Island Hopping Adventure

Island Hopping Adventure: Private Cruise with Open-Fire Dining

Step aboard the charming m/s Laura and set off from the banks of the Aura River for an unforgettable island-hopping experience.


Welcome to a journey where the sea breeze tells stories of the archipelago and the crackle of open fire warms both body and soul. On this private 6-hour cruise, you’ll hop from island to island aboard the cozy m/s Laura, discovering nature, tradition, and authentic Finnish hospitality.

At Herrankukkaro, you’ll be welcomed with the aroma of wood smoke and the sizzle of fresh local food on the grill. There you can enjoy a rustic outdoor dining experience by open fire, featuring grilled sausages, fish, and root vegetables, paired with homemade archipelago bread and sea buckthorn butter.


Whether you're roasting sausages under the open sky or exploring hidden islands by wooden boat, this is a day to remember. Perfect for small groups seeking connection, laughter, and a slice of archipelago magic.


For an added experience, you can include a traditional Finnish smoke sauna at Herrankukkaro – a gentle-heat, wood-fired sauna large enough for your entire group. Located by the sea, it also features a hot tub and the refreshing option of a dip in the ocean.


Choosing the smoke sauna experience will extend the cruise duration by one hour (total duration: 7 hours).
