DAY 01 - THE ARRIVAL

Your plane descends towards Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, and you get your first glimpse of the green landscapes and glistening blue waters.

As you step off the plane, you catch your first breath of the clean air as you are welcomed by your driver-guide, who will look after you during your stay.

As your driver-guide is taking you from the airport towards Saimaa lake district, you are soon to notice the incredibly lush greenery, dotted with the bluest of lakes. The green forests and the blue lakes became synonymous with the Finnish national landscape during the golden era of Finnish art. Painters such as Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Eero Järnefelt travelled, with great effort, throughout the country and etched those landscapes into the national consciousness.

The berries and mushrooms we use are also picked from the clean nature of the Saimaa area.

DAY 02 - CRUISE ON LAKE SAIMAA BEGINS

Start for your lake adventure with the houseboat. Captain will take you to one of the islands in Linnansaari National park where you will spend the first night. You have the opportunity to go and explore the island and experience the clean, untouched nature by yourself.

Later on the day, you will hop on the Jet Skis and get an adrenalin rush by cruising your hearts out around the islands. Houseboat’s sauna will welcome you after your cruise and the bravest will also take a dip in the lake’s cool waters.

In the evening you can just sit back and enjoy the scenery while savouring yourself with your chef’s prepared 3 -course dinner on board.

DAY 03 - NEW SCENERY AND A SEAL SAFARI

Later the day, sauna will be heated again and you can relax on board enjoying Finnish summer warmth.

DAY 06 - DEPARTURE

The sun rises on your final day in Lake Saimaa – but the fresh air and the bountiful memories from your trip put a smile on your face. From the pier of the Spa hotel, if not blinded by the glistening of Saimaa, you can easily spot the fish swimming in the crystal clear water, playfully chasing each other. Do not be surprised if you sight an old, bearded man embracing himself with the joy of water. He’s Ahti, Finnish God of the Water and of Fishing. This is his empire, and you have been invited. Why don’t you jump in, for the last refreshing dip before it’s time to take the journey back home?
