Summary:
My husband and I had to most amazing experience with Olai (spelling?) on the 3 hour Archipelago Experience 1 with RedRib. We toured by islands, the old forts, charming homes, the new bridge, experienced the speed of the rib boat and stopped for a traditional sauna and plunge in the sea (repeat, repeat, repeat). The sauna experience is not to be missed! This is not just a super fun tourist activity but an immersion in Finish culture. Olai was extremely nice and informative - we talked his ear off! Excellent guide and tour and we can highly recommend it!

Summary:
What a fun, informational, and local experience this was. The boat ride alone was so exciting and felt very safe. Olli was our tour guide and he made the trip EXCEPTIONAL. Excellent driver but he also shared so much detail about the islands, culture, Helsinki the city, and helped us with sharing a sauna with some locals. The sauna experience felt so authentic and paired with the surprisingly really good soup we had after, felt like we really got a true experience of hanging in nature and enjoying a Finnish norm. This tour made my visit !
