About us

Established in 2010

Jongunjoen Matkailu is a family-owned business founded in 2010 by two passionate nature enthusiasts. After gaining extensive experience in the nature travel industry in different parts of the world, we decided to settle down and create our own company amidst the stunning wilderness of Eastern Finland. 

We have been designing and delivering authentic and safe experiences in North Karelia for our guests for more than 15 years. 

We speak multiple languages and have extensive experience working in international environments, making it easy for us to connect with guests from all around the world. 

We look forward to your stay!
