The Journey
Sheltered Bay Launch Site
Begin your adventure at a sheltered bay, the perfect launch site to ease into the mesmerizing maze of islands. This protected haven ensures a calm start before venturing into the expansive archipelago. Gear up with top-of-the-line equipment and prepare to be captivated by the scenic vistas that unfold as you paddle away from the shore.
Uggelholmarna Nature Reserve
Paddle through the Uggelholmarna Nature Reserve, a haven of biodiversity and tranquil beauty. This area is renowned for its ancient forests, boasting three-hundred-year-old pine and linden trees. Take a break from kayaking to stroll through the open forest, immersing yourself in the serenity of this natural sanctuary. Keep an eye out for the diverse birdlife, including ducks, swans, Grey herons, and the majestic White-tailed eagles, as you navigate towards the sheltered atoll formation of islands near Lammskär and Kalvskär.
Missjö Archipelago & Kupa Klint
Venture into the outer archipelago, navigating the barren islets against the backdrop of the open sea. This is a realm of diverse coastal birds – gulls, terns, guillemots, and more. After a strenuous day, arrive at Kupa Klint, a prominent navigation mark offering unparalleled views of the Missjö Archipelago, a finely-chiselled landscape of countless skerries. Find respite on the large island of Missjö, where your guides will secure a sheltered spot for a well-deserved rest, immersing you in the heart of the archipelago's natural splendor.
Harstena & Ytterö Island
Kayak south towards Harstena, the archipelago's most visited island, famed for its picturesque village and rich history. Explore the local museum, meander through the charming village, and savor delicious cinnamon swirls from the local bakery, experiencing a place seemingly frozen in time. Continue to Ytterö Island, where smooth rocky beaches and ancient pine trees meet the open sea. Ascend to higher ground for breathtaking views of the archipelago before falling asleep to the sounds of waves and birds – a truly magical experience.
Häradskär Lighthouse
If weather permits, journey to Häradskär, a historic island crowned with an old lighthouse, marking the archipelago's last outpost on the open sea. En route, admire the views from Gubbö before navigating south through the beautiful islands at Laxvarp. The red iron lighthouse emerges after an exposed crossing, a beacon of solitude where the only sounds are bird calls and the rhythmic crashing of waves. This remote and beautiful spot offers an unparalleled sense of accomplishment, marking the furthest reach of your adventure.
Fångö Island & Fyrudden
Conclude your island adventure near Fångö, waking up to a final morning in this island wonderland. After breakfast, explore the abandoned copper mine on Fångö before rounding the island and traversing a small canal towards Fyrudden.
