The experience at SkyWheel lasts about 12 minutes. One round takes approx. 3 minutes which means that you will go around 3-4 times during the ride, depending of the amount of customers.

The number of guests in the cabin can be up to 6 persons.

No food or beverage of any nature may be consumed on the SkyWheel itself or on the boarding platform leading to the wheel, unless served and supplied by the SkyWheel Helsinki crew.

SkySauna

SkySauna is open according to the operational hours of SkyWheel and only with a reservation. Reservation is needed because it will take time to prepare the experience. Since it takes some time to get the sauna heated, the reservation can start after two hours from the opening. Also the reservation needs to end one hour (latest 30min) before our closing, so that our staff will have time for cleaning. Operational hours can be found from SkyWheel’s website.

Please note that we might have alterations on the opening hours depending on the season. The precise and most current opening hours will always be updated to our webpages. Please note that the Original SkySauna is not open during the coldest winter months (December-March).

Also take into account that the usage of the sauna gondola ends 15 minutes before the reservation is over in order to provide time for showering and dressing up.

The experience includes private use of the sauna gondola and sauna lounge, which has showers, bathrooms and changing rooms. There’s also a terrace with a hot tub for your use and a bluetooth speaker to play your own music. The hot tub can fit up to 10 people at a time.

You also get two alcoholic / non-alcoholic drinks per person. If necessary, you can purchase more drinks during the reservation. Towels are also included to the price. Bathrobes (8€) and sandals (3€) can be rented separately.

The price of the experience depends on the day of the week:

·       Mondays and Tuesdays 240 € / hour
·       Wednesdays and Thursdays 260 € / hour
·       Fridays and Sundays 290 € / hour
·       Saturdays 320 € / hour

The price is for 1-4 persons, extra hours are 50% of the above-mentioned prices and extra persons are charged for 30 € per person.

Bathrobes (8 € / person) and sandals (3 € / person) can be rented separately. Please note, that you must bring your own swimwear.

Example: 6-person group for two hours on Friday at 16:00-18:00 with sandals for each

·       The price would be 290 € (price of first hour for four people) + 145 € (extra hour 50% of the original price) = 435 €

·       Plus 30 € (price of extra person) x 2 (two extra persons) = 60 €

·       Plus 3 € (flip flops) x 6 (six persons total) = 18 €

·       Total price for this reservation = 513 € (435 € + 60 € + 18 €)

·       Includes four drinks per person so 24 alcohol / non-alcoholic drinks in total

Reservation should always be made beforehand as we need time to heat up the sauna and to prepare everything according to your reservation. Reservations can be made through SaunaOnline (only available in Finnish) by contacting us via email (info@skysauna.com) or phone (+358 404 804 604). 

The experience can be paid in advance or on the spot when arriving. Invoicing is also possible in special situations.

The sauna gondola is most suitable for four people although maximum amount of people in the gondola is 5.

There can be up to 15 people in the same group and while others are enjoying the sauna, the rest can relax in the hot tub (max. 10 ppl), private lounge or on the terrace.

For bigger groups (over 4 persons) we warmly recommend to book the experience for minimum 2 hours.

We are not taking reservations from mid-December to March, since if the temperature drops below 5 degrees of Celsius, we cannot guarantee that the sauna gondola will be warm enough to provide as good experience as needed. The precise dates will be updated to our page.

In case you’re coming to Helsinki during the wintertime when the temperature is too cold for the Original SkySauna experience, we still run the SkyWheel daily and offer e.g. regular- and Veuve Clicquot VIP Experience rides. More information can be seen on SkyWheel’s webpage.

One round lasts approximately 3 minutes and you can stay in the sauna gondola as many rounds as you wish – after all, it is in your private use. We provide a walkie-talkie with you to the gondola so you can let us know whenever you want to get in and/or out.

The rule regarding the clothing in sauna gondola is to have your own swimwear on you. You can also take the towel or bathrobe with you to the sauna if you like. You are also allowed to take the drinks with you to the sauna gondola.

Unfortunately you can’t enjoy your own drinks. At our licensed area, only purchased drinks can be enjoyed due to legal reasons. However, the package includes two drinks per person per hour and extra drinks can be purchased on the spot.

We offer two different types of beer (Heineken & Lapin Kulta), various long drinks (Hartwall’s original, cranberry, lime and orange) and ciders (Happy Joe’s pear & apple). The non-alcoholic options include soft drinks and carbonated water. You can decide which drinks you wish to be selected to the package.

We kindly ask you to inform us about any changes or cancellations as soon as possible, latest 48 hours before the start of the reservation.
