Nallikari, the heart of seaside Oulu, offers both natural and cultural landscapes. It is accessible during all seasons and effortlessly explorable on a fatbike: the perfect vehicle for zooming through varied terrains all year round.

This is a private safari exclusively for your group; there will be no other participants. We open the safari by request. Please contact us by email (info@nallikarisafaris.fi) and specify your preferred dates, after which we will open the days for booking if our guides are available!

Welcome to our beginner-friendly Fatbike Safari, starting from our Nallikari Experience Center. The starting point is easily accessible on foot from Oulu city centre or by bus.

During the safari, you’ll experience the exhilarating freedom of fatbiking. Thanks to their wide tires, fatbikes glide effortlessly over soft sand and snow, making them perfect for year-round adventures. In winter, the route may lead you onto the frozen sea right next to the city. In summer, you’ll ride along Nallikari’s golden beaches, with the blue sea creating a stunning backdrop.

From October to March, you can also book an evening safari (starting after 9 PM), where we ride through the darkness with handlebar lamps. On lucky nights, we may even see the starry sky or the magical Northern Lights.

The route combines natural trails and cycling paths through the coastal and forest landscapes of Hietasaari and possibly the culturally rich Pikisaari area. Along the way, our guide will share stories and local insights.

This is an authentic Finnish outdoor experience!

The Fatbike Safari is suitable for anyone with basic fitness. Join us and discover Oulu’s hidden gems, just a few pedal strokes away from the city.
