Unique experience in the Baltic Sea !! - Booked this excursion because it looked special and unique. has exceeded all expectations. super cool people from Calle who picked us up at the hotel, Marko who guided and explained us the entire time to Robert who drove the craft. big compliments to this organization. Really worth the money for those who want something slightly different than the standard excursions. Best regards Patrick and Katrien.

Hovercraft adventure on the Archipelago - Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our hovercraft ride on the archipelago and swim in the icy waters . Leif our guide and Robert our hovercraft pilot looked after our every need! We had a hike on an island in the snow, followed by the most delicious Salmon soup, coffee and tea by the fire. Then we finished off with our ice swim, the survival suits kept us warm and dry and it was very relaxing floating amongst the ice. We learned a lot about finish lifestyle and culture from Lief! Highly recommend this tour in Helsinki they looked after us from start to finish and even provided the clothing needed to keep us warm and comfortable for the adventure!

Unique experience - Everyone was great. The hovercraft was a lot of fun to drift along the ice in. The salmon soup for lunch was delicious. We were able to walk around the island, but did not see any wildlife. Leif was extremely informative, explaining everything from cold water survival to the "everyman's right" to nature access. My 14 y/o really enjoyed it.

Our expectations were high and they were even exceeded - We booked the tour with the hovercraft through the archipelago and swimming in the ice water with survival suits. To say it right away, our expectations were high and they were even exceeded. Both the tour guide and the experienced driver of the hovercraft were super friendly, very helpful and very pleasant. It was an incredible experience to step into the ice-cold water in front of the edge of the ice and spend almost an hour there without freezing in dreamlike nature and wonderful silence. The ride in the 6-seater hovercraft was also a great experience. For lunch on one of the 1000 islands, the two of them cooked us a delicious salmon soup and there were other little things to eat and drink. We can really recommend the tour, it was fantastic and somehow unreal.

Beautiful experience! - Beautiful experience! Sailing with a hovercraft in the frozen sea is truly special. Bathing in a survival suit is also very fun (and safe). Very good lunch enjoyed on a desert island! The price is not cheap, but the experience is worth it!

Incredible experience- thoroughly recommend! - We had a wonderful experience- Robert and Essi were excellent hosts. Floating in the ice was amazing and the hovercraft was really fun. It was a really personal tour and we felt so looked after. The food was delicious (plus bonus chocolate!) and it was a great way to experience the Finnish countryside. Collection to and from our hotel was really convenient. Would massively recommend.
