3.5.2026 Mini Arktika

Join us on a bird excursion to the eastern archipelago of Helsinki

Let's welcome spring with migratory birds, get your binoculars and cameras ready!

Köydet irtoavat aikaisin sunnuntai-aamuna ja aamukahveja nautiskellen suunnataan laivan keula kohti Harmajan luotsisaarta. Matka jatkuu Suomenlahden ulkosaarien rantoja seuraillen itään, kohti Söderskärin majakkaa. Oppaaksi purjehdukselle lähtee aikaisemmilta lintureissulta tuttu luontotoimittaja ja lintubongari Paul Segersvärd, with whose guidance we will get to know the migration of arctic seabirds and, with the highest probability, we will also meet some seals. The ship's spacious deck creates a great platform for watching and photographing migratory birds.

During the sailing, everyone who wishes also has the opportunity to participate in all sailing activities with the guidance of our crew. During the trip, a delicious, Baltic Sea-friendly wild fish soup lunch with desserts and coffee is served.

Departure: at 8 am from Halkolaituri, Helsinki
Return: about at 2 pm to Halkolaituri, Helsinki

The price includes the guide, lunch with a dessert, water, coffee and tea. Soft drinks and mild alcoholic beverages can be purchased on board. The meals served on board are lactose-free.

NOTE! The final sailing route will be determined by the day's weather. We recommend weatherproof clothing and comfortable shoes for sailing. If possible, bring your own life vests for kids, they are more comfortable than the ships vests.

Paul Segersvärd is a very experienced bird watcher who is familiar with the annual cycle of Finnish birds. Observing migratory birds on the coast of the Gulf of Finland is of particular interest to him. Paul has been a birding guide in the capital region for 35 years. During his long career as a nature reporter, he has become familiar with other nature in a wide range as well.
