About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a RIB boat trip along the stunning Helsinki coastline and soak in the stunning Finnish views. From the moment we depart, you will be treated to Helsinki’s finest landmarks, each viewed from its most breathtaking side: the sea. Passing the Presidential Palace, City Town Hall, Market Square, and Uspenski Cathedral, you will see the historical heart of Helsinki, followed by sights like Allas Sea Pool, where you will hear our skipper’s introduction to local tales and exclusive insights about each landmark.

As we continue, the islands of Harakka, Särkkä, Uunisaari, and Liuskasaari will come into view, situated close to the mainland. Moving on, we pass the Carousel Café and cross a small bay to make a stop outside the strikingly designed Löyly public sauna and restaurant. Here, you might catch the sight of sauna bathers making their way into the sea—a classic Finnish moment not to miss. Then, it’s time to feel the thrill as we open the throttle, heading towards the spectacular Suomenlinna fortress islands. With 300 islands forming the archipelago, Helsinki’s seascape opens up beautifully in front of you. We slow down to glide through the passage between Vallisaari and Suomenlinna, passing sights like the historical dry dock, the submarine Vesikko, and the King's Gate. Here, you will hear more about this UNESCO World Heritage Site’s fascinating history.

Leaving Suomenlinna, we pass Vasikkasaari, Koivusaari, and Saunasaari, all showcasing Finnish summer cottage colonies, a dedicated sauna island, and Santahamina, a military base still in use today. Crossing Kruunuvuorenselkä Bay, we begin our journey back to the starting point, with unforgettable memories of Helsinki’s iconic coastline.
