Cruise Day Schedule The cruise departs at 10:30 AM from behind the Pakkahuone Guest Marina in Uusikaupunki. The sea journey begins slowly past impressive marinas. The sea journeys are made aboard the passenger ship M/S Kerttu, which has cozy and warm interiors, a café (with full liquor licenses), and plenty of space on the sun deck to enjoy the day at sea.

The journey to the island is an experience in itself. You will see the beautiful nature of the inner archipelago and the vast expanse of the Bothnian Sea while enjoying the trip, perhaps with a cup of coffee and a pastry or a cold drink. The journey offers plenty of bird watching and navigation marks, and the onboard guide will introduce you to the nature and sights of the archipelago. The sea journey takes about 1.5 hours.

On Isokari: The guided tour from the harbor introduces the island's nature, history, and of course, the lighthouse itself. The lighthouse is still an operational maritime safety device, and entry to the lighthouse is supervised. To reach the lantern room and admire the lighthouse's lens, you need to climb nearly 180 steps, but the tower is an impressive sight even from the beautiful lighthouse meadow.

The included Kerttu lunch is served at the Isokari Kasarmi Restaurant Mainio. In addition to the shared cruise program (guided island tour, lighthouse visit, lunch), you will have time to pet sheep, take a swim, and enjoy coffee and a pastry on the idyllic summer terrace. The island’s flora, birdlife, architecture, and ship traffic off the island provide much to see and explore for visitors of all ages.
