FoRestful - Recharge in Nature!

Finland’s untouched and pristine nature is at the core of Finnish life. Living sustainably and in harmony with the environment is deep-rooted here and is an essential element of responsible travel. This includes not only a respect for nature and wildlife, but also people and their age-old customs. We want to see this development process through ecological, social, economic and cultural dimensions.

​

Sustainable tourism is committed to having a positive impact on nature, society and the economy, leaving a low ecological footprint and honouring local cultures. FoRestful is committed to the principles of sustainable nature tourism in all our activities and has a cooperation agreement with The Natural Heritage Services of Metsähallitus (governmental agency managing national parks and conservation areas).

All of our services are low-emission, as they are carried out using human-powered movement. However, we recognize that transportation to and from activity locations - both by us and our clients - generates carbon dioxide emissions. We aim to reduce these emissions by carefully planning our own logistics.

​

Our company operates according to strong ethical and moral principles. We do not accept any form of exploitation - commercial, sexual, or otherwise - nor any kind of discrimination. Everyone is welcome. We also offer accessible experiences to ensure inclusivity.

​

We want our guests to feel welcome and to receive full value for their time and expectations. We continuously gather feedback from our clients and use it to improve and develop our services.

Through meaningful and enjoyable nature experiences, we hope to inspire our customers to appreciate and protect the environment in their everyday lives. It is important to us that future generations can also enjoy the richness of our natural world.

​

Sustainability is a natural and integral part of our operations and service chains—because only by acting responsibly can we continue to operate in this field in the future, with a clear conscience.

​

FoRestful is rewarded with a

​

• Good Travel Seal Certification Level 2, Gold (Efforts towards fair and responsible tourism)
