During an island stop you can take a 1 hour walk around Vallisaari former military islands, now open to the public. There are cafés and good info signs along the way for a self-guided walking tour.

One of the best experiences of our life. Our guide Olli was simply masterful in handling the whole thing, and in keeping it engaging and interesting. Would recommend it 100%.
Thank you for those very kind words! We're thrilled to hear this was one of the best experiences of your life! We hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future!
Leif and Olli and Kapua were amazing. We had a ton of fun cruising around the seas. Definitely recommend taking one of their boating options: we chose the offshore experience and it was outstanding.
Thank you very much for your great review! Offshore is also the plan B when the weather turns challenging. This way we always have good weather :) Thank you for coming and welcome back again! -Leif
We would have to cancel the tour in June due to corona. Everything went without problems, you payment is promptly transferred back and the communication ran in German also via WhatsApp totally friendly! In September we were finally able to start our tour. The guide also spoke German and explained everything to us and answered our many questions. The tour was just great! (We were also lucky that we were the only two guests). You get all the equipment provided and you absolutely do not freeze even at low temperatures! The tour takes you along the spots of Helsinki and then between the many small islands in front. On one you moor and have the opportunity to explore it on your own. Therefore you can see both the city and nature. So I can only recommend the tour - it's great fun when no other boat can keep up and you float over the waves and take off at times! Thanks for the great day!
Vielen Dank für die sehr nette Bewertung! Es mach immer wieder Spaß mit freundlichen Leuten unterwegs zu sein, die auch unsere Archipelago schätzchen. Herzlich willkommen wieder! -Leif
Perfect and super fun experience! Everything went as agreed and we have great time! I can highly recommend this to all and as a part of recreation day this was very appreciated part of it. Everybody enjoyed!
Thanks for coming along and for enjoying our tour! Always nice with nice people onboard.
Perfect morning with Jukka in Helsinki! We wanted to find something adventurous and fun for our stop in Helsinki and this hit the spot! Jukka was a fantastic guide, sharing his beautiful city and speeding around the islands around Helsinki for a safe but exhilarating ride. Leif arranged the trip for us to easily find the boat walking distance from the cruise. So happy we booked this!
Thanks for coming and for the great review! The archipelago is indeed the perfect escape from anything. A few hours out there and itś like a mini vacation. Welcome back! -Leif
Impressing teenagers can be tough. Museum after museum. Church after church on our Baltic Cruise. I knew we needed to mix it up. This was the PERFECT choice. It was a cold, windy day (high was 53F), so we were nervous on our walk to the boat. Once we got to the dock, our fears were relieved. Full coverage high tech wind suits. Climb in, zip up, tighten all the loose ends, and we were set! Off we went, flying and bouncing through the choppy water. The seats have hydraulics so a lot of the bumps were absorbed, but not so much that you didn't feel the thrill of this ride. Around the outside of the city with brief descriptions of the major buildings there, and then we zoomed off again. We loved hitting the open water, and the kids kept telling him to go faster! This was such a great break for us. We got to the island, and with a little encouragement, removed the wind suits (so cold now!) and headed out to explore. A stop for coffee and the facilities and we were set. The island is beautiful! Do some research before you go and you will understand why you shouldn't go off the path. Just enjoy it. Tons of pics, a loop around the island, and back to the boat. A zooming roundabout trip back to the dock, and we had to bring our adventure to an end. What a great day! While others were complaining about the cold, windy temps, we had a wild adventure out on the water while still staying warm. Can't beat it!
We are so glad you enjoyed the tour and decided to go "off track" on our Helsinki Experience 2 tour. Helsinki has nice museums too and the great public library Oodi, but the archipelago and the wild nature just outside the doorstep is something else. A archipelago escape tour that doesn´t taker the whole day. Something big metropoles just cannot offer. The protecting suits and gear onboard enables to enjoy the experience no matter what the weather. We are glad that you all enjoyed and got the experience on the spot! -Leif
