MY trips HAVE values ADDED
WHITE ACTIVITIES FOR SINGLES
Finland is one of the safest and most LGBTQ friendly countries in the world.
SLOW TRAVEL…
My trips with added values, with activities, unique experiences in the middle of nature, local gastronomy and emotions with soul, these are a new form of tourism in Finland. My outings in small groups combine learning about yourself, leisure, slow-travel and of course an adventure in a balanced way.
When we know that it is possible to travel more and better, we no longer want anything else. We know that adventure is within our reach, and we want to share it with those we love most. And we also want MORE!
That is why I invite you to travel with me, so that you can discover FINLAND in a way that respects the culture that is going to welcome us and the fauna that we are going to observe, because above all we want to generate a trip with a POSITIVE IMPACT!
But first, let me introduce how this work!:
Place to spot rare lake seals and majestic ospreys.
What are you looking for in Central Finland?
Perhaps what I look for in each of my trips…
Discover the different landscapes that nature offers us and learn more about how people live in other parts of the world by sharing a cultural immersion with the local population.
Today I bring you a trip that I have prepared with great enthusiasm since we are going to fulfill one of my greatest dreams (and I hope yours too) together in Finland.
I am Harri, coordinator of this trip and an inveterate traveller, restless ass, who escapes to any part of Finland without thinking twice. I always travel with the aim of showing the beauty that we have on this planet to protect it, take care of it and generate an impact on the consciences of the people who travel with me.
If something defines me, it is the passion for animals. I am a lover of nature and I believe that we should protect it especially when we travel, generating the minimum possible impact so as not to exploit it but rather to conserve it.
This is the Finnish adventure designed for you
Our team does not get stressed doing the typical excursions in a hurry. The objective of the trip is to enjoy each place surrounded by people who above all love nature and want to discover the destination in a conscious way with the impacts that we are going to generate in the destination.
Nor will we go to the same places as other tourists. Combining the extraordinary known with the special unknown will make your senses explode with every step you take.
And on our return home, we will be the loudspeaker to minimize the exploitation of the resources that most tourists unconsciously generate when they travel.
We will be agents of change!



You will live the rawness of Nature, the ancestral culture, the authenticity of being a tribe.
I will accompany you along a route designed to experience moments of truth in a country that overflows with magic for those who know how to find it. Because we will get away from the tourist area to truly connect with every moment that nature will offer us exclusively, far from organized excursions for large groups
THAT'S WHY THIS TRIP IS UNIQUE
Who accompanies you on this journey?
Hey! I am Harri, I am Harri, a Finn living in Spain and passionate about travel, animals and outdoor adventures to little traveled places, always trying to do it in a responsible and conscious way for the planet and local communities.
I admit that I have always liked to travel, discover remote places and live new experiences. And yet, a few years ago, I went back to my roots and returned to my origins by active travels. I had the opportunity to take a daily sauna with a subsequent dip in the lake, paddle with the blue of the sky melting into the water, stop at a laavu to pick a few blueberries and eat something on the grill… It was a very intimate contact with nature, but not a cloistered nature, but alive, where people unfold. This is how the Finns feel their land.
This is how the idea was born
Upon returning to Spain I felt calmer in mind and satisfied with the hunger to travel. It took me a while to realize: 25 years traveling the world and it was the first time I felt this stillness after a trip. And this is what I would like to share with you, another non-invasive way of «doing tourism», respecting the environment that surrounds you and integrating into the environment as the locals do.

Travel companions more important than destination
The intensity of the journey comes from what we create together.
We believe that it is vitally important to form a team with people with the same tastes and values.
In addition to us, you will be accompanied by between 8 (at least) and 12 (at most) fellow travelers.
But not only that, the local team that makes the trip possible is part of this adventure. There will be moments of the trip where we will enrich the way sharing moments with guides and local people…
All the people who decide to join this traveling experience will go through a kind of interview with us to check the affinity with the team and confirm that we are all online.
In this way we will create a very nice and related group, with open and adventurous people. that multiplies the experience exponentially.
Because all the people on the team add up by contributing their grain of sand and thus creating an unbreakable pineapple.

Benefits of this MILTIADVENUTURE to Finland?
Aboriginal culture, majestic nature, fellowship, magic and calm!

