5.00What a fantastic experience just outside Helsinki. From the woods and rocks walk, the the gorgeous shoreline and the delicious lunch, we could not imagine and better introductions to Finland’s natural world. Our guide, Annette, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and gracious. As a former outdoor guide myself, I was impressed with how she accommodated the varying abilities of our mixed age group. Foraging for berries and mushrooms was a particular highlight for our group. The rest of our week in Helsinki was deeply informed by our glimpse into the importance of nature in Finnish culture. Just a delightful outing!
