- Accessibility
- The event source describes the amount of walking as moderate and the routes as easy to walk, but the Harakka ferry and island terrain are not fully accessible. The driver can help lift a pram or light wheelchair aboard if needed. Part of the sandy shore route can work with a pram, but rocky sections, steps, the hill to the Nature House and possible route restrictions can make moving around difficult.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- The outing starts at Harakka's pier area after the 17:00 ferry has arrived on the island. The ferry leaves from Ullanlinnanlaituri beside Café Ursula, at Ehrenströmintie 3; raise the white wooden call sign on the pier 5 minutes before departure. Visitors cannot arrive with their own boat or bring dogs to Harakka. There is no café on the island, so bring your own water bottle or snack if needed.
- Booking notes
- No advance registration is needed. The listed maximum capacity is 50 participants, so arrive in good time and make the 17:00 ferry.
- Price notes
- The guided outing is free, but the ferry is paid separately. A Harakka return trip costs EUR 9 for adults, EUR 6 for children aged 7-17 and retirees, and is free for children under 7. According to the ferry operator, cash is not accepted; card or MobilePay can be used.
- Age notes
- The outing is not specifically children's programming, but it suits school-age children interested in plants, the archipelago and a calm guided outdoor walk with their own adult.
