Top Helsinki Float Trips

Do not leave Helsinki without trying this. It was fabulous. Matti took us around the harbor pointing out sights and answering all our questions. Then we got in the sauna. It was great. Then we took the plunge into the Baltic. You have to do this. It was so invigorating. I loved learning about Finland’s sauna culture, and Matti could not have been nicer!

It was so refreshing after a long night celebrating a football result haha The suana was different to the electric ones in the uk. It was a traditional wooden fired suana and jumping into the sea was very refreshing. I highly recommend it and the captain was great with me explaining all the sights in english. It was a great experience and a higlight of my holiday.

Matti was great! We loved our sauna boat and would highly recommend. It was a very unique experience and a great way to see the coast while enjoying a very popular Finnish activity.

Just do it. We had such a great time. Our captain Martti (I hope I spelled that correctly) was super nice and gave us a tour of the harbor area while al explaining the benefits of sauna. Sauna is used as both a noun and a verb here in Finland and the wood-fired sauna on this rustic little boat was a lot of fun. While we were apprehensive about the optional plunge into the Baltic sea, it turned out to be a very worthwhile part of the experience. Yes that water is cold, but you will live and be happy after you did it. It was actually raining the day we took our cruise so we did not try the optional paddleboard rental.

Read to the end please….This is a unique opportunity to sauna and to jump to the Baltic in a very nice and safe spot. We were so glad we went! No complaints. Here is my advice: bring your own towel or you will be charged to rent. The on board bathroom is in need of a cleaning and dumping of its contents. The address is wrong on Cool Destinations. Work and communicate directly with the vendor!

Had a great time on the saunaship! Saw some of beautiful Helsinki, then stopped for an hour to rotate between the wood sauna and refreshing ocean swimming. Was a unique experience that we highly enjoyed.

Absolutely loved it! Sauna boat with sea swims was such a unique experience. We loved the wood fired aspect, smelt lovely. Everything you could need for an enjoyable experience! Comfortable sitting area, lots of information guides and sauna books, beautiful views of historic sites around Helsinki. The sauna had lots of water buckets, birch like hitty sticks. We docked at a beautiful spot for bird watching and cold swims. Matti the host was kind, informative and funny. Checked on us and kept the sauna hot. Would recommend!!

This was an excellent experience. Great combination of traditional Finnish sauna, swim in the Baltic Sea and sightseeing cruise.

My mom and I LOVED this! We are from the US and wanted a true Finnish sauna experience and this was it. We sat in the sauna as we cruised a bay and islands and then took a fun dip in the Baltic. So fun and highly recommended. Matti was a great guide who made us feel right at home. Thanks Matti!

This was a fun little excursion. Matti, our guide, was very nice and took a lot of care to make sure we had a great experience. The sauna was nice and even more fun was jumping off the boat and swimming in between.

Amazing experience and guide! Everyone coming to Helsinki should try this once in lifetime experience. Gave so much information on the sights we passed and answered any questions. Lovely location where got to swim and paddleboard and sauna!

This was a unique 2 hr experience that was well worth our limited time in Helsinki. Matti was personable and had lots of good information printed out for us to learn about the areas of interest that we would be going by. He explained the sauna and left us to enjoy ourselves while he steered the custom made saunaship. He anchored in an area for us to take a cold plunge into the Gulf of Finland after coming out of the sauna. That was so exhilarating! Even better, Matti was willing to capture video of it on our phones for perpetuity. We also lucked out that no one else was signed up on this excursion, so we got a private tour!

Thank you so much captain! My partner and family will never forget this experience of sightseeing Helsinki on a Sauna Boat and swimming in the cold waters of the Baltic Sea!

Thank you so much captain! My partner and family will never forget this experience of sightseeing Helsinki on a Sauna Boat and swimming in the cold waters of the Bay of Finland!

This was our favorite excursion during our trip to Finland! The captain was so kind and gave us such a unique experience. The sauna was peaceful and the trip was beautiful. We can even say we got to do a cold plunge in the Baltic Sea! We absolutely recommend this to anyone traveling to Helsinki.
