Review of: Cruise in Puumala by Lake Saimaa
The guide was excellent! Now we know a lot of new things about Finland, its culture, people and of course, about the lake and its seals. I would reccomend it 100%.

Review of: Cruise in Puumala by Lake Saimaa
Lovely trip to find Saimaa ringed seals, which are not easily spotted at this time. Eco-friendly, quiet boat with excellent wiev windows and comfortable seats. Our quide/captain told interesting scientific facts and stories about seals with some video clips. We saw a family of fishing hawks (osprays), but not seals this time. Quide gave us only 20% possibility to see them now in august, in spring time the odds rise up to 90%. Very beautiful weather and scenery with sun set at Saimaa lake though. I higly recommend, this was professionally arranged trip with some coffee, tea and cookies too. 😀 Tanks Arto!…

Review of: Cruise in Puumala by Lake Saimaa
The guide was really friendly and professional. He took us far into the Puumala archipelago. We didnt see a ringed seel this time, but we did see many fine birds and desert rocky islands that could have been photographed and made into a painting. We also enjoyed lovely tea break in the incredibly beautiful scenery of the lake.…

Our guide was excellent! He told us so many interesting details about Saimaa seals. We already knew a lot, but his knowledge was at a professional level. Also, the boat was very suitable for this kind of cruising. It had an electric engine, so it was very quiet and environmentally friendly.…
