In the heart of Häme, the land of a thousand lakes, fishing is more than just a hobby – it’s an opportunity to embrace silence, enjoy fresh air, and adapt to nature’s pace. Fishing experiences offer visitors a peaceful escape from the daily hustle and bustle, allowing all of your senses to focus on the surrounding nature.
Häme is the perfect destination for anyone looking to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The region’s vast bodies of water offer both scenic beauty and peace of mind for fishing enthusiasts. If you’re lucky, you might reel in a perch or pike – but often, the journey itself is more important than the catch.
Guided fishing tours ensure a smooth and safe experience
SeastarEvents Oy is one of the most experienced fishing companies in the region, offering low-threshold guided fishing tours for both beginners and experienced fishing enthusiasts. According to Vesa Meritähti, the entrepreneur behind SeastarEvents, fishing tours are first and foremost a holistic nature experience:
“For many customers, the best thing about a fishing tour is not just the catch, but the silence, the peace and quiet of nature, and the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.”
The fishing tours last 2–4 hours. They are always planned according to the participants and their wishes, and all the necessary equipment and guidance are included. Finland requires fishing permits, which can also be obtained in advance on behalf of the customer, if necessary.
“Our fishing tours offer a low-threshold opportunity to explore Finnish nature and waters safely and easily,” says Meritähti.
Before the tour, participants are given a clearly written information pack to help them prepare for the fishing experience. The information pack contains instructions on equipment, weather-appropriate clothing, and practical arrangements. The tours can be conducted in English and will also introduce you to the principles of sustainable fishing in Finland.
SeastarEvents fishing tours are provided in accessible locations: for example, Hämeenlinna is just an hour away from Helsinki by train. Hämeenlinna train station is close to the tour sites, and customers can be picked up from the station if necessary.
Year-round experiences – fishing combines tranquillity and adventure
Fishing in Häme’s waters is an unforgettable experience in any season. In summer, you can top off your day by the water by cooking fresh fish right in the heart of nature.
In winter, the fishing tours take you onto a frozen lake, where ice fishing offers a peaceful and unique nature experience. Hear the snow crunch beneath your feet and the ice creak as you drill your own hole in the ice. In that moment, you’ll feel an instant connection to nature, peace and quiet, and the present moment.
Whether you’re on your own, with friends, or enjoying time with family, fishing tours in Häme provide a perfect opportunity for you to unwind and be fully present with all your senses. They remind you of what it feels like to slow down and reconnect with nature.
