Overview

Discover a foragers paradise on this day trip to a pristine Finnish national park. This excursion is packed with adventure, education, and delicious food. This guided tour from Helsinki immerses us into the forest and the magical world of fungi. Bright oranges, golden yellows, and deep reds decorate the forest floor. We are in search of Finland's most delicious and prized edible mushrooms, the chanterelle. However, as the name suggests, it is a hunt! We will not always find what we are looking for, and although most of the mushrooms are harmless, there are many poisonous ones too. But not to worry, for your guide will be able to show you which are edible and is always available to explain about the different fungi you have found. Highlights: • Forage with a professional guide in a national park • Learn how to identify specific edible mushrooms • Help prepare and cook your wild fungi finds • Enjoy a Finnish-style lunch and coffee by the campfire

Informative and fun mushroom hunt

Published on Oct, 2024

I can highly recommend the tour with Taiga Times. Jeff is a very knowledgeable and pleasant guide who gave us a great introduction into the art of mushroom hunting. We had a lot of fun and found plenty of chanterelles and some other mushrooms with which Jeff prepared a tasty lunch. There were even mushrooms left that we could bring home for an omlette on the next day :)

Fantastic experience - you will not regret booking

Published on Oct, 2024

I would give this tour 100 stars if that were an option. Our guide, Alex, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the forest. We found some mushrooms and had a delightful meal of mushrooms and salmon soup. I will absolutely book this tour again if we return to the Helsinki area.

Fantastic

Fantastic experience!! A great day out, we learned so much. Everyone was super friendly. Jeff is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The meal was great too. My boyfriend and I are vegetarian/vegan and they catered to our dietary requirements without problems. We would 100000% recommend it!

Care-free fun day out in the woods

Published on Sep, 2024

I very much enjoyed the trip. Alex was a great and easy guide, everythings was well prepared and oranized but also not too rigid. It really was a care-free fun day out in the woods!

Highly recommended to create lifetime memories

What a fantastic day in the beautiful wild forests. Learnt so much about mushrooms, fungi and wild berries. Jeff and Christian were fabulous hosts and made it a great day. Collecting and cooking mushrooms for a yummy lunch. Not overly strenuous leaving you that comfortable glowing tiredness. Met some great new friends.
