sûr pour la deuxième option puisqu’on a choisi la prestation « wilderness » . Il y a ensuite 50 minutes…”
