Overview

The forests of Finland are packed with wild foods! As spring transitions into summer, the forest flourishes new vegetation and the aroma of fresh berries fills the air. Whether you are here to experience the Finnish culture of berry picking or simply taste these natural and organic berries, you will treasure this intimate experience in Finland's wilderness.

Highlights:
• Forage and learn about the wild foods of Finland
• Experience an off the beaten path national park
• Enjoy a fresh Finnish-style lunch (Dietary needs? Let us know when booking.)
• Take home your extra berries and snack on your bounty

On this guided tour from Helsinki, we will explore the serene mossy forests of Liesjärvi National Park. While looking for berries, we may fill our baskets with Finnish superfoods such as blueberries, lingonberries and, with some extra luck, some sweet wild strawberries. These superfoods are rich in vitamins and nutrients and sweeter than any berry you could buy from the stores!

What's Included

  • Lunch Finnish-style lunch with a drink and dessert. Please inform us of any food restrictions when booking.
  • Raincoat in case of rain
  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • Bottled water As a sustainable company, we don’t provide plastic bottles, so we kindly ask guests to bring their own reusable water bottle.
