Practical Information
It doesn’t take many hours to travel by boat from Sweden or the Finnish mainland to Åland, but it surely is a memorable trip.
Respect the environment!
Now and in the future,
Åland wants to be able to invite all visitors to a clean and fresh
nature with clear and wonderful water. All boats, regardless of size,
are bound by law to empty their wastewater in tanks provided in the
