Haltia offers rental gear and equipment for all types of outdoor recreation. Proper gear makes outdoor activities comfortable in any weather and the right kind of high-quality equipment is safe. Renting is eco-friendly, and you need not keep the gear unused in storage for long periods of time. This saves storage space and you have always access to fresh equipment that fits you, and is in good condition. Our staff will advise you on how to use the gear and helps with choosing the right equipment for each purpose.
Rental equipment can be collected from the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia during opening hours all year.
Try before you buy!
Renting allows you to try hiking and see what it feels like, and you can test the products before deciding to buy them. If you choose to purchase the rented product from us after use, the rental cost will be refunded in the purchase price of a new similar product.
Tents
Different excursions require different tents, which makes renting an excellent option – you can always choose the shelter that best suits your needs on your next outing. A tunnel tent is lightweight and easy to carry, but if you intend to travel to the destination by car or maybe in a canoe, why not choose a fun Tentsile hammock!
Backpacks
A good backpack is essential in making your hike a success. Rent a backpack to test it in action and try out different types of backpacks on different excursions to find the right one for you. When you find the perfect backpack, you can buy it from us – we’ll refund the rental price in the purchase price.
Day packs
A backpack is recommended even for short hikes. It is ideal for taking along at least a water bottle and snacks, plus a map, compass and other hiking essentials that are good to take along. A good backpack ensures a comfortable, successful hike and keeps your gear safe and organized.
Child carriers
A child carrier is a safe and comfortable way for the youngest members of the family to enjoy the great outdoors and the calming beauty of nature. A child carrier enables you to take slightly longer day trips with young children, as they will not need to walk the whole way. When you opt for a rented child carrier, the gear will not take up space at home when the child gets too big to use it.
Sleeping bags and pads
A right type of high-quality sleeping bag for each trip will help you get a good night’s sleep after spending the day in the great outdoors. Finland’s climate poses special challenges for sleeping outdoors, as it is hot in summer and cold in winter. A rented sleeping bag will meet your specific needs at each time and you need not concern yourself with sleeping bag maintenance or storage.
Cooking
A good picnic makes even the shortest trip a real adventure. Rent a coffee pot and a pancake pan, or if you are planning a proper feast, rent our epic wilderness kitchen! A light camping stove is ideal for a hiking trip. You can cook with it anywhere, even if there is no official fireplace. Our staff will show you how to use the camping stove before you set off on your adventure.
Other equipment
Is it raining? Not a problem! Rent a poncho and make your costume water proof.
Fatbike rental at Haltia
A Fatbike is a quick way to get rolling, and you get to see a lot even in a short timeframe. Haltia offers Fatbikes of various sizes for rent – for a couple of hours, a day or 24 hours. We also organize guided two-hour Fatbike tours in Nuuksio – a great option if you are trying out fatbiking for the first time or this is your first visit to Nuuksio!
