About this activity

This day trips & excursions is one of the standout things to do in Helsinki, Finland. Rated 4.2/5 by 5 travellers, it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €149 per person. 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 foraging 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. It is also a personal favourite here at Taiga Times.

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

Best time to visit

Helsinki is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular day trips & excursions slots in Helsinki sell out.
