Archipelago National Park becomes the first marine national park to be certified as a PAN Park.


This means that it now joins the PAN Parks network that brings together some of the most outstanding wilderness National Parks across Europe that are working to combine nature conservation with developing a future for local communities through sustainable tourism development. Archipelago National Park is the first marine park in the network and the 10th park to be certified. For more information please visit PAN Park website >>> panparks.org

There are limited possibilities to reach the National Park by regular vessels – e.g. to the island of Jungfruskär or to some other of the thousands of islands. We cooperate however with taxi-boats operators in the area. So we are able to arrange for you a comfortable and unique experience, according to your timetable and wishes.

The archipelago accommodation is perfectly located for nature tours to the Archipelago National park area along with a large stretch of the coastline. The archipelago is known as the "Archipelago of Turku",

Excursions
