Finnish specialities

Live like a local

If you want for a moment to live like a Finn, you need to try some local activities. You can meet Santa Claus for every day of the year - of course - but also a lot more. Sauna, ice-fishing, berry and mushroom picking, gold panning are all traditional Finnish activities you can experience in our excursions, not to mentioned local food with pure flavours of the North.

We also rent equipment for camping, hiking, fishing or canoeing for self-guided summer activities. Find online rental links in the bottom of the page.
