We’ll arrange pickup and drop-off based on where you’re staying. In most cases, we’ll meet you at (or near) your hotel, sometimes at a nearby easy meeting point to keep things smooth.
Transport add-on: typically €10–€20 per person, depending on distance, time, and the day’s route.

All tours and services are guided in English, so you can relax knowing everything (safety briefings, tips, and local nature insights) will be clear and easy to follow.

Sooner is better, especially for weekends and peak season. If you’re flexible, we can sometimes fit trips in about a week in advance due to cancellations.

Dress for the weather and expect to be outdoors the whole time. Layers are best.

• Comfortable walking shoes

• A warm layer + rain jacket (even in summer)

• Hat/gloves in spring/autumn

Not much. Bring:

• A water bottle

• Any personal snacks you want

  We provide the practical items for the experience (for example: cups/plates for fire snacks, and binoculars for birdwatching when available).

Our trips are relaxed and adjusted to the group. You should be comfortable walking on uneven trails and standing outside for breaks. Tell us your preference (easy vs. moderate) when booking.

Yes, many trips work well for families. We keep the pace flexible, take breaks, and can choose shorter routes. Let us know ages and any needs.

We go out in normal Finnish weather (including light rain). If conditions are unsafe or clearly not enjoyable (storms, high winds, extreme conditions), we’ll offer a reschedule or a refund of what you’ve paid.

If you need to move your trip, contact us as early as possible. We’ll do our best to reschedule to another date/time, depending on availability.

We take a non-refundable deposit (50%) to secure your spot. The remaining balance is paid on the day of the trip (or right after), unless otherwise agreed.
Payment options: Cash, PayPal, MobilePay, or invoice by email.

Deposit exceptions: deposit is returned or moved if we cancel, if conditions are unsafe, or if we agree together to reschedule.
