RIB boat cruise to Astuvansalmi Rock Paintings

Embark on a journey to the sacred site of ancient Finns on a guided tour! The Astuvansalmi rock paintings transport you back to prehistoric times. Marvel at breathtakingly beautiful, uniquely shaped cliffs that embrace rock paintings thousands of years old, depicting humans, animals, and handprints.
Travel comfortably on a safe RIB boat, enjoying the stunning Saimaa scenery along the way. While the site is also accessible by foot, only from the water can you truly understand why this location was chosen for these ancient artworks. Spot the face in the cliff and hear the remarkable echo. The waterway to the paintings is the same route used by our ancestors. We’ll disembark to view the paintings from the ground, and those interested can climb atop the magnificent cliff for panoramic views.

Leaving from Ristiina, Mikkeli. Also ask a private cruise from Mikkeli or Puumala!
