Kayaking on the Baltic Sea

ROSE_S, Aug 2025

Saaya was an extremely skilled and knowledgeable kayaker and really brought our mixed group of kayakers together! She made me feel safe and I enjoyed her sharing facts about kayaking, the area, culture, landmarks and the sea with all of us. I loved the experience! I would highly recommend this activity if you love the outdoors and being on the water! Great way to explore Helsinki.

awesome tour

Wonderful Day!

The kayaking trip was a fantastic experience. It was a beautiful day and Sara helped us learn the basics of kayaking and off we went. The provided lunch (sandwiches) was very good. Getting to the paddling facility from the Kamppi district of Helsinki was very easy. Take the M1 line out to Vuosaari and transfer to the 560 bus. The paddling facility is a short walk away from the bus stop.
