Unique and Adventurous - What a wonderful way to see the islands around Helsinki. From sightseeing, to hiking and enjoying time in an island where they provided lunch and the chance to use a sauna was amazing. We finished off by speed boating back to the city. Felt safe the entire time and the costs they provided kept us warm too. 5 stars!

Best thing we did in Helsinki ! - Incredible experience! We went without knowing much of what we were walking into. Everything was taken care of and foreseen. We were given snowsuits to keep warm and ski goggles. The boat is very stable and we felt safe at all times. The views were beautiful and our guide Olli was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He also spoke great English and was very attentive. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend!

Exciting trip - Fantastic day out. We were so lucky with the weather and after a gentle ride out to the island we were able to go ashore, light the sauna and enjoy a swim. After a great lunch we had a really exciting ride through some fairly big waves back to Helsinki. Our guide Ollie was excellent and we would highly recommend this trip. Definitely the highlight of our visit.

Cool speedboat trip - The trip was great, nice guide who told us all about the area and cooked a nice meal at the island. Can definitely recommend doing this as the speedboat can get you far out to remote islands and it is also fun.

A lot of fun. - So much fun! Ollie was our guide and boat driver. Spoke great English. Had to wear waterproof jackets and lifejackets provided by Ollie. Load our personal belongings into waterproof bag. Getting into rib boat was easy, 6 in front and a few in back. Seats were kind of like sitting on a saddle with hand holds in front. Took off out harbour fairly slowly through a couple of islands and then Ollie opened it up and we roared along at speed. We went to a small island "beach". It wasn't a "beach" just a rocky outcrop with a pier. At 63 it was hard to get out of boat onto pier as it was 4 ft higher than boat with only a big nail sticking out for leverage. Got hauled out like a sack of potatoes. (be warned!). Thanks to my haulers. Island was lovely. Ollie set up sauna then swim (hell no, too bloody cold) for folks, took us for a walk around the island which had stunning views and wild strawberries, blueberries and mushrooms, then set up a delicious picnic lunch. Lovely salads with shrimp mayo appetizer with berries and Finnish chocolate. Sorry Ollie, Finnish chocolate is good, but Lindt is better. Spent about 2 hours on Island then zoomed like crazy back across the archipelago to harbour. I think I was an inch shorter when we got back with the pounding of the boat Ha, Ha! Would do it all again but requires the ability to do a bit of climbing and not for anyone with spinal issues. Highly recommend.

REDRIB Nature Reserve Experience 2023 - Leif runs a a highly professional organisation. His attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is superb. Excellent. From the moment we set off on the RIB boat, the serene beauty of the Finnish archipelago took my breath away. Leif, my knowledgable guide, provided fascinating insights about the local wildlife and ecosystems, making the journey both educational and awe-inspiring. This nature reserve island tour was an unforgettable adventure that allowed me to connect with nature in a profound way.
