Unforgettable Helsinki: Panoramic Canal Cruise Adventure

Great boat tour and very thorough. We enjoyed our time on the tour. Easy to find at the waterfront docks.

Booked in advance online. Easy to find the start point. The boat we took was clean and quiet. The boat left right on time and as advertised the cruise lasted 90 minutes. All round a nice experience.

Nice, leisurely tour on a comfortable boat seeing sights around the harbor. I would prefer a live narrator talking about the sights over a canned audio track, but it worked fine.

The route is beautiful, passing islands, though narrow straits and a short canal. I really enjoyed the trip on a beautiful, sunny morning. The taped commentary was difficult to hear, but the script was available to read online, and at least it wasn’t loud enough to be intrusive on the experience. Biggest negative was the tendency of other passengers to stand up whenever anything interesting came into view, so we couldn’t see it. Overall, this was a really good trip and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Helsinki.

A must do! We went in July, we stayed on the upper/outside deck even tho the weather was a bit dissapointing so even if it would rain you could still enjoy the tour! Even tho we stayed outside it was still a very relaxing and nice tour, would for sure recommend this especially when the weather is good!

This was such a beautiful cruise with amazing commentary the whole ride. There was plenty of seating inside and outside, along with a bathroom, bar and food for purchase. The ride was smooth the whole way, we saw so much of the islands in one cruise. It was fun having to have the top deck cleared to go under the bridges, it was so close we could reach up and touch them! But the crew made sure we were all lower and safe from hitting them. The crew also answered all of our questions and were very polite.

Good solo couple of hours activity! Go here when you do have spare time, quite simple tour 1.5 hours long that passes you by islands and speaks about their history; good picturesque for sure. Some beverages on board available. Good service and timing options and quite low cost.

We were blessed with good weather and the tour did not disappoint. Great tour of the archipelago and good value for money.

It was a great way to get our bearings and hear some history. It was a nice ride. It was difficult to hear though.

I read reviews that stated you couldn’t hear the commentary over the loud speaker but we thought it was great- it is not a live explanation of what you are saying and also it is narrated in four languages. However we enjoyed this boat trip as it allowed us to see Helsinki in a different light and also learn a bit more about its role in securing Helsinki. The tour also was only 90 minutes long so perfect for us to get a feel for Helsinki from the waterways.