We are going to soak up the Earth itself, its culture, its people, its mountains and its myths.
A story of greatness for hearts like yours or mine. Assimilate the beauty and brutality of nature, while we go through your body.
Breaking down the value of the trip to Finland
Budget control in your hands and transparency that benefits everyone.
In this section we explain 2 very important things: ExploraFinlandia does not work as a travel agency and you are the one who controls 100% of your budget.
Use the buttons to find out everything.
ExploraFinlandia does not work as a travel agency that is why we do NOT sell combined travel packages (Package that includes Transportation, activities and accommodation in the same price).
We only charge you for the great value that our service provides. We are Freelance travel designers and you are the one who controls 100% of your travel budget.
Look, we will explain it to you briefly.
The investment to make this trip is divided into 3 parts.
1.- ExploraFinlandia design, advice and support service – It is what we bill you.
2.- Travel budget – All local services that make this travel design possible – You pay it directly.
3.- Flights – The most variable part of the price – You buy it directly.
It is a way of ensuring that the value of your budget ends up where it has to, adding quality to the trip in the most sustainable way possible.
We want you to be an active part of the organization of the trip and of the enjoyment and illusion prior to the departure date. Starting from this idea of enjoying during the months prior to the trip, we create united groups, we communicate constantly to get to know each other better, break the ice… With this we achieve 2 things; first we sow the seed of a united group with all the benefits that this brings to the trip. Second, collaborate so that each participant makes some reservations directly without intermediaries.
With our help, each participant will make some reservations directly (Flight, local reservations that are essential to make in time, etc.), without that money passing through us. This way you will be able to know at all times where for your money, without intermediaries, without losses, in a more sustainable way, reaching the local economy to value much more everything that the trip includes.
And don’t worry, everything you have to book from home will hardly take you time and is a perfect excuse to get in touch and start living the trip together. We will help you with all this and once done we will focus on enjoying the whole experience.
Now read carefully the sections “ExploraFinlandiaService”, “Travel budget”, “Flights” and “What we are not” because they are very very important.
The part that we bill you has 3 value points that help you get a signature trip that is not repeated anywhere.
1 – AUTHOR TRAVEL DESIGN and ACCESS TO A MASTERPIECE IN THE FORM OF A TRIP
To make the trip possible: we negotiate with the locals in search of the best prices and the best possible experiences, find the coolest hotels so that they add value to the trip, coordinate transport… But this is the minimum for the travel, what everyone does…
Our design work goes further: you pay us so that your trip is pure art full of special moments. Our goal is to create a masterpiece that combines the most special sites of each country with the iconic «must see» places. We land all our traveling experience and turn it into a route that combines organized moments with that magic of the spontaneous that is essential in a great trip.
The trips we organize are not out of obligation, they are because we feel like doing them. That is why we do not repeat trips year after year, to keep our motivation to the fullest and make you experience something very, very special by our side.
This is the way to make the trip special, and not the copy of the copy of the trip that your neighbor already made.
2 – CREATE A UNITED GROUP OF SUPER LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
We work to find the right people and build a fireproof team. It is important that all the members of the group go in line with the type of trip that is proposed here; People with an open mind, collaborative, eager to contribute and receive.
To do this, we conduct live interviews with each of the interested parties. We talk, we solve doubts, we feel the feeling and thus we help each person who contacts us to make the best possible decision in order to join this trip. Not all trips are for everyone, and if we see that someone is not going to enjoy this trip, we recommend another type of trip more in line with their tastes and needs.
This small filter allows us to create a super fun team that wants to give everything and is capable of creating an exponential experience.
3 – CONTRIBUTION OF VALUE BEFORE AND DURING THE TRIP
For us, a journey begins at home, months before leaving. And to start dreaming, we create a PRE-trip experience that allows us to start group contact. This is how we break the ice, we see each other’s faces, we feel the atmosphere and we create a united team that is a pineapple.
> During the months prior to the trip we will be in direct contact in a WhatsApp group and we will hold videoconferences to design the luggage, the first-aid kit, resolve all doubts instantly, buy flights and share all the organizational information of the trip. We will even meet the local guides who will tell us things about what we are going to experience on the trip.
We can even personalize the trip more: We will give you ideas for days off and we can even organize extra activities in a personalized way that enhance the individual experience.
This is what people value most because when we arrive at the airport and from minute 1 we feel the warmth of a group that has been collaborating for months.
ZERO doubts! – MAX atmosphere!
>> During the trip, we will be your English, we will be your mechanic, we will be your advisor, we will be your experience. The objective is that we travel together, without fear, as a team. And above all that we enjoy as a team everything that arises on the trip.
It is the part of the price of the trip that you manage yourself (with our help) to pay directly to local suppliers: hotels, local transport, visits, local guide services… Later you will have the full price breakdown explained perfectly.
1.- Sometimes we have to make some reservations from home
On some trips we will use part of this budget to reserve the services of the local guide, for the advance purchase of tickets, train / bus tickets or other services necessary for the trip, etc …
Once the group is formed, we will make these reservations from home. We meet, we enjoy the group, we make these reservations together. Of course, whoever wants to can make reservations on his own account and in a simple way with the information that we pass on to him. Of course, they represent a tremendous cost savings.
2.- You will take the rest of the budget to the trip.
You take most of the travel budget with you and normally you will use it during the first days to pay for everything that has been budgeted for this trip.
- – To pay the local guide.
- – To pay for accommodation
- – To pay for visits.
- – To pay for transportation
There will be expenses that are not budgeted for on this trip, such as the extra activities that we propose, some lunches and dinners, some transportation…
We don’t budget because we don’t know what everyone wants to eat at certain times of the day, because we don’t know when we’ll need a taxi, because we don’t know if you want to do some optional activities.
But before you can access the reservation of your place, we always explain the prices of those optional activities that enhance the trip.
The rest of the expenses are minimal and depend on each participant and her little vices 🙂
Flights are the variable part of the cost of a trip. We never know how much the flight will cost, what we do know is that the sooner you buy the better for 2 reasons:
- Best prices.
- You forget about headaches and wasted time and focus on enjoying the experience prior to the trip.
We buy the flights once we have the minimum confirmed group and we always do it directly where the prices are cheaper.
Of course, we recommend several insurance options because you never know…
Because flights are a part of the travel budget that does not depend on us, and it is always important to have all the ends tied up. We will help you to the fullest!
Before you join this magnificent journey it is important that you understand what we are not, to understand what we are.
To do this, the first thing you should do is visit our “about us” page.
Look, we summarize it here:
- We are not a travel agency because we do not sell combined packages. We are Freelance travel designers and we offer advice to travelers who want to go further through our experience. Thanks to this information that we share, you can control your money at all times by reserving without intermediaries and with our help everything you need to make the trip possible.

