WHAT TO DO
Are you looking for something to do in the Gryt archipelago? Here you will find inspiration on what to do.
SEAL SAFARI
Join an exciting seal safari in the outer Gryt Archipelago! From 29 June to 17 August, Skärgårdskompaniet offers guided tours to the Sandsänkan Seal Protection Area, with a stop at the charming island of Harstena. A perfect blend of adventure, wildlife, and stunning scenery!
SAUNA
On both Ämtö and Harstena, you have the opportunity to hire a wood-fired sauna. Relax in the warmth and alternate with a refreshing dip in the sea.
BOAT TOURS
No boat of your own? No worries! We offer unforgettable boat tours through the Sankt Anna and Gryt archipelagos. Whether you’re looking for a journey to Harstena and Ämtö or a guided tour, such as a seal safari or a visit to the island of Häradskär, or a Göta Canal cruise, we have something for everyone.
Many visit Harstena for the day, but this unique island is truly worth a longer stay to really get to know the place. In addition to accommodation on Harstena, you can also stay on the island of Ämtö, with 12 simple cabins offering a sea view.
HIRE A KAYAK
Set off on an unforgettable kayaking adventure in the breathtaking Östergötland archipelago! Paddle through the famous Sankt Anna archipelago or discover the hidden gems of the beautiful Gryt archipelago. Rent a kayak on Harstena or Ämtö and explore these scenic waterways at your own pace.
THE INTERNATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE DAY ON HÄRADSKÄR
Welcome to Lighthouse Day at Häradskär on Saturday, 15 August. On International Lighthouse Day, both the island and the lighthouse are open, and visitors are welcome to climb the stairs and enjoy the beautiful view.
