The perfect guide for a beautiful experience - Arto was an excellent guide and kindly answered all our questions about Saimaa Lake, the seals and the Finnish lifestyle in general. The boat was super comfortable, cozy and well prepared for the rain. He offered us hot coffee, tea, sweets and sole folk music with his accordion 🎵 Super recommended, one of our best experiences in Finland so far. Don't think it twice and book your tour with Arto!!

Amazing activity - It has been an unforgettable experience. Arto told us many interesting things, both about the lake and the seals and answering all our questions about Finland. The conversation was super enjoyable and the boat tour, very fun. And a very comfortable and at the same time welcoming boat. The music and snack were also great ☺️ Mandatory activity if you are in the area, you will not regret it!

Easy going and so relaxing! - It was my first solotravel holiday and I was little bit nervous to go by myself. Arto was so nice and funny that it was easy for me to relax on a boat eventually. There were some foreign travelers, so Arto did the tour with english, and that was fine for me. Arto's stories were interesting and he played some music with his instrument. We all got some binoculars to see birds nest. There were also some coffee, tee and buns to eat. Thank you, maybe someday I'm coming back to the beautiful Saimaa!

Great experience for the whole family - We were looking for a tour at Saimaa lake suitable for families with small children and ended up with a 90 minute tour with Arto. Arto is very knowledgeable and a great host. He played wonderful music for us while we enjoyed coffee, cake and the beautiful scenery. Even without seal sightings a memorable excursion for everyone. We can highly recommend the trip, also with young kids!

Top experience in eco boat with Arto - Arto is a Guide who has a lot of knowledge. He answers almost every question you have, often with footage (projector on board). In a cozy and friendly atmosphere he took us with his electric boat to the most beautiful places of part of Lake Saimaa. We enjoyed and will never forget this special trip.

Wonderful summertrip ! - Great opportunity to see how vendace is been trawled by fisherman in great lake Saimaa, Lietvesi. Enjoy wiews of the lake lake Lietvesi Saimaa and have a once in a lifetime experience, or maybe twice if you want.
