Archipelago National Park

Sea Kayaking around Kimito Island, Hogsara and the Archipelago | Visit Finland Travel Video

In search of adventure sports, we went Sea Kayaking around Kimito Island, Hogsara and the Finnish Archipelago as part of our travel experience with Visit Finland. Okay, so today we're going to go Sea Kayaking and we're visiting some of the islands around the Archipelago here in Kimito Island and I'm all suited up to go out in the water. Hahaha! You sure are. Hello, I'm Benjamin. I work as a Sea Kayak guide in the Archipelago sea. It's a natural park. We have a lot of people from abroad who are coming here knowing about the Archipelago sea and want to see what it is like here. And Sea kayaking is really a good way to experience the wilderness.

So how is the kayaking going so far? It's going great. We're just taking a short little break and came across some sheep who are just grazing by the sea. I guess by the sea. And my legs fell asleep so I had to get out for a while. But other than that it is going awesome. No capsizing so far. No.

Very graceful. Hahaha! I got the video. You're still alive? Hello, I arrived. Still dry.

Soaked little puppy. I am. I managed to make it the entire sea kayaking journey without capsizing. At the very end I flipped the boat over when I was getting out.

So this was an awesome experience. We went sea kayaking and we were just paddling through wilderness and these small little islands where we saw different kinds of wildlife. All kinds of different birds. It was just awesome and it was a real workout too. We did this for a few hours. I'm exhausted now but Ioved every minute of it.

Okay, so I was told that usually one in ten people capsize the kayak. I survived the whole four hour journey. I am still dry so I think I did pretty good.

Finnish Archipelago Travel Guide

One of the highlights of visiting Finland was our opportunity to be based in the Finnish Archipelago region for several days at a lovely little cottage guesthouse in Dalsbruk - also known as Taalintehdas. From there we had the opportunity to do adventure sports activities such as sea kayaking, canoeing, bicycling and hiking where we spotted wilderness. Moreover, the laid back pace of life and ample free time ensured we had a chance to sample Finnish cuisine such as rye bread, salmon, cream cheese, Finnish beer, Finnish chocolate and other delicacies such as Finnish pizza with smoked salmon! Finnish food was an immediate hit with our taste buds.

Nearby we had the chance to go island hopping by boat visiting around Kimito Island in the Kimitoon region. Some of the top highlights

From the town of Kasnas we caught a ferry heading to Rosala - home to a fascinating Viking Center. From there we continued on to Bengtskär lighthouse - the most remote lighthouse I've ever visited.

Prior to leaving we made sure to shop at a Finnish supermarket where we picked up Salmiakki, Salmiakki beer and Karl Fazer creamy milk chocolate.

Overall, it was a great change of pace from the chaotic city life we're used to Southeast Asia. We had a chance to relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery and hospitality in the Finnish Archipelago.

Ferry ride to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress from Helsinki, Finland including touring around the island

On a lovely sunny afternoon we enjoyed a ferry ride from Helsinki, Finland to Suomenlinna visiting a Sea Fortress, wandering around the island and enjoying black licorice ice cream as part of our walking tour around the island. With a couple of days in Helsinki under our belt, we wanted to explore around some of the outer areas - including a trip a nearby island. Meeting up with Audrey's friend who is studying in Finland for the day, we ventured off to Suomenlinna, a historical maritime fortress and one of Finland's most popular sights. The brief ferry was as comfortable a ride I've ever been on before. With temperatures reaching the low 20's I felt a refreshing breeze against my face as the gentle rays of sun penetrate my skin.

The 15 minute ferry ride also afforded me an opportunity to photograph Helsinki from a different vantage point.

We felt extremely lucky to have delayed this trip considering we had planned this trip the day before when the weather was overcast and rainy.

Upon arriving this once virtually barren island was picturesque with its wild meadows, lush gardens and natural cliffs. In many ways this quaint little getaway reminded me of Prince Edward Island in Canada.

