Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- sprulyphColumbia, SC45 contributionsOur family of three did the "Helsinki by Kayak" guided tour of about 3 hours' length. We've done a very tiny bit of kayaking before on very calm waters, but are pretty close to being beginners, so we can say that this tour is (as they say in their promo materials) perfectly suitable for those with little or no kayaking experience. Aniinna was our guide and she was fantastic, very friendly, informative, and watching out for how we were doing at all times.
The tour started on the body of water near the "Long Bridge," just in front of the Botanical Garden, went west under a railroad bridge into a bigger bay with fantastic views of downtown Helsinki buildings, then we went east into other bays, beached on a small city island for a snack (which they provided) and bathroom break, and paddled into slightly more industrial parts which was fun too. Other than when the weather got a bit rainy and windy near the end requiring us to paddle a little harder, the waters were generally super gentle and easy to glide around.
This tour gives you a wonderful perspective on the city that you can't experience in any other way. The waters in and around Helsinki are so integral to the geography and the very nature of the city that you will come to a deeper "feeling" for the city if you participate in this tour. For our family I can say we will never forget this experience. And again, we are pretty close to being kayaking rookies. Natura Viva seems like a great outfit, run by folks with a great love for their land and the desire to share that with visitors.Written 25 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The equipment is good, staff very nice and friendly, prices not too high. Töölönlahti area is very lovely when seen from the sea! I would say this is Helsinki at its best in the summer!Written 24 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Senni JEspoo, Finland49 contributionsI participated to windsurfing course with my friend. I hadn't any previous experience so it was a bit exciting. The teacher was super friendly, professonal and most patient ever! I really recommend this to anyone that wants to try and learn something new! I learned a lot and want to try it again. The concept is genius - you can test how well did you learn - 2 hours of windsurfing board hire is included in the course price!Written 9 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lindsay TCambridge, UK20 contributionsIt was such a peaceful experience to spend a couple of hours paddling around Seurasaari; I would do it again in a heartbeat. Kajus was very friendly and helpful in getting us started. My thanks go out to him for a truly unforgettable experience!Written 25 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dino YMajuro, Marshall Islands4 contributionsOne of Helsinki's best hidden gems. Good for relaxing on a summer day or when the mood strikes you. No appointment necessary. After walking all over the city, I came upon SUP Finland by accident. With my legs tired from walking, SUP Finland made me forget why my legs were tired in the first place. With Miriam's supervision, I was standing on the board the whole time, paddling away. Miriam is super awesome! She will teach you the basics if you have never done stand-up paddle boarding before. If I was living in Finland, this place would've been my "go to," every day or every weekend.Written 24 December 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nbskdHelsinki, Finland36 contributionsI went there for a paddleboarding newbie experience. The young staff were nice and helpful, the equipment seemed new and we got the necessary information on paddling techniques, do's and don'ts. The experience was fun and very reassuring. The place is close to Sibelius monument and Seurasaari.Written 21 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
