About this experience

Welcome to explore the best kept secret of Oulu. By joining this tour, you'll get to visit a locally popular – but very untouristic part of Oulu. You'll get to relax in the nature and breath pure air and enjoy a delicious lunch by campfire. If the weather permits, you'll also be able to walk over the frozen Baltic Sea – a truly unique experience.

We'll meet in central Oulu, from where we'll take a bus together for 15 minutes to reach Taskila neighborhood. From the bus stop it's a short walk until Letonniemi nature reserve. We will walk through picturesque nature, and you'll learn about the local flora and fauna. As this is a private tour, you'll be able to ask all questions you might have concerning Oulu or Finland. Your guide is a local Finn, born and raised in the region. After 30 minute walk, we'll reach the campfire place where we'll enjoy a delicious lunch and a hot drink to warm ourselves up. After lunch, we'll head back to Oulu center.
