Our canoeing tour was awesome. Mika is very knowledgeable and easygoing. Park was just 40 minutes away from Helsinki and it is absolutely worth visiting. It was filled with mushrooms... read more and we even were able to find few blueberries and lingonberries at the time of visit. Canoes were heavy to carry but the experience was well worth it. We stopped at the firepit to drink lingonberry compote Mika made and taste Finnish pastry, that was a very nice experience.

We had a great time visiting Nuuksio National Park with Feel the Nature. We saw some amazing scenery hiking through the beautiful park and our guide gave us helpful context... read more about the tiny birds still active in winter and the different vegetation that we could see. After a thoughtfully prepared break for tea or coffee we went to the reindeer park for a visit and feed. Some of the reindeer were still growing out their new antlers. The reindeer feeding was a great way to finish an awesome tour. …

This is a fantastic trip - not only for the canoeing portion but also for learning about Finnish nature. Olli greeted us warmly when we pulled up to the... read more boathouse and his generous nature and happy sense of humor continued throughout our whole trip. We went as a family of 6 - kids ages 12-18. We began with an introduction to paddling and steering the canoes and Olli gave us a choice of possible routes. We paddled the 4 canoes (pairs of us and Olli in a solo canoe) around one of the Nuuksio lakes and then pulled up on shore to carry the boats between lakes. While onshore Olli showed us how to forage some of the local mushrooms and berries and explained a lot of the surroundings - both the national park landscape and the flora/fauna such as the types of lichen and the types of mammals living in the area; his knowledge of wilderness is deep. We then paddled a bit more and stopped for a snack and a swim. The snack was delicious and the swimming delightful!
We are looking forward to taking the canoes out again soon and highly recommend a nature experience with Feel the Nature. Everything was safe and easy - they had vests, dry sacs, etc. We were able to take all our things safely in a large wet bag they provided. Olli even took lovely photos too which he sent to us! It would be a great first stop in Nuuksio and Olli’s knowledge of the park would certainly help you plan the rest of your visit.
