Helicopter Tour · Helsinki
How to choose
Both tours run 4h and depart from the same spot: Marina Bay Café, Kanavaranta 4, operated by REDRIB Experience. The split is simple. At 4 325 €, the Helicopter + RIB boat combo trades altitude for speed on the water, giving you two contrasting highs in one session. At 4 900 €, the Helicopter + Hovercraft combo swaps the RIB for a craft that glides over both water and ice, making it the stronger pick outside summer when Helsinki's archipelago is partially frozen. The 575 € premium buys a genuinely different surface experience, not just an upgrade in comfort. Both tours welcome all fitness levels, so the decision is purely about which second adrenaline format hits harder for you. Go RIB for raw speed on open water. Go Hovercraft for something you won't find on most itineraries.

Most unique sensation
Helicopter and Hovercraft Experience above Helsinki
At 4 900 €, the Hovercraft leg crosses both water and ice surfaces, making it the rarest physical experience of the two and the hardest to replicate elsewhere.
