Great experience
It was actually not really icy anymore but still a great way to explore Helsinki with a nice group and a great guide, perfect activity for a Saturday with a friend or two.

Who Gets to Kayak the Finnish Archipelago? We Did!
Michele and I took leave of our ocean cruise to kayak the Finnish Archipelago. Of all our experiences while visiting 10 countries during 20 days abroad, this was a Top 3 highlight! The setting was unforgettably beautiful. And it was so serene on the water. Natura Viva provides the best equipment. Our guide, Tinna, made sure we knew how to use it. Good thing, as we went out WAY farther and longer than I expected. Who gets to do this? We did!
