Scheduled archipelago boats
A scheduled boat carries you swiftly to and from the islands in the Espoo archipelago. In just one day you have time to visit a couple of these attractive little islands.
Espoo has 58 km of seashore and 165 islands. Why not try camping on one of the seven islands where camping is allowed. These islands are equipped for the needs of campers and trekkers. They have piers, covered cooking facilities, toilets and wells. The well water is not drinkable, so it is advisible to bring along drinking water. The city provides fire woods and takes care of waste management.
