The most beautiful sight of Western-Uusimaa is  Tammisaari Archipelago National Park , which is almost unreachable without a boat of your own. This archipelago consists of 1300 islands! Your guide Matti will take you to experience the nature and atmosphere of the archipelago. You get to feel the breeze of sea wind, admire the rugged nature of the rocky islands and the open sea. You will get a chance to experience the old Jussarö Island with its history filled with mining and army base, or visit the nature walk in islands... During the archipelago tour we will drive along the narrow island routes with varying degrees of speed. We admire the genuine nature with various kinds of birds, old fishing facilities, fences, as well as the archipelago of modern construction. If we are in luck, we can even see a seal rise to the surface in the vicinity of the boat or the white-tailed eagle soar above the boat. This boat trip is available from the 1st of May to the 30th of September

    Wonderful archipelago tour

    This tour was a highlight of our visit to Finland. Matti is a wonderful guide and this tour of the archipelago was beautiful. The stopover at the fisherman’s cottage was interesting and added a lot to our understanding of people’s lives on these islands. We followed Matti’s advice and had our afternoon coffee after our tour at the Cafe Gamla Stan in the charming, oldest part of Tammisaari which made a perfect ending to a wonderful afternoon. Thanks Matti!

    Response from the operator: Thank You, Suzanne! I hope You all have nice memories from this Archipelago!

    Archipelago Magic

    We spent a wonderful day with Matti exploring the archipelago and its 1300 islands. He is warm, witty, knowledgeable and an excellent navigator. He is also an absolute delight to be with. We learned so much about the local flora and fauna as well as the culture, language and history. Thank you so much, Matti!! I highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank You! I wish You a nice summer 2022!

    Memorable 2-Hour Cruise of Tammisaari Archipelago

    We had the pleasure of joining Guide Matti for a two-hour archipelago cruise on his motor boat. Matti knows the waters by heart and told us interesting stories about the local areas and points of interest as well as pointed out some of the archipelago birds (White-tailed Eagle and osprey as highlights) for me to photograph. Matti is also happy to accommodate specific tour requests. For example, we wanted to maximise the cruising time and therefore did not visit any of the islands on foot. He also dropped us off directly to the pier of the hotel we were staying. If you're looking for a boat excursion in Tammisaari then Matti is your Guide!

    Response from the operator: Thank You! I really hope You enjoyed!

    Wonderful boat trip!

    Our family (with 5 yo) really enjoyed our 3+ hour boat tour with Matti. Such a beautiful way to see the best of Finnish nature. Matti was an excellent captain and guide and was very intent on giving us wonderful memories. We would definitely recommend his tour if in the Tammisaari area.

    Response from the operator: Thank You and have a nice summer!

    Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Helsinki.

    How much does Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $365 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Helsinki usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Helsinki is not rushed.

    Is Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Helsinki, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Helsinki can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Helsinki and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Helsinki within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Helsinki?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Helsinki experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include National Park Hike & Finnish Smoke Sauna Experience with Campfire Lunch, A Finntastic Walking Tour with a Local Guide, Helsinki walking tour with a city planner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Helsinki?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Helsinki?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari?

    +

    Included: Boat transport; and Guidance. Not included: Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari?

    +

    Tammisaari North Harbour, Stallorsgatan 1 or Rantapuistikko The trip is available from the 1st of May to 30th of September Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Finnish and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari?

    Is Private Boat Excursion into The Archipelago of Tammisaari wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
