Survival Suit Fun in the Baltic Sea - Wow, that was definitely an experience. I was extremely nervous before we started walking on the ice and getting in the water, but the guide was so reassuring that we forgot fears and trusted the suits. This is something you need to try

Must do in Helsinki - It’s so much fun! The suits keep you warm and it’s a lot of fun swimming in them. Our hosts were friendly and entertaining.

Breaking through ice and overcoming fears. Great training experience. - The training team was patient and encouraging. The first time I have done this so we were a little scared. The team put us at ease and we quickly built confidence in the survival suits. Soon we were jumping on the ice to breakthrough. I was concerned about how I would get out of the water and back on solid ice. The instructor explained his technique and it made exiting very easy. I would definitely try this if you have a chance.

Do it! - Ollie was a wonderful guide and the experience was amazing! We all really enjoyed swimming in the icy Baltic Sea and really didn’t feel the cold. It was a unique experience that my family will hold dear in our memories!

Olli was incredible!! - This was the MOST fun. Olli was so knowledgeable and a great guide. He made sure we were completely safe while we were on the ice. 10/10 experience. They give you extra socks, mittens, and sweaters. I was so warm in the suit it was almost too warm. I would definitely do this again! Highlight of our trip to Helsinki.

Amazing! Especially when there’s ice! - Absolutely fabulous experience in the ice! Ollie looked after us (two women in their 60s) so well and after some relaxing floating amongst the ice we felt brave enough to try walking on the ice until it cracked and broke and we were in the water with the survival suits doing their job brilliantly. Just the best experience
