Redrib Helicopter Experience

Malmin lentoasema, 00700 Helsinki
Organiser: REDRIB Experience Oy Ltd
Duration: 4 hours
Price: 595 €

The day starts with a Helicopter tour starting from Helsinki. You can choose between your own transport or order a private chauffeur from your hotel to the departing airport. On the H-platform you will meet the helicopter pilot and the crew for departure info.
After the take off procedure you will see the city of Helsinki in a flyover, while enjoying a glass of complimentary champagne. You can also choose to save the champagne bottle to be enjoyed after the flight on the island instead. The tour takes you over the archipelago with over 178.000 islands in an approx 20 min. flight in to the eastern archipelago. Here we land on the bare cliffs on one of these islands. We choose a natural state open air island with covered grilling facilities, dressing room and dry outdoor toilet or and island with all modern facilities like saunas and indoor toilets, dinner and lunch facilities according to your booking and weather conditions.
On the island our REDRIB host will welcome you. We start to prepare for either the survival suit swim or the nature walk with archipelago guiding. This program will take approx 1 hour.
On the survival suit swim you can try how it feels to float around in cold or icy waters staying warm and dry. We have all the equipment needed for this experience, you can come as you are. In the colder season we recommend a wool sweater or a thin down wind jacket underneath the waterproof survival suit. Our supervisor will stay with you in the water for the whole time.
After and during the survival suit swim you hear a short briefing about hypothermia, rescue at sea and other useful information.
The swim is followed by a relaxing archipelago snack either in front of a camp fire or indoors, according to location. If you have booked extras as a sauna and/or lunch/dinner, these will take place indoors in modern facilities.
After the relaxing moment it is time to prepare for the speed drive with the RIB boat back to Helsinki. You will get all equipment needed for the ride from us according to weather conditions such as high quality whole body floating suits or jackets with spray hoods, life west and speed goggles.
After a safety briefing we start the RIB boat tour to Helsinki. The drive takes approx 45min.
We drive between the islands and open sea according to weather conditions and passenger preferences. If you are especially adventurously minded, we take the outer route on a low flight dancing on the way on our journey back to Helsinki. Here you get the impression of what a rigid RIB boat is capable of. Or you simply have a laid back high speed tour through the beautiful archipelago.
If the group size is 3-5 PAX, the helicopter flight will accommodate all passengers in a one way flight. The RIB boat will then take the group back to Helsinki in a single tour.
If the group size is 6-10 PAX the group will be divided in two and both the helicopter and the RIB boat will start from Helsinki. In this case group switch will take place on the island and the RIB boat will take the second group back to Helsinki, departing together with the helicopter.
Variations in routes and island stops may apply due to weather conditions.
Severe weather or sudden weather changes my affect departure times, or days as well as program layout. Variations in lunch menu may apply. We do consider your dietary if notified in advance.
Boat driving speed is always according to weather conditions and passenger capabilities: safety is our highest priority and is never compromised.
