Waterbus connection from Helsinki to Pihlajasaari

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city at the island of Pihlajasaari, situated only a short ferry journey away from mainland Helsinki. In addition to beautiful sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, and gorgeous sea views, the island is home to diverse nature, and quaint old wooden villas – one of which now contains a restaurant. On the island you can find a two-kilometre-long marked nature trail that provides information and stories on the history of the island.

There are also three public cookshacks on Pihlajasaari that are free to use. All of the cookshacks have drinking water stations and firewood for cooking provided. During weekends it is possible to extend your stay by camping on Eastern Pihlajasaari. The island also has a sauna that you can book in advance.

The ferry service from Merisatama and Ruoholahti to Pihlajasaari is operated on the weekend 11.-12.5.2024 and daily 18.5.-1.9.2024. Dogs are also welcome onboard our vessels and the island, with the exception of the beaches and kids play areas.
