This magical guided Arctic spring walking tour leads you from Oulu city center to the frozen—or slowly awakening—sea of Nallikari and back. Along the way, you’ll experience the dramatic changes of Arctic nature after a long winter, a striking contrast to spring in Central Europe. Listen to the sounds of breaking ice, spot hundreds of birds returning from migration, observe local wildlife, and discover Oulu’s city life, culture, and history — all in one unforgettable journey.
Join us on a unique walking route along Oulu’s most beautiful trails, exploring the scenic Oulu River Delta, the historic wooden houses of Pikisaari, the peaceful forests of Hietasaari, the shores of the Bothnian Bay, and the famous Nallikari seaside resort. We continue through the historic Toppila ship port area, now transforming into one of Oulu’s most modern districts, before returning to the city via a different scenic trail through stunning river delta landscapes.
This tour is a unique and unforgettable experience for everyone who loves outdoor activities and longer walks, balanced with plenty of relaxing breaks and small snacks. Led by an experienced local nature guide, the tour is perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, and organized groups.
