Two days and nights on an archipelago island. Silence: no electricity and therefore no voices of equipment. Instead we will enjoy voices of sea and birds. You will have a chance to learn details of Finnish cottage life in an unique archipelago surroundings. Cooking by campfire or inside in the cottage by gas. Cottage has two bedrooms, one for you two. To wash and relax in a wooden heated Sauna. Cutting the wood and set fire to fireplace. I will help you in everything.
The experience starts already on the way to the island. I will take you from Helsinki to an archipelago village near Turku. We will shop the grocery because only thing that is provided on the island is potatoes and fish - if the fisherman gets fish from the sea.
After shopping we will continue with the fisherman's motorboat to "our" island.
During your stay on the island, if the sea conditions are favourable, we will row by boat to fisherman's harbour and walk along the nature path that leads us to the top of the island. |

I will meet you at your hotel reception in Helsinki early in the morning.
After about two hour ride - there are local "lossi", a kind of ferry, on the way and therefore the timetable has to be flexible - we will shop the grocery.
Our local fisherman contact will take us to "our island" by his motor boat.
