My girlfriend and I wrapped up our European vacation in Helsinki and we scheduled a 3-hour kayaking adventure with these folks. It was a highlight of our trip. Our guide was not only an accomplished kayaker, he was extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding flora and fauna. It was just the three of us out on the water and the beautiful... More

We were looking for something a little different for our BaltiC tour destinations and this really proved a hit with all of us! Our two sons are regular kayakers and my husband had dabbled but I am a true beginner and not a strong swimmer so I was really nervous as but Martti was really helpful in booking our tour... More

My friend and I booked our kayak trip and it was the highlight of our trip to Finland. We spent over three hours paddling around the Finnish coast line taking in all the sights. Our guide was extremely nice and hilarious, even though he is forced to work for his son for free. We got to see and experience a... More

Best way to discover what Helsinki really is: none of vibrant high-culture, high-history places, but a beautiful archipelago surrounded by fascinating nature! Very friendly guide (Martti) passionate about paddling! More

It was a beautiful and calm day, really perfect conditions. Good equipment and life vests geared to your size and needs. They have solo kayaks and tandems.... More

This is a very professionally run establishment. My husband and I did the Helsinki by Kayak tour because we visit family in Helsinki a lot, and wanted to do something new. Included in the price was the option of being picked up and dropped off in the center, which made it very accessible for us. It was raining quite heavily... More

Chose this trip as a break from the city touring we had been doing on our Baltic Sea cruise. What a great choice! This was the best 3 hours of paddling I have ever done! Martti and Outi were phenomenal guides and the group was limited to 8 people making it a very personal experience. Martti was very informative about... More
