Natura Viva
About
Natura Viva offers immersive outdoor adventures across Southern Finland, from gentle lake paddling to rugged forest biking. Located in the Helsinki metropolitan area and extending to the picturesque National Parks of Nuuksio and Teijon, the company provides guided tours, equipment rentals, season passes, and accommodation such as wilderness cabins and camp sites. Visitors can choose to launch a kayak into the calm waters of the Helsinki archipelago, paddle the wide Suvasaari trails, or explore the winding forests of Nuuksio while relaxing in a sauna by the lake. Natura Viva combines practical, family‑friendly service with authentic Finnish nature experiences that cater to both seasoned athletes and casual hikers. The day‑to‑day operations run from early morning to early evening, with holiday schedules easing in winter for the ski‑friendly seasons. Rental points allow customers to take home kites, SUP‑boards, canoes, and the company’s own “fatbikes” for longer explorations. Whether a one‑day adventure or a multi‑day stay in a forest cabin, Natura Viva offers all the elements needed to enjoy Finland’s pristine landscapes. Season passes make it easy to dive into Helsinki’s archipelago, the North Sea, and the trails of six Southern Finland destinations without worrying about equipment rental fees. The company’s friendly staff is readily available at several sites, including Cafe Haukka in Nuuksio, and they provide included sauna experiences that highlight the Finnish beckon of nature and relaxation.
