Helsinki highlights, Fortress Island and floating sauna

Discover Finland through history, geopolitics and one of the world’s most iconic traditions, the sauna!

You’ll explore how history, geography, climate and politics have shaped modern Finnish society, and why Finland consistently ranks as the “Happiest Country in the World”. You’ll also learn why Finland has more saunas than cars, why silence is valued, and how trust and equality shape one of the world’s most functional societies. The tour concludes with an authentic Finnish sauna experience, the cornerstone of Finnish culture for over a thousand years.

After the heat of the sauna, guests have the opportunity to try ice dipping, stepping directly into cold water as Finns have done for generations. This contrast of heat and cold is invigorating, grounding and unforgettable, and for many, the highlight of their time in Finland. Leave with a real understanding of Finland, not just what it looks like, but how it feels.

Important to know

Know in advance:

  • Regarding the sauna, remember there is no pressure to go into the cold water or to push yourself too hard in the sauna. Many people feel a little nervous, particularly with the cold-water dip, but we will be there to guide, advise, and encourage you every step of the way
  • Remember, no one will be fully naked, and you can bring a towel into the sauna to cover yourself if you would like; it is seen as very normal. You don't have to do anything you are not 100% comfortable with; the goal is to have fun and make great memories
