A good boat trip which incorporated much of Helsinki's abundance of islands. The route was excellent and the views were good but the recorded narration was hard to hear over the boat noise and sometimes difficult to catch the English version amongst the other languages. A 'live' guide would have been preferable.

Helpful?

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
