Scheduled archipelago boats
A scheduled boat carries you swiftly to and from the islands in 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.
Camping is allowed on following islands
More information about the recreational islands can be found in the Archipelago Guide (pdf, 4,33 Mt)
Scheduled boat service to and from Espoo's islands operates throughout the summer from June to September. Passenger amount and weather conditions may affect the schedules.
