The best place in Finland to observe bird nesting

Eider Safari to Bengtskär Lighthouse – May 2026

The most unique springtime archipelago experience awaits at Bengtskär

In May, the outer archipelago island of Bengtskär transforms into a vibrant bird sanctuary. Hundreds of nesting female eiders make the lighthouse island an exceptionally safe breeding site where nature is alive all around you.

The Eider Safari to Bengtskär Lighthouse is one of the best places in Finland to observe bird nesting up close, without disturbing the birds.

The sea journey to Bengtskär – part of the experience

The journey to Bengtskär follows sheltered archipelago routes aboard a safe and heated vessel.
During the cruise, you will see abundant seabirds and often grey seals.

The scent of the spring sea, the calls of seabirds and the awakening archipelago make the voyage an experience in itself.

Dining at Bengtskär Lighthouse

At Bengtskär, we enjoy the lighthouse kitchen’s famous fish soup, traditional archipelago bread, and
fresh pastry or doughnut with lighthouse coffee.

Authentic archipelago flavours complete the day.

Söderlångvik Manor Cruise

Cruise from Söderlångvik Manor into the Archipelago Sea on Blossom Day 23 May 2026

Welcome to experience Söderlångvik Manor from the sea. This approximately 45-minute manor cruise takes you through the manor’s private waters and the beautiful inner archipelago of the Archipelago Sea.

During the cruise you will see the historic manor, the park and coastal meadows from a completely new perspective – from the sea, where few visitors normally get to admire this cultural landscape.

Departure harbour: Söderlångvik Manor guest harbour
Return: Söderlångvik Manor guest harbour

The cruise departs from the manor shoreline and returns to the same place, making it easy to combine with a visit to the manor’s Blossom Day event.

Discover Söderlångvik’s cultural landscape from the sea

Seen from the water, Söderlångvik Manor reveals a unique perspective. Sheltered straits, rocky shores and green islands create a peaceful and beautiful archipelago landscape around the manor.

Along the route we enjoy the winding waterways of the inner archipelago and admire charming summer houses hidden along the shores.

During the cruise we also pass under Lövö Bridge, one of the highlights of the journey.
