Guided Nature Trips in Finland — Small Group & Private Tours


Hiking, trekking and backpacking, natureyoga, relaxation, and photography courses in Finlands nature.


Short and long trips and journeys — in Finland and beyond.

Aava Outdoors organises guided trips to national parks and other stunning natural destinations. Routes lead through forest trails, bogs, and fells on foot or by bike, along waterways by canoe, and through snowy winter landscapes on skis or snowshoes.

A skilled guide navigates the trails or waterways on your behalf, leading you along safe routes and looking after the group's well-being — so you can focus fully on experiencing nature. The trips offer refreshment and a connection with nature: a chance to slow down, let the scenery soothe the senses, and meet fellow travellers in a competition-free zone.

Trip lengths range from two-hour walks and campfire moments in nearby nature all the way to week-long hikes and cultural journeys.



Backpack hikes and cycling trips

We organise backpack hikes on foot as well as cycling trips.

Walking hikes head to nearby trails, national parks, and wilderness areas. Cycling trips follow paths and routes suited to biking.

Customer Stories

Cultural & Thematic Tours


Timo's trip to Bauhaus Dessau and Berlin in 2018. The theme was photography, which, for me, meant the lightest possible interpretation. I was greatly interested in Bauhaus, and it did not disappoint. 


Access to the venues, staying in the minimalist student dormitory, and visits to houses designed by master architects were captured in pictures. 


It was fascinating to compare the group's snapshots of shared experiences. The Berlin part, guided by someone who had lived and studied there, shed light on aspects I had not experienced in previous trips to Berlin. A small group, shared interests, and well-planned content and scheduling turned a solo traveler into a group traveler on this journey.

Hiking and Yoga


Hiking and yoga in the mountains of Montenegro was an unforgettable experience. The landscapes were breathtaking and offered peace and quiet – a perfect contrast to the everyday hustle. 

The journey included both physical activity and adventure, as well as moments of relaxation and recovery. The knowledgeable tour organizer took care of logistics and practicalities, allowing the mind to truly rest, making the vacation feel like a real holiday.

Canoe Trek


Kolovesi Nationalpark

Thank you Timo, Jaana, Antti, Riitta, Katariina and Outi – for an amazing trip! Sitting here now in this October weather and wind, I find myself wondering if it even really happened.

– Katri


Many thanks again to the organizers for your care and to everyone for the great company! I feel a bit like I've just woken up from a dream – but those photos definitely prove that we did paddle.

– Outi


Thank you all for a wonderful trip. Back home now, it truly feels like the whole journey was an unreal little bubble in nature – but these are exactly the kinds of bubbles we need more of in life. :)
