Ö-hoppa i Karlskrona skärgård, Blekinge

Take the boat to the best place

lsland Hopping in the Blekinge Archipelago

Discover the Blekinge archipelago by boat – from charming small islands and historic harbors to hidden swimming coves, scenic hiking trails, and glamping spots with sea views. Along the coast, more than 2,500 islands await, and with Blekingetrafiken’s boats, you can travel easily and sustainably from the mainland out into freedom.

Choose from six selected boat routes – stretching from Karlskrona in the east to Hanö in the west – and plan a full day, a weekend getaway, or your entire summer holiday on the water.

Karlskrona - Fisktorget to Stenshamn & Nättraby

Begin your journey in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Karlskrona, where M/F Wittus takes you to islands like Torhamn and Stenshamn. Combine bike rentals, coffee at Pelles Sjöbod, and seal spotting near Utlängan with a refreshing swim from the old steamship pier – or simply enjoy a calm boat ride with 360° ocean views.

Want to discover the archipelago from a slower, more peaceful perspective? Hop aboard M/F Axel and follow the winding Nättraby River past Dragsö to the historic village of Nättraby.

Ronneby – Åväg to Karön & Spa Life

From Ronneby travel center, hop on board M/F Astrid – a journey that begins among treetops and ends on idyllic islands. Stop by Brunnsparken for coffee at Café Mandeltårtan, enjoy waterfront dining at Villa Vassen, or take an evening swim from the Karö pier.

Karlshamn – Tärnö, Eriksberg & Island Getaways

Board M/F Anemon from Matvik and explore Östra Bokö, Fölsö, Joggesö, and Tärnö – a dream for beach lovers and island hoppers. On Tärnö, sea views and seaside grill spots await for laid-back evenings.

Sölvesborg – Hanö & the Island of Legends

From Nogersund, you’ll reach Hanö in just 25 minutes – an island steeped in legends, history, lighthouses, and endless horizons. Hike through the hornbeam forest, swim from the cliffs of Vindhalla, or discover fishermen’s lives at the village’s small museum.

Stay overnight in a former lighthouse keeper’s house, a hostel, or a private cottage – ideal for a peaceful night or two off the grid.
