An excursion worth doing! - This trip was really enjoyable and engaging. Arto was a great Guide, told us several stories about the lake and Finland in general. And the coffee break with music was the icing on the cake. Experience absolutely recommended

Amazing experience! - Amazing tour on a ecofriendly, full electric boat that allowed easy talk with the skipper and passegers and to have a chance to approach the seals without disturbing them. The skipper knows really well the history, tradition, culture and the lake itself and he is really kind. A nice cup of tea or coffee with some good live music is the nicest conclusion of this stunning trip. Highly recommended!

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!
