Initially I was just looking to charter a boat to get to an island to camp for one night, but ended up booking Matti who was very helpful in deciding where to stay. We started off heading towards the biggest island of the archipelago but along the way we went past an island owned by a group dedicated to keeping the archipelago clean. He told us about the group and that people are welcome to stay there and use the amenities for free, but we have to clean up after ourselves, easy decision to make. Along the way he tells us about different animals species native to the islands, when their breeding seasons are, etc. The following day he came to pick us up right on time and we rode around the archipelago and finished the tour. Highly recommend!

It wasn’t summer yet so most of the activities were not available. Through Helsinki tourist information center I got to know Matti who had kindly take me out to the archipelago in his boat. He agreed to meet me at the train station and even text me the details of my train ride. Matti also drove me round the town and showed me where the tourist info center is, places I could have lunch, etc.. The boat ride was interesting and enjoyable with Matti’s sharing..thank you!
