Private picnic seascape with a meal to Porkkala Peninsula
Spend a lovely day on the shores of the Baltic Sea away from the hustle and bustle of the Finnish capital Helsinki!
We will provide a private day with a meal tour to Porkkala peninsula area. Porkkala was "rented" to Soviet Union after WW2 to build a naval base. Nowadays it is a wonderful nature protection area to visit all around the year, to enjoy sea shore views and watch migrating birds in the springtime and autumn. Our tour includes transportation.and outdoor meal.

“ A memorable experience with our personal guide ”
We went with Mr Timo for our tour of Suomenlinna Fortress on the 25th of December. We had our seven-year-old boy with us on tour. Our meeting made it very apparent that Mr Timo belongs to Helsinki and knows the city properly. He knew a great deal of history and geopolitics. He kept the tour lively, with just enough history and a good deal of Finnish culture. Conversation with him was relevant and we never got bored. I strongly recommend him as anyone's tour guide.
