Redrib Archipelago Experience

Did you know Finland has over 170,000 islands? This RIB boat tour gives you a chance to see a few of them up close. It’s a small-group trip that gets you out of the city fast and onto the water. You’ll visit remote spots you can’t reach by ferry, stop at one island for a walk, maybe check out a sauna, and have a simple picnic outdoors. It’s quick, a bit wild, and more like an adventure than a typical boat cruise.

Helicopter Sightseeing Tours with Helsinki Citycopter

If you want to see Helsinki (and a lot more) from above, this is the way to do it. Citycopter runs private helicopter tours over the city, the archipelago, and even further out if you’re up for it. It’s not cheap, but you’ll cover a lot fast, and the views are simply wild. Good option if you feel like splurging on a tour or just want a different angle on Finland.

Treetop Adventure Huippu

Climb, swing, and zip between the trees at this outdoor ropes course in Leppävaara, just 12 minutes by train from Helsinki. There are different levels, so you don’t need to be a pro to give it a go. Open in summer. Nearby, you’ll find a swimming hall, an outdoor pool, the Angry Birds playground, and the Sello shopping centre. If you’re into art, the Gallen-Kallela Museum is close too.

Mushroom Hunting

From late summer to autumn, Finland’s forests are full of edible mushrooms, and Liesjärvi National Park is one of the best places to find them. This day trip from Helsinki takes you to the heart of the park, where a local guide will show you how to forage like a Finn. You’ll explore the forest, learn which mushrooms are safe to eat, and cook lunch over a campfire. It’s a calm, hands-on way to spend a day outdoors, and a good intro to Finland’s deep connection with nature.

Winter Wonderland Hike

This day trip from Helsinki takes you into Liesjärvi National Park, where the forest slows down for winter. The snow-covered trees, frozen lakes, and stillness make it feel like another world. It's quiet, calm, and a good way to see the Taiga at its most peaceful. You’ll hike through the woods, learn a bit about winter wildlife, then warm up with a hot lunch and coffee by the fire in a simple wilderness hut.

Winter Archipelago Excursion

Get out of the city and experience Finland’s coastal nature in winter. This half-day trip from Helsinki takes you to Porkkalanniemi, a remote peninsula known for its quiet forests, frozen seascapes, and occasional wildlife—deer and foxes, if you're lucky. You’ll walk through snowy trails, warm up by a campfire, and have lunch cooked outdoors with a view of the sea. It’s peaceful, raw, and a good way to see another side of Finland.

Berry Picking

This day trip from Helsinki takes you to Liesjärvi National Park, where you’ll spend the day picking wild blueberries, lingonberries, and whatever else the forest has to offer. A local guide will show you where to look and what to pick—it’s simple, slow-paced, and surprisingly satisfying. You’ll also stop for a Finnish-style lunch cooked over a fire, with time to just take in the quiet. If you’re lucky, you might spot deer or other wildlife along the way.
