Accessibility
The Harakka ferry is not accessible, but the driver can help lift a pram or light wheelchair aboard if needed. There is an accessible toilet near the pier, and the larger toilet has a baby-changing table. Part of the sandy route can work with a pram, but rocky sections, steps, the hill to the Nature House and nesting-season route limits can make moving around difficult.

Plan your visit

Practical notes
The tour starts in front of the Nature House after the 13:00 ferry has arrived on Harakka. The ferry leaves from Ullanlinnanlaituri beside Café Ursula, at Ehrenströmintie 3; raise the white wooden call sign on the pier 5 minutes before departure. Harakka does not have a café, so bring water if needed. Visitors cannot arrive with their own boat or bring dogs.
Schedule notes
The remaining summer 2026 Saturday tours are on 11.7, 18.7, 25.7, 1.8, 8.8, 15.8, 22.8 and 29.8 from 13:00 to 14:00.
Booking notes
No advance registration is used. The maximum capacity is 30 participants, so arrive in good time and make the 13:00 ferry.
Price notes
The guided tour is free, but the ferry is paid separately. A Harakka return trip costs EUR 9 for adults and EUR 6 for children aged 7-17 and retirees. Cash is not accepted; card or MobilePay can be used.
Age notes
This is not a children's programme, but an open guided nature tour. It is likely to work best from school age upwards for children who can walk outdoors for an hour with an adult; smaller children may need carrying or other help.
