Saaristo, the Finnish Archipelago and its 40,000 islands form one of the world’s densest island regions — and one of the most unforgettable Nordic island hopping routes.

Whether you travel by kayak or yellow ferry, island hopping in Saaristo is best done slow: take a couple days and paddle through the quiet inner archipelago, bike between piers and swimming rocks, or take a cable ferry and stop for lunch in a harbor village.
