The sauna culture is deeply rooted in Finnish society: in a country of 5.5 million inhabitants and over 3.2 million saunas, the local approach to the sauna is profoundly philosophical, yet straightforward and woven into everyday life. Did you know, that “sauna” is the only Finnish word widely adopted into the English language, often used to describe intense, desert-like heat?
Even today, the sauna remains at the center of all important life events. It symbolizes camaraderie, solidarity, and the collective social domain. In addition to these social aspects, saunas are places for bathing, detoxing, and spiritual purging, offering peaceful meditation and personal transformation experiences.
On our private sauna tours, you can experience the traditional Finnish sauna, the seaside sauna, or the authentic smoke sauna. Basic sauna guidance is included in the price, and additional sauna treatments are offered by an experienced sauna overseer are available for an extra fee.
