Worth it! - The cold plunge experience is truly one of a kind, with the initial discomfort of putting on the suit quickly forgotten once you step onto the ice. Walking like a penguin across the frozen surface and floating in the refreshing water feels completely invigorating—trust me, the shallow water makes it easy to ease into at your own pace. It's an unforgettable adventure, and the benefits far outweigh the brief discomfort—waddle on and embrace the chill!

A must in Helsinki - 5 Stars! - What a fantastic, memorable day we had with RedRib. This tour was so unique, interesting, fun and filled with warm hospitality - we were treated as friends - not tourists! Its hard to articulate the extraordinary sensation of travelling through this gorgeous island-dotted region in a small ice-breaking boat - then getting kitted out in the survival suits to walk, play and jump into the ice-filled water ..the floating sensation was other-worldly! The extra bonus was the tour/walk into Simsalo Island, and the most welcome and delicious salmon soup alfresco lunch on board the boat - Finnish perfection!. Make this tour a must-do from Helsinki - thanks again Red Rib

Jump in! - We had a fun afternoon doing this excursion! There was no ice because of how warm it was in Helsinki, but it was still a great time. Very knowledgeable hosts who kept it informative while still being exciting. You get warm wool socks and a warm wool sweater to put on but wear warm layers/socks to wear underneath! Have fun swimming around, floating, and jumping in!

A Survival Hot Tub - Unique and amazing experience! Ollie guide, super friendly and with excellent data from Finland. A tour that was scary but turned out to be quite an adventure! I'd do it again.

Unique experience - Despite the cold temperatures just above freezing, we did not get cold in the suits. We were 45min in the water. A mega relaxing and unique experience!

Well worth it - What an excellent day. It is expensive but well worth the money. It’s a great experience made all the more enjoyable by Olli the instructor who is really interesting to listen to and passionate about his work. A big thank you too Red Rib.

Ice Floating - Fun to Experience - The weather was beautiful for our float. The service was top notch from start to finish. We had a private driver pick us up at our hotel which made the logistics very easy. We met up with the rest of the group at the float spot. It would have been fun to have been able to be in a bigger opening of water, but the conditions didn't allow for it that day and we certainly appreciated that the Redrib crew was concerned first about our safety. The gear was neatly organized, and we quickly were ready in our suits. We didn't feel rushed and got to enjoy the float as long as we wanted. A taxi came to take us back to Helsinki and was able to accommodate different drop off locations. In summary, it was exactly as we expected and it was a great way to start off our visit to Finland.

A unique experience - We had a wonderful time - it is a bit pricey but where else can you have this experience. Karl? drove us to the floating hole and gave us lots of interesting information on Helsinki. The suits made sure we kept dry and warm while in the water and floating was really relaxing - I did have trouble getting into the water but they kindly gave me a push to get me in. Robert? and the rest of the team were very helpful and friendly - I'm glad we chose to do this.

Once in a lifetime experience - We had an amazing time and was a unique experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, provided a nature walk, lunch over an open fire and tour in the hovercraft. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a different way to experience a beautiful area.
