Archipelago Sea Kayaking Trip – Three Days
Set out to experience the unique nature of the Archipelago National Park up close – by kayak. This trip is for those who love the sea, tranquility, and the rhythm of movement in nature. It’s best suited for paddlers with some prior sea kayaking experience who wish to venture beyond the sheltered inner islands toward the open waters and the stark beauty of the outer skerries.
As we paddle, we’ll navigate the Archipelago Sea’s diverse landscapes: weaving between islands large and small, stopping on rocky islets, and exploring calm coves. Along the way, we’ll encounter the archipelago’s rich birdlife – and with a bit of luck, spot majestic white-tailed eagles gliding overhead.
On inhabited islands, we’ll get a glimpse of some of Finland’s oldest traditional landscapes, and if you wish, you can explore charming marked nature trails on foot. Each day of paddling offers a new perspective on life in the archipelago – its silence, colors, and scents.
Day 1: Rosala – Örö
The journey begins in the village of Rosala, from where we paddle toward the majestic island of Örö. Örö is known for its historic fortress, expansive coastal meadows, and stunning sea views. During the day, we’ll tune into the rhythm of the archipelago and enjoy the calm of the marine landscape.
In the evening, we’ll set up camp and spend the night immersed in Örö’s unique atmosphere – you can walk along the nature trails, go for a swim, or simply sit on the rocks listening to the sounds of the sea.
Day 2: Örö – Vänö
On the second day, we’ll head toward Vänö Island. The route takes us across open waters and rugged skerries. Along the way, we’ll stop at islands where time seems to stand still – smooth granite rocks and the salty air invite you to pause and enjoy the moment.
We’ll camp for the night on a sheltered island. The evening’s quiet, the soft light of the setting sun, and the closeness of nature make this one of the highlights of the trip.
Day 3: Return to Rosala
On the final day, we’ll make our way back into the lush scenery of the inner archipelago. The route winds through narrow straits and among small islands – the landscapes change gently, and the colors and scents of the sea will stay with you for a long time.
At the end of the trip, we’ll pack up our gear and share a final coffee together, taking a moment to reflect on the experiences before heading home.
Getting to Moln’s trips is easy by public transport – by train or bus – so you can start experiencing the journey even before you arrive. If you come by public transport, we’ll pick you up from the nearest train station or bus terminal. From Helsinki, we’ll travel together by minibus to Rosala (about 3–4 hours). You can also join us along the route or arrive in Rosala by your own means.
