Summer 2024
We open for the new summer season 2024 during May. Our own island ferry, M/s Klippan, leaves from Sapokka every hour and 20 minutes to full hour from Varissaari back to the mainland. The ferry is owned by our restaurant, so we can also arrange out-of-schedule rides for groups.
The island also has a wonderful Museum exhibition pavilion set of the Ruotsinsalmi battles (1789-1790), the museum is free to enter.
You are very welcome to spend a relaxing summer day at the beach or on the rocky shores of Varissaari!
