Additional Information
The Tammisaari Archipelago National Park is undoubtedly the most breathtaking scenery in Western-Uusimaa, however, it’s practically inaccessible without a personal boat. Comprising of 1300 islands, this archipelago is truly extraordinary! Your companion, Matti, will guide you through the park’s unique environment and ambience.
Feel the salty sea air against your skin, gaze upon the craggy landscapes of the rocky islands and the vast ocean. You will have the opportunity to explore the historic Jussarö Island, known for its mining and army base, or perhaps traverse the Älgö Island nature walk and the Rödjan fishing estate. Moreover, a visit to the Modermagan Island is also a possibility…
Your journey through the archipelago includes navigating through the tight island routes at varying speeds. Enjoy the untouched nature, diverse bird species, historic fishing amenities, fences, and the contemporary structures of the archipelago. If you’re fortunate, you might even witness a seal surfacing near the boat, or a white-tailed eagle soaring overhead.

Archipelago Magic - We spent a wonderful day with Matti exploring the archipelago and its 1300 islands. He is warm, witty, knowledgeable and an excellent navigator. He is also an absolute delight to be with. We learned so much about the local flora and fauna as well as the culture, language and history. Thank you so much, Matti!! I highly recommend this tour!

Memorable 2-Hour Cruise of Tammisaari Archipelago - We had the pleasure of joining Guide Matti for a two-hour archipelago cruise on his motor boat. Matti knows the waters by heart and told us interesting stories about the local areas and points of interest as well as pointed out some of the archipelago birds (White-tailed Eagle and osprey as highlights) for me to photograph.
Matti is also happy to accommodate specific tour requests. For example, we wanted to maximise the cruising time and therefore did not visit any of the islands on foot. He also dropped us off directly to the pier of the hotel we were staying.
If you're looking for a boat excursion in Tammisaari then Matti is your Guide!

Wonderful boat trip! - Our family (with 5 yo) really enjoyed our 3+ hour boat tour with Matti. Such a beautiful way to see the best of Finnish nature. Matti was an excellent captain and guide and was very intent on giving us wonderful memories. We would definitely recommend his tour if in the Tammisaari area.

Great national park, great trip, great guide - I think it was wonderful to have a guided boat trip to the archipelago and the national park. Everything was great and we got a good overview of the National Park and its wildlife and the mining village of Jussarö. I wholeheartedly recommend the national park in Tammisaari Archipelago and guidematti tours!

Great evening tour in the archipelago ! - We just finished a 4 hours boat-tour (5.15 PM to 9.15 PM) in the tammasaari area with Matti, that was awesome. Matti is very knowledgeable and he makes sure that you learn everything about the archipelago, the local animals and trees. His boat is very safe and you also have time for a 40min hike on a beautiful island. Then comes the snack time at sunset with coffee and tea. Don't forget to ask Matti about his famous joke about Finnish and Swedish neighbours !

Very informative and exciting tour - Initially I was just looking to charter a boat to get to an island to camp for one night, but ended up booking Matti who was very helpful in deciding where to stay. We started off heading towards the biggest island of the archipelago but along the way we went past an island owned by a group dedicated to keeping the archipelago clean. He told us about the group and that people are welcome to stay there and use the amenities for free, but we have to clean up after ourselves, easy decision to make. Along the way he tells us about different animals species native to the islands, when their breeding seasons are, etc. The following day he came to pick us up right on time and we rode around the archipelago and finished the tour. Highly recommend!

Best guided trip - The trip with Matti was excellent. We took a small boat to cruise through the archipelago and finally landed on Älgön. The walking tour over the Island was super interesting and informative. Matti knows a lot and answered all of questions patiently. He is a charming, friendly and fun person and a very competent guide. We fully recommend his trips!

Fabulous Guide with local knowledge - Great 2-3 hour trip on a small boat. Ideal way to see the sights from the sea & best way to see the local islands. Some informative history of the local area and the islands in the archipelago. Plus a real fun boat ride, Matti was a very nice guy who made the trip enjoyable for adults & children alike. Would go again on return visit.

Passionate Guide & Service - It wasn’t summer yet so most of the activities were not available. Through Helsinki tourist information center I got to know Matti who had kindly take me out to the archipelago in his boat. He agreed to meet me at the train station and even text me the details of my train ride. Matti also drove me round the town and showed me where the tourist info center is, places I could have lunch, etc.. The boat ride was interesting and enjoyable with Matti’s sharing..thank you!