Given the many cozy cafes, restaurants, parks, fortifications and canons on this small island, it's no wonder Suoemenlinna attracting more than 700, 000 visitors annually!

Suomenlinna, a UNESCO Heritage site, (formerly known as Sveaborg in Swedish or Viapori in Finnish) is an inhabited sea fortress which is actually now considered a part of Helsinki. Popular with both foreigners and tourists alike, its the perfect destination for a lazy afternoon picnic, bite of ice cream or a picturesque destination for a wedding.

Literally, 'Suomenlinna' translates as 'Castle of Finland' and was once a former strategic fortress used to thwart off Russian expansionism.

We enjoyed just randomly wandering around the island marveling at how peaceful and serene the pace of life was compared to Helsinki.

We spotted several couples getting married, children playing under the shade and couples holding hands while sharing ice cream.

By far our favorite activity was just sitting down to enjoy a picnic in a picturesque setting overlooking some local boats in a quieter remote area of the island overlooking a rocky spot by the sea.

For those seeking a summertime day trip from Helsinki, I highly recommend visiting this UNESCO heritage site.

This is the kind of destination where planning several hours to leisurely stroll around the island - with an extended picnic with family and/or friends - is the perfect way to spend a summer day in Finland:



On ihana aurinkoinen iltapäivä nautimme lauttamatkan päässä Helsingistä, Suomen Suomenlinnan vierailulla Sea Fortress, vaeltelee ympäri saarta ja nauttia musta lakritsi jäätelöä osana meidän kävelykierroksen ympäri saarta.

Det är en härlig solig eftermiddag vi har haft en båtresa från Helsingfors, Finland till Sveaborg besöker en, vandrade runt ön och njuter svart grädde lakrits is som en del av vår vandring runt ön.

Это прекрасный солнечный день мы наслаждались на пароме от Хельсинки, Финляндия в морской крепости Суоменлинна посещения, блуждая по острову и наслаждаться мороженым черной лакрицы как часть нашей пешеходной экскурсии вокруг острова.

Spring is Coming: Paddling Finland's Archipelago

After a wonderful kayak-building workshop in Suomenlinna, Finland, Seawolf Kayak went with Robin Falck and Lotta Maija to the Eastern Archipelagio of Finland to break some ice and do some winter camping. There was great beauty to be found in a short distance there-- swans, lichen-covered forests, and of course, ice.

1) Our first impressions of Helsinki included wandering around the city and sampling some Finnish street food in the form of a do it yourself picnic we had on a pedestrian bench.
2) As a day trip we left the urban center of Helsinki via ferry for a wander around quaint Suomenlinna island where we sat down to enjoy ice cream - I tried the Salmiakki flavored one.
3) On a dare I had the opportunity to sample Salmiakki, a black licorice that is popular in Finland and other Scandinavian countries. As a big fan of licorice, I liked it instantly whereas Audrey spat it out immediately.
4) During our stay in Dalsbruk we had the chance to participate in some adventure sports including Sea Kayaking are the Archipelago passing by islands in Kimito where we had a chance to spot wildlife.
5) From Kasnas we took a speed boat to visit Rosala - home to a Viking Center - and from there we continued on to check out Bengtskär Lighthouse.
6) While listening to some great live 70's music we had an opportunity to sample three different kinds of Finnish beer while eating reindeer meat.
7) Having a chance to properly explore Helsinki was a must for both of us. One of the highlights of wandering around the city centre was having a chance to see some of the impressive architecture including Uspenski Cathedral while eating salmon and reindeer meatballs by the Harbor market.
8) During our time in the Finnish Archipelago we were based in the town of Dalsbruk (Swedish name) also called Taalintehdas (Finnish name) a small town home to mostly Swedish speakers also fluent in Finnish.
9) Finally, no trip of ours would be complete without keying in on the local cuisine. Before we left Taalintehdas we check out a super market where we spotted Finnish snacks such as Fazer chocolate, Finnish beer, salmon, Salmiakki, rye bread and more. We're certainly going to miss Finnish cuisine.
