Why you’ll love this…

The tour offers an exciting journey across Arctic Helsinki either by hovercraft or ice-breaking steel boat
There will be a chance to appreciate the profound silence of the archipelago while floating atop icy waters
This is a fully equipped adventure, with warm clothing and safety gear provided for your comfort

What to expect

Explore the Arctic Helsinki directly from the comfort of your Helsinki city hotel. Depending on the conditions, you'll either drive a hovercraft across solid ice conditions or an ice-breaking steel boat in times when the sea starts to freeze. Watching the ice breaking under the steel boat is as great of a thrill as flying low over the sea in a hovercraft.

Once parked on the ice or on an island, the silence of the archipelago is breathtaking. Floating around on top of ice-cold water is the best experience! An island nature trail walk and a picnic lunch are enjoyed after the float.

At the hub in Gumbostrand, you'll be provided with warm clothing for the day and safety equipment. You can arrive in your usual winter clothing, and you'll be provided with everything you need for the tour!
