Helsinki City Tour by Kayak

Why walk around the city when you can paddle? Take this fun and unique Helsinki tour for unique views of the city few tourists encounter. No previous paddling experience is necessary. This is a great way to try something new while sightseeing in Helsinki.

Begin your tour at Finlandia Hall. Designed by local architect Alvar Aalto, this multi-purpose venue has hosted concerts, exhibitions, and several world congresses. Next, see the world-class Opera House and various late 19th century villas. From there, you'll continue along the shoreline to the renowned Ice Breaker fleet. These nine ships help keep the majority of the country's ice-bound ports open year round. Pass the Korkeasaari Zoo, one of Finland's top attractions, home to about two hundred animals. Learn about popular areas of interest on the relaxing paddle back to Finlandia Hall.

On this Helsinki tour, you'll be provided with an expert tour guide, kayak, paddle, spray skirt, and life jacket. The kayaks are very stable and your friendly guide will show you how to manuever around in the water. On this tour, you'll see some of Helsinki's most popular attractions, all from the water. Book now and get ready to paddle your way through some serious fun.
