PATAJOKI SAFARI
Strictly driving
This 1,5 hour safari concentrates in the main thing – driving. After an introduction on how to handle the vehicle we will discover the Himos Resort from different angles. Depending of the season we will drive through small winding sandy roads or head to the forest paths. A quick stop for pictures up on Himos hilltops is a must.
Duration about 1,5 hours
Price 102 € / person, 79 € / person (2 people sharing vehicle)
MOOSE SAFARI
Driving and a coffee break at Moose Manor
First we will go through the basics on handling the ATV-vehicles before taking off. We will make a tour around Himos Resort before heading to an enchanting little zoo-park called The Moose Manor, built in the 18th Century. Moose Manor is the only place in Finland where you can cuddle and kiss forest moose. There are also fallow deer and reindeer in the park. After taking several #moosies and giving kisses we will also enjoy coffee and house pie in the manor’s idyllic main room or tupa before heading back towards Himos.
Duration about 2,5 hours
Price 132 € / person, 104 € / person (2 people sharing vehicle)
LIESJÄRVI SAFARI
Driving and a snack break by the campfire
After getting introduction on handling the vehicle we will embark on the 2,5 hour safari. The journey will take us all the way to the Patajoki bridge where Lake Päijänne comes into full view. We will stop for a snack break by the campfire at Lake Yläinen-Liesjärvi where we will grill sausages and enjoy coffee and juice enjoying the silence surrounding this small clear watered lake in the middle of forest.
Duration about 2,5 hours
Price 132€ / person, 104 € / person (2 people sharing vehicle)
