Public sauna and sauna sessions by the sea
Public sauna and open sauna sessions by the sea – how it works
The public sauna session at Hyvän Tuulen Sauna is a low-threshold way to enjoy the sauna in Helsinki. You do not need your own group or a private booking – you can book a spot for a single sauna session and join in.
The sauna session lasts two hours. You travel to the sauna by boat from Kalkkihiekantori pier, so the sauna experience also includes a small maritime transfer.
On board you have access to two saunas, changing rooms, toilet facilities and a terrace. In summer you can take a dip and SUP boards are also available during the sauna session.
The public sauna is for you if you want to get to the sauna easily in Helsinki without booking your own sauna space.
Why come to a Hyvän Tuulen Sauna public session?
Two authentic wood-fired saunas with sea views
During the public session you have access to two wood-fired saunas. The terrace opens to a sea view over the Eastern Helsinki archipelago.
Swimming in the sea and SUP boards in summer
Between löyly sessions you can take a dip in the sea, and in summer SUP boards are part of the experience. In winter, an ice hole awaits.
Affordable and easy sauna without a group booking
You can come alone, as a couple or with friends — just book your own spot and arrive at Kalkkihiekantori. The most affordable way to experience Hyvän Tuulen Sauna.

Sessions
Sauna sessions in Helsinki
Public sauna sessions are organized several times a week during the season. You can see the up-to-date days and free spots in the booking calendar. Green-marked days are bookable.
Sauna by the sea
On a public sauna session, the sauna itself is only half of the experience. When the boat takes you from Kalkkihiekantori to the sauna boat, the city is left behind for a moment and the Eastern Helsinki archipelago opens around you.
Between löyly sessions you can swim, sit on the terrace, enjoy the scenery or relax with other sauna-goers.
This is a public sauna in Helsinki, but not a typical one.
In winter, the sea dip becomes ice swimming — read more about our ice hole.
