Overview
Observe the Nuuksio National Park forests and lakes during this nice nature adventure. This guided excursion contains two parts: first theres a canoe trip on the calm Hawk Lake, followed by an easy walk through the lush green forest. Fill your lungs with fresh air and enjoy the beautiful sights.
The canoeing session on the Hawk Lake is sheltered from winds by the steep slopes and rocks surrounding the lake. The lake is small and the paddling distance not long. Our canoes are stable, and each can fit two people. Once the other end of the lake has been reached, you will climb up a steep hillside and enjoy the great views over the National Park.
After a short break you will be guided into the forest. This guided walk follows marked trails and the pace is easy suitable for everyone. Halfway down the tour a delicious sandwich and a hot drink are waiting by the lakeside.
The Nuuksio Canoe & Hike Adventure includes transport back and forth from downtown Helsinki.

This was simply wonderful! We were picked up by Sonja then drove about 40 minutes to the forest. There, she taught us how to canoe and we spent an hour on very still. It was raining a little bit so she gave us these massive rain jackets -- we all stayed warm and dry. After canoeing we went on an easy hike, where Sonja would point out various mushrooms and edible berries (we had a few). We stopped for lunch (sandwiches and sea buckthorn juice), then she drove us back to the pickup spot.
I had a lovely time and would recommend this for anyone who wants to explore the forest near Helsinki but doesn't have enough time for a longer hike or for camping. Thank you Sonja!

Our guide Sonja was terrific! She found wild blueberries and mushrooms. She gave us a lot of information about the forest ecosystem, the history of the glacier, and much more. Canoeing was really fun!
