Photos of Hiking in the Finnish-Russian Borderland

"This has to be one of the best trips we have done. Every day was a delight. Our guide was outstanding. We learned heaps about Finland, bushcraft and canoeing. The accommodations had rustic charm. The saunas were great!" Russell, September 2019

"Really, really happy." Søren, August 2019

"[The best parts were] the first three days in the really remote part of the borderlands before we got to Hossa National Park; our two brilliant guides (Saija and Vesa); the small group size (we were only seven) and all well-matched in ability." Jacky, August 2018

"The guide, the group, the scenery. Loved it all." Lesley

"Very knowledgeable guide, I learned a lot about Finnish culture." Name not supplied

"Because many of our trip members came from different tour organizers, I had the opportunity to compare them and I have to say that yours is the best! Thank you for keeping us updated about the weather conditions (rubber boots were the only option for the first two days!) and for all extra arrangements before the trip (Kajaani flight was later than expected) and after (visiting the beautiful city of Kajaani). Our great guide, Joose, was taking very nice care of us. The size of the group was just perfect, and although almost each group member was from a different country, we made friends in an instant. The trip felt like a laughing retreat in the Finnish bogs, which made it much easier to deal with trilliards of mosquitoes! I have travelled with Nature Travels few years ago, so I knew it's a reliable and well-organized company." Joanna
