Boat trips

Experience Fjällbacka and Grebbestad’s magical archipelago of islets and skerries.

Embarking on an archipelago tour is like stepping straight into a postcard. With the wind in your hair, salt spray in the air and a sparkling sea as far as the eye can see, it quickly becomes clear why the Bohuslän archipelago is one of the country’s most beloved nature experiences.

Several companies run boat tours that take you via hundreds of small, uninhabited rocky islets to picturesque islands with red cottages, small cafés and jetties.

There are both more comfortable archipelago boats, Rib boats, or traditional fishing boats that run lovely tours.

Here, fishermen have battled storms, smugglers have hidden their treasures in secret coves, and legends have passed from generation to generation.

Hidden among the islands is Dannholmen, Ingrid Bergman’s beloved summer paradise, and at the far end of the sea band are the Weather Islands. The queen of crime fiction, Camilla Läckberg, tells stories in the dark world of detective fiction about alleys, piers, sea and islands that merge reality and fiction in the fog of the sea.

Seals are not uncommon to encounter, and if you want to go on a seal safari, seaweed safari, fishing trip, there are several options.

An archipelago trip is not just an excursion – it’s a break from everyday life, a chance to experience nature up close and to create memories that live on long after the boat has docked.
