Highlights

Escape the city and spend a day with the locals on their private summer cottage island. Combine it with the thrill of riding a rigid RIB boat! We visit their stunning island with its silky smooth cliffs. Meet the lovely family hosts, just taking a brake from their ordinary summer holiday to open up their private summer cottage for us. Hear all about cottage life, fishing and World War II history. Try the sauna with its breath taking view. Take a guided nature walk and hear all about swimming moose and blueberries. Sit down on warm cliffs and enjoy the home made archipelago lunch on this relaxed day. Just like the locals. With the locals. The RIB boat takes you back to the city in 30 min after this mini vacation.

About Helsinki

Helsinki is Finland's capital on the Baltic, a compact seaside city of neoclassical squares, Art Nouveau streets, design shops and saunas.

The white neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral looks down on Senate Square, and the red-brick Uspenski Cathedral stands on a rocky headland to the east. Carl Ludvig Engel planned the city centre in the early nineteenth century after Finland passed to Russia, and Art Nouveau houses line the streets of Katajanokka and Eira. The Market Square on the harbour front has stalls of fish, berries and crafts, with the Old Market Hall nearby.

Top-ranked sights in Helsinki: Helsinki Senate Square (Senaatintori), Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki Central Library Oodi.
