We had such a memorable day today! Olli was an AMAZING guide. He took my husband and out on the RIB boat, which felt a lot like riding a jet ski (without getting wet of course). From there we went to a small island where we got to take in the sights, spend time in a wood sauna, have a wonderful Finnish lunch of Salmon soup (prepared by Olli), and just enjoy the beautiful outdoor weather. My husband and I felt safe and in good capable hands all day. We will never forget this excursion and definitely recommend it to anyone coming to Helsinki.

Amazing! Our guide Ollie was informative, knowledgeable, passionate and safe. The weather was a little rough but sometimes the best experiences are the challenging ones. Thanks Ollie for a great lunch (and Redrib Experiences)! Definitely recommend.

Full description

Meet our crew at Café Marina Bay, Kanavaranta 4, 00160 Helsinki. Depart after full passenger equipments and explore the vast archipelago located east of the capital. Discover some of the 170,000 islands by boat as your guide provides more information about local nature and wildlife. See the beautiful islands as we cruise and speed into the archipelago.

Near the outskirts of the archipelago, reach the recreational island where you will disembark the boat and go ashore. Explore the island on a short walking tour and learn more about local flora and fauna. Overlooking the sea, hear more about how the archipelago developed after the last ice age.

Then, enjoy a snack lunch outdoors if the weather allows.

After lunch, enjoy some free time to explore the island. Visit the public sauna for a bath, swim in the sea, or enjoy the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings. Finally, hop back on the boat for the journey back to Helsinki. Drop-off is at the same location from where we started.

We had such a great few hours with our guide Ollie. The sauna experience was amazing. Very Finnish. We were extremely lucky with the weather too. The water was like glass.
