Locals rush to their favourite bogs and forests in summer and fall with baskets and buckets to pick vitamin-rich berries. It's a great way to spend time with your friends or family, collect healthy berries, and put them in the freezer to enjoy during the long winter. On this tour, our guide teaches you about picking berries and finding natural ingredients.
We will have a break by the campfire where you can relax while your guide prepares for you traditional Finnish pancakes, or crepes, by the open fire. Depending on the season you may be able to top your snack with freshly picked berries.

Slice of nature!!

5.00Highly recommend the 3 hour Arctic circle hike managed by Apukka especially for young children. The stories by Vesa our guide was enriching. For us city dwellers it was a life lesson on being with nature and respecting the way of life. We learnt about berries, mushrooms, type of trees, leaves, birds and so much more. The tour includes hot drinks and snacks by a fire side. Vesa was kind and patient with our questions, excellent photographer and he being from the indigenous tribe made it enchanting and worthwhile. Make sure you get him as a guide when you sign up for the tour!!
