Private Trips in Finland
I’ve spent 20+ years guiding in beautiful remote places : Patagonia, Alaska, Tanzania, the Arctic. These days home is Lake Saimaa, and the forests and lakes around here are some of the quietest wild places I know.
I design private trips for groups who want to go slower and look closer. You can paddle between granite islands at sunrise, walk hut to hut through old-growth forest, or stand on a frozen lake at 1 a.m. watching the sky catch fire.
No fixed itinerary. We build it around your people, your season, and what you’re hoping to find out there.
Ways to go
- Saimaa by kayak. Island camps, still water, ringed seal country.
- Hut to hut. Multi-day loops in Koli, Syöte and beyond.
- Photo safaris. Learn to see the light, not just shoot it.
- Snowshoe & forest days. Deep snow, animal tracks, a fire and hot drinks in the middle of nowhere.
- Frozen lake journeys. Skating or skiing across Saimaa’s ice when conditions allow, always with ice-safety gear and local knowledge.
- Winter camping. Heated tents, wood stoves, and nights so clear you’ll forget to sleep.
- Sauna & ice swim. The Finnish way to reset. Hot, cold, repeat.
- Aurora nights. We chase clear skies and follow the forecast. I’ll show you how to photograph what you’re seeing.
The part nobody else offers
I’m also a filmmaker. If you want it, I’ll document the trip as we go, so you get to be in the moment and still bring the story home.
How it starts
Write to me. Tell me who’s coming, when, and what’s pulling you north. I’ll come back with a route and a plan. You bring the curiosity.
