About Us
We’re Aleksi and Jonne, the founders of WildAccess, based in Pirkanmaa, Finland. We share a passion for fishing, hunting, the outdoors, and discovering new places.
WildAccess was born from a simple observation: finding great fishing, hunting, and nature experiences isn’t always easy. Finland and the rest of the Nordic countries are home to incredible destinations and highly skilled local guides and service providers, but information is often scattered across different websites, social media platforms, and personal recommendations.
Our goal is to make these experiences easier to discover and book while helping local guides and service providers reach new customers. We’re building WildAccess to become a Nordic platform—not just a Finnish one—where people can explore and book authentic fishing, hunting, and nature experiences across the region.
We’re developing WildAccess step by step together with our service providers and community. Join us on the journey and discover new ways to experience the Nordic outdoors!
