Guided Birdwatching Tour

Discover Finnish birdlife just outside the city of Lahti. I offer guided birdwatching tours in the peaceful countryside of Hollola – a charming village known for its medieval stone church, scenic lakeshores, quiet fields, and natural beauty.

Tours are ideal for beginners and casual nature lovers, but also enjoyable for more experienced birders. We begin on foot, by bike, or take a short drive to nearby nature spots, depending on the season and interests of the group.

Early summer is the most active time for birds, when nightingales, warblers and other songbirds sing through the night. But every season has its highlights – from springtime geese and swans to autumn migrations and winter feeders.

The real highlight is the experience itself: fresh air, peaceful surroundings, and the joy of observing nature slowly and mindfully.

Whether you’re visiting Lahti or staying nearby, a guided birdwatching tour is a memorable way to connect with the Finnish landscape.
