Ride the Waves and Discover Hidden Helsinki by RIB Boat

There’s Helsinki you see on postcards—and then there’s the Helsinki locals know. On this exhilarating RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) ride, you'll discover the city from its most magical vantage point: the sea. Starting at the lively Marina Bay, we’ll gently cruise through the city’s coastal gems like Allas Sea Pool, Uspenski Cathedral, and the sleek, award-winning Löyly design sauna.

As the speed limit signs disappear, so does the calm—we’ll throttle up and ride the waves like the islanders do, heading for the UNESCO-listed Suomenlinna fortress. Along the way, you’ll pass secret bays, icebreaker ships basking in the summer sun, and the glowing beacon of Silo 648—an art installation that lights up more than just the skyline.

Whether it's your first time in Helsinki or your fiftieth, this is the kind of perspective—and rush—you’ll never forget.
