Here you find some of the destinations
Lilla Båtskär
Lilla Båtskär although a small island, is full of history. Often called Nyhamn there has been a pilotstation, a iron ore mine and today the base for a windmillpark. We go by boat for about 20 minutes. We go ashore and get a guided tour through the islands history. We visit the old pilotstation and enjoy nature and the birdlife on the island. If we go for a Lågskär tour we usually make a stop here.
Kobba Klintar
Kobba Klintar is an old pilotstation established in 1862 at the inlet to Mariehamn. Today Kobba Klintar is a popular summer destination for turists and locals. During the summer season you get food and beverages. We visit the old pilotstation and get a guided tour through its history then and now.
