This unforgettable walk takes you through stunning coastal landscapes, lush Arctic summer nature, and vibrant city life — all bathed in the golden light of the northern night that never gets dark. Experience the unique atmosphere of the Midnight Sun, when both the city and nature stay awake.
Led by an experienced local nature guide, this magical Arctic Summer & Midnight Sun walking tour starts from Oulu city centre and leads to the seaside resort of Nallikari, returning to the city via a different scenic route. Along the way, discover Oulu’s lifestyle, culture, and history while enjoying the calm yet lively rhythm of northern summer.
The route passes through beautiful nature areas and important bird habitats, where hundreds of birds gather during the breeding season, offering excellent opportunities for wildlife observation. Listen to the gentle sounds of flowing, crystal-blue water, observe local wildlife, and see how locals enjoy summer in the north — relaxed, outdoors, and close to nature.

The tour explores the scenic Oulu River Delta, the historic wooden houses of Pikisaari, the peaceful forests of Hietasaari, the shores of the Bothnian Bay, and the famous Nallikari seaside resort. We continue through the historic Toppila ship port area, now transforming into one of Oulu’s most modern districts, before returning to the city along another picturesque trail through stunning river delta landscapes.
This tour is ideal for travellers who enjoy outdoor activities and longer walks, thoughtfully balanced with relaxing breaks and small snacks along the way. Perfect for solo travellers, couples, families, and small groups looking for an authentic Arctic summer experience.
