Polku Nature Tours – Find Your Nature

Polku Nature Tours takes you to nature where you belong. Polku specialises in teaching survival skills and traditional wilderness skills. With us, you will learn to live in nature, on nature’s terms, not at its mercy. Our courses and programmes support self-reliance in nature, appreciation of natural conditions and outdoors safety in different environments.

We offer tailor-made courses, guided hikes and nature experiences for groups. Each programme is designed according to the client’s wishes, skill level and goals. Our services include treks, survival skills courses, wilderness skills training and other nature experiences. We also carry out media and influencer cooperation, and plan hiking trails.

It is of paramount importance to us that our operations respect and use nature in a sustainable way. We teach traditional, simple and nature-based outdoor skills. We offset the transport emissions from our operations through a Finnish carbon exchenge project Hiilipörssi. Read more about our values here.

Feedback from the hiking course

“The hike was a unique, educational and unforgettable experience. The route was not the easiest for a beginner hiker, and sometimes it was a bit nervous to see if everything would go well, although you still had a basic feeling of safety throughout the hike.”
