  This experience was amazing from beginning to end! The whole crew was great. I never thought I would add floating in a survival suit in the freezing Baltic to my list of experiences. But to add to that, we got to our floating location aboard a boat that can break up ice and glided along that ice sheet in what I've taken to calling "Our Teletubbie Suits." But even that wasn't the end of the adventure --- we took a joy ride on a hovercraft! We finished off our excursion with a light lunch on the boat dock and a walk on the island of Simsalo. Olli gave us a peek into life in an area of Finland that comes alive in the summer and is hushed in the winter. It was a unique and fun adventure. I feel like we saw a part of Finland that many visitors don't typically see.

  I had the most amazing time during the ice experience. The scenery was magnificent, and I loved floating in the icy water. The fellow group participants were lovely, and the group size was perfect. Everyone involved in running the event was wonderful: Olli, Carl-Johan, Kennett, Robert, Kim, and Leif (apologies if I may have missed anyone or misspelt any names). Thank you all so much for such a memorable experience.

• Must do once in a lifetime experience.

  Must do- this is an absolutely fantastic experience! From the exhilaration of standing on the edge of an ice sheet to the relaxed floating in icy waters amongst the floating ice. Simply amazing. Ollie our guide was fantastic. And thanks to Sam, very handy with the icebreaker boat & photo taking and of course Rob with hovercraft skills!

• One of a kind experience!

  We had a great time on our excursion and were very well taken care of by Olli and the team! His salmon soup was delicious and the floating in the survival suit was a one of a kind experience. They even took pictures of us while we were out in the water and sent them to us that same evening. Our family, including kids 8, 9 and 10 loved every minute of the trip - I highly recommend it!

  Booked this excursion because it looked special and unique. has exceeded all expectations. super cool people from Calle who picked us up at the hotel, Marko who guided and explained us the entire time to Robert who drove the craft. big compliments to this organization. Really worth the money for those who want something slightly different than the standard excursions. Best regards Patrick and Katrien.

  Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our hovercraft ride on the archipelago and swim in the icy waters . Leif our guide and Robert our hovercraft pilot looked after our every need! We had a hike on an island in the snow, followed by the most delicious Salmon soup, coffee and tea by the fire. Then we finished off with our ice swim, the survival suits kept us warm and dry and it was very relaxing floating amongst the ice. We learned a lot about finish lifestyle and culture from Lief! Highly recommend this tour in Helsinki they looked after us from start to finish and even provided the clothing needed to keep us warm and comfortable for the adventure!

  Everyone was great. The hovercraft was a lot of fun to drift along the ice in. The salmon soup for lunch was delicious. We were able to walk around the island, but did not see any wildlife. Leif was extremely informative, explaining everything from cold water survival to the "everyman's right" to nature access. My 14 y/o really enjoyed it.

• Our expectations were high and they were even exceeded

  We booked the tour with the hovercraft through the archipelago and swimming in the ice water with survival suits. To say it right away, our expectations were high and they were even exceeded. Both the tour guide and the experienced driver of the hovercraft were super friendly, very helpful and very pleasant. It was an incredible experience to step into the ice-cold water in front of the edge of the ice and spend almost an hour there without freezing in dreamlike nature and wonderful silence. The ride in the 6-seater hovercraft was also a great experience. For lunch on one of the 1000 islands, the two of them cooked us a delicious salmon soup and there were other little things to eat and drink. We can really recommend the tour, it was fantastic and somehow unreal.
