Overview

Discover Helsinki from the sea on a 90-minute guided RIB boat tour combining city sights, archipelago scenery, and high-speed adventure.

Pass Helsinki’s new maritime residential districts and the striking Kruunuvuorensilta bridge. Continue toward Katajanokka to see the Finnish icebreakers moored in the harbor for their summer break. Return to the Redrib Hub after the tour.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Helsinki City and Archipelago Guided RIB Boat Tour?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
