Name: Archipelago by Helsinki Day Hike
Brand: Finnish Friend
Rating: 5.0 (107 reviews)

Private, full-day hiking tour at Finland’s archipelago near Helsinki with 5-star service and 5-star rating. Done in the same way as we locals do it, this feels like going hiking with your Finnish friend.

Pickup from your accommodation, borrow any outdoor clothing or gear you need for any conditions, walk on the smooth rock and only hear the sound of sea and birds, chop firewood to have lunch by campfire, and do the seasonal activities like bird spotting, picking berries, swimming, walking on sea ice, and watch the sunset.

Available year round.

❤ Reasons to Choose This Over Other Helsinki Archipelago Tours

Sitting down, staring at the sea and listening to the waves, or spotting birds with binoculars, nobody tells you to move on because of the schedule.

This is private. Everything is done in ways you like them and you get more personal experience.

Full-day instead of half-day. This tour typically takes 6 to 10 hours, while others spend 3 hours in nature. It’s up to you how we spend the time, relaxing or hiking longer distance.

Proper lunch on campfire. We’re sitting by the fire when the other tours have already returned to the city.

Mikko is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and generous guide and host. He gave us the perfect introduction to the natural environment of Finland, from trees and birds to waterways and rocks. He also provided considered insights into everything from cultural heritage to politics to motorsport!We had a wonderfully long walk and talk with our Finnish Friend on the archipelago. We were amazed to see the place teeming with birdlife – most we’d never seen before; some very familiar shorebirds that had travelled as far as we had.It’s refreshing to meet someone doing what they love and doing it their own way, independent of any platform. It’s great to have a Finnish Friend, and Mikko is as uniquely Finnish and friendly as they get! We hope to see him and his wonderful country again one day.Al & Beth, Tasmania

Wir hatten zu zweit einen großartigen Tagesausflug mit Mikko im Archipelago. Da wir nicht auf eine Wanderung im Urlaub eingestellt waren, hatten wir weder Schuhe noch Regenkleidung mit. Glücklicherweise hatte Mikko alle notwendigen Kleidungsstücke und Schuhe in seinem Kleinbus. Und wir haben auch alles gebraucht, denn es überkam uns während des Essens eine typisch finnische Sommerhusche. Ein tolles Abenteuer und phänomenale Fotos sind währenddessen entstanden. Schönwetter kann jeder. Er zeigte uns essbare Kräuter, zeigte uns Vögel und erklärte uns Vieles über Schlangen. Jetzt kann ich sie gut unterscheiden 😊. Vielen Dank Mikko!!The two of us had a fantastic day trip with Mikko in the archipelago. Since we weren't prepared for a hike on vacation, we didn't bring any shoes or rain gear. Luckily, Mikko had all the necessary clothing and footwear in his minivan. And we needed everything, because we were overcome by a typical Finnish summer fever during dinner. It was a fantastic adventure, and we took some phenomenal photos. Anyone can enjoy good weather. He showed us edible herbs, showed us birds, and explained a lot about snakes. Now I can tell them apart easily 😊. Thank you so much, Mikko!!