knowing NATIONAL PARK
Attractions in Linnansaari National Park
Landscape of the national park: Located in the heart of the Finnish Lakeland, the Linnansaari National Park perfectly reflects its landscape.
Linnansaari National Park is in the heart of the Finnish Lakeland, and an ideal place to spot rare Saimaa Ringed Seals and majestic ospreys. The magnificent landscape alternates between a labyrinth of sheltered islands and broader open waters.
Over 130 islands as well as islets and boulders are part of the area and provide a diverse landscape of forests, ridges, meadows, fields, rocks and waters – the ideal habitat for a bio-diverse flora and fauna.
What is Lakeland?
Finnish lakeland is the largest Lake District in Europe: In a scarcely populated country there’s enough scenery and shoreline for all, allowing you to easily lose yourself in thought or be inspired by the vast clear lakes, intricately splintered by islands, isthmuses and green spits.
Taking a trip to Lakeland is like taking a trip into the heart of Finnish identity.

the most special
Unforgettable nights
Coexistence in a Saimaa Natural Park spending time in a laavu (the typical dwelling) and making our own dinner there . We will be able to go out and see the auroras in an overwhelming snowy landscape. dinner around a campfire and having nice time.
We never promise you that you will see auroras. It is never guaranteed as it depends on how cloudy the sky is and the weather conditions, but the local guides know the area perfectly and will maximize our chances.
We will eat a spectacular cake that is the trip, and the icing is the auroras that if we eat it, we will close a brutal experience.

Other essentials that you should know.
All the people who join this adventure must know…
Sometimes these essentials are part of the experience, other times they are a necessity that do not deserve a large budget investment.
And other times, we don’t even include them in the budget and leave them as optional.
