A true Finnish Sauna experience - My mom and I LOVED this! We are from the US and wanted a true Finnish sauna experience and this was it. We sat in the sauna as we cruised a bay and islands and then took a fun dip in the Baltic. So fun and highly recommended. Matti was a great guide who made us feel right at home. Thanks Matti!

An awesome and unique excursion not to be missed! - This was a unique 2 hr experience that was well worth our limited time in Helsinki. Matti was personable and had lots of good information printed out for us to learn about the areas of interest that we would be going by. He explained the sauna and left us to enjoy ourselves while he steered the custom made saunaship. He anchored in an area for us to take a cold plunge into the Gulf of Finland after coming out of the sauna. That was so exhilarating! Even better, Matti was willing to capture video of it on our phones for perpetuity. We also lucked out that no one else was signed up on this excursion, so we got a private tour!
