Eine gelungene Sache, wenn man Helsinki auch mal vom Wasser aus sehen möchte, absolut empfehlenswert. Wer allerdings nicht so ganz wetter/windfest ist, dem ist zu empfehlen einen Jacke o.ä. dabeizuhaben....wir hatten ordentichen Wind, der einen irgendwann so durchbläst, dass es einem sehr frisch wird. Der Blick von der Wasserseite lohnt sich auf jden Fall.

The ride along the coast of Helsinki was very relaxing and enjoyable. The crew was nice and helpful. Thankfully, the weather was great. I highly recommend carrying a windproof jacket and a cap even in the summer if you want to sit on the deck. A nice activity also for kids.

Easy to find the location to board the boat. The commentary was excellent. The ride was lovely. The only problem is if you sit on the left or right of the boat you can’t see the view on the other side (without standing on tip toes or moving to to the back) as the seats in the middle are elevated
