What it is and why it matters

The archipelago changes character from inhabited islands near the city to more exposed outer islands. A successful visit starts with the journey: choose a destination that matches the available season, daylight and return connections. Treat ferry travel as part of the experience, but leave enough margin for transfers.

How to get there

Plan with the official ferry operator for the chosen island and confirm the return sailing.

Practical information

Facilities and services vary greatly by island and season.

Accessibility

Accessibility varies by vessel, jetty and terrain; verify each part of the journey.
