The weather forecast predicted bad conditions in both Finland and Sweden, but instead of storms, the journey delivered stunning landscapes, unique experiences, and almost nothing but sunshine.

As the boat glides across the sea under a bright sun, Jan-Erik reflects on what makes this trip special. “It’s not just about the destination,” he says. “It’s about the journey — the feeling of getting up early, stepping onto the boat, and embracing a day of adventure. There’s nothing quite like it.

Once again, we learned that no matter the forecast, the journey is always worth it. Rain or shine, just get out there and embrace the adventure.”

Arriving at Ulvön - where adventure meets tranquility

Halfway across the Baltic, the vastness of the terrain becomes truly apparent. Flying a drone reveals the incredible scale of the boulders scattered across the shores of Finland. By the time Ulvön appears on the horizon, the scenery has shifted dramatically. Known as the main harbor of Sweden’s High Coast, Ulvön is a picturesque island that embodies the charm of the Swedish archipelago.

“Ulvön is one of those places where you feel time slows down,” Jan-Erik explains.

“It’s perfect for hiking, sightseeing, or simply unwinding. The island has idyllic bed-and-breakfasts, traditional Swedish boathouses, a hotel, and even its own sailing regatta. It’s a destination that offers at least a couple of days of adventure, whether you arrive by boat or ferry.”
