Saimaa ringed seal cruises 17.-18.5. and 31.5.2025


Saimaa Ringed Seal Cruises

In cooperation with WWF and the municipality of Taipalsaari, we have agreed to organize the following seal cruises. – 18.5. and 31.5.2025

As in previous years, the aim is to make the Saimaa and the Saimaa ringed seal accessible to all, as well as a small support for the conservation work of the Saimaa ringed seal. Since 2016, we have already donated more than €14,000 to WWF’s work to protect the Saimaa ringed seal. On the cruises, we get to know the life of the Saimaa ringed seal in its own habitat, as told by our guide, and any observation is a happy addition when it happens. Ismo Marttinen, who has been involved in the conservation work of the Saimaa ringed seal for a long time and has been acquainted with the ringed seal’s life for decades in his father’s footsteps, has once again promised to be our guide.

Saimaa ringed seal cruises depart from Sarviniemi, Suur-Saimaantie 2050, 54920 Taipalsaari.

Bring your own binoculars and suitable clothing to be on the ship’s outdoor decks.
