Island Hopping by Bike in Finland

Off Finland’s south-west coast lies one of the country’s most amazing and unique regions. The Turku Archipelago consists of over 20,000 islands, and is a stunning area of natural beauty. Our popular cycling tour hops from island to island using local ferries.

Included in the package is accommodation in a combination of small island boutique hotels, converted school houses and barns, the small harbour town of Naantali, and the city of Turku, plus two fantastic archipelago dinners, bicycle hire with panniers and helmets, a route information booklet plus .GPX files for your phone or navigation device, cycling maps, and emergency service. Luggage transfer is available as an optional extra.

We donate 10 EUR for every person booked on this tour to the John Nurminen Foundation, a charitable organisation protecting the Baltic Sea and its cultural heritage.
