At a glance

  • Helsinki and Stockholm in one private journey
  • Nuuksio forest, sauna and dinner
  • Alpaca farm and berry wine tasting at Lepaa
  • Stockholm archipelago finale

This six-day private Nordic route connects Helsinki and Stockholm through design, countryside, forest, food, and water. You begin in Helsinki with a private arrival, central hotel check-in, and a first evening shaped around either the city’s design character or a Finnish-drinks-led introduction. The tone is calm from the start: structured enough to feel handled, but not packed so tightly that the journey loses its rhythm.

The Finnish part of the trip moves between city and nature. One day takes you into the Nuuksio area for forest air, sauna, and dinner, giving the route a slower Finnish centre. Another moves into the countryside for an alpaca farm visit and a berry wine tasting at Lepaa, adding a softer, more personal layer before the journey shifts west.

Stockholm gives the final part of the package a different texture: older streets, maritime scale, design pacing, and an archipelago finish. The transfer from Helsinki to Stockholm can be handled by direct flight for a clean short-route structure, or by ferry if the sea crossing should become part of the experience. The final day is built around water, islands, and distance before departure is handled privately and cleanly.

Day by day

The itinerary

Day 01
1

Day 1 — Arrival in Helsinki, Helsinki Airport

Your journey begins with a private airport transfer and a calm hotel check-in in central Helsinki. The evening can be shaped in one of two ways: a private design-led walk through Helsinki’s creative core, or a Finnish-drinks-led introduction with a local, contemporary tone. Both keep the first day light while still giving the city a clear opening mood.

  • Private airport pick-up
  • Private transfer to central Helsinki hotel
  • Hotel check-in
  • Choice of private design-led Helsinki walk or Finnish-drinks-led evening
  • Optional dinner reservation support

Day 2 — Nuuksio forest + sauna + dinner

After breakfast, the city gives way to forest. A private transfer takes you to the Nuuksio area, close enough to feel easy but far enough to shift the pace completely. If timing suits, the day can begin with a short forest walk before sauna and dinner become the centre of the evening.

  • Private transfer from Helsinki to Nuuksio area
  • Short nature walk, timing-dependent
  • Forest sauna reservation
  • Dinner arrangement in the Nuuksio area
  • Private return transfer to Helsinki
  • Weather-aware timing and backup planning

Day 3 — Alpacas + berry wine + countryside rhythm

Today moves into the softer side of Southern Finland. You travel privately for an alpaca farm visit, then continue to Lepaa Winery for a tasting focused on Finnish berries and local production. It is a lighter countryside day, built around slower encounters rather than standard sightseeing.

  • Private countryside transfer
  • Alpaca farm visit
  • Alpaca feeding or a guided farm visit
  • Lepaa Winery reservation
  • Berry wine tasting
  • Return transfer to Helsinki
  • Timing buffers for countryside routing

Day 4 — Helsinki to Stockholm, flight or ferry

The route shifts from Finland to Sweden. For a short premium itinerary, a direct Helsinki–Stockholm flight keeps the transfer clean and efficient; a ferry can be used if the sea crossing should become part of the story. On arrival, Stockholm is introduced gently through Old Town, selected design stops, and a free evening or dinner reservation depending on timing.

  • Private transfer to Helsinki Airport or port
  • Helsinki–Stockholm flight or ferry, quoted separately unless included
  • Private arrival transfer in Stockholm
  • Stockholm hotel check-in
  • Private Old Town introduction or selected design stops, timing-dependent
  • Optional dinner reservation support

Day 5 — Stockholm Archipelago + water finish

Stockholm ends the route with water, islands, and space. Depending on season, weather, and guest preference, the day can be shaped as a guided archipelago cruise, a Vaxholm-based outing, or a shorter island format. This is the broadening moment of the package: Helsinki begins with city texture and countryside reach, while Stockholm finishes with maritime scale.

  • Private or guided Stockholm archipelago experience
  • Cruise, Vaxholm outing, or shorter island format
  • Route selected according to season and guest style
  • Time for waterfront views and slower pacing
  • Optional private boat charter upgrade
  • Final evening in Stockholm

Day 6 — Departure from Stockholm, Stockholm Airport

The final morning stays flexible. If flight timing allows, a museum, design stop, or short city walk can be added as a clean cultural close. Otherwise, the package ends simply with private transfer and departure assistance.

  • Hotel check-out
  • Optional final museum or design stop, timing-dependent
  • Private transfer to Stockholm Airport
  • Departure assistance
  • Flight-aware timing buffers
