SUSTAINABLE STORY
Archipelago Nature
There is nothing quite as sustainable as using your own pedal power out in the wonderful Finnish archipelago nature. Every time we go to this unique and amazing region off Finland’s south-west coast, we just get to love it more.
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 Old Town of Naantali, and the city of Turku, plus bicycle hire with panniers and helmets, a route information booklet plus .GPX files for your phone or navigation device, cycling maps, emergency service, and luggage transfer options.

You will be supporting remote rural economies, stay at some small family-run accommodations, and get to taste amazing food sourced from fresh local ingredients.
