Enchanting Experiences Await you in Isokari!

Isokari is located in the southern part of the Bothnian Sea in the Gulf of Bothnia. Here, you can explore the island’s rich lighthouse history, enjoy the beauty of the archipelago, savor delicious meals, and stay in unforgettable surroundings. Arrive with your own boat or cruise with us!

Isokari is one of the largest islands in the Bothnian Sea, home to a lighthouse that has guided seafarers since its completion in 1833. During the summer season, the island offers visitors unforgettable experiences.

The pristine waters of the Bothnian Sea surround Isokari, with swells rolling onto its western shore all the way from Sweden. The nutrient levels and eutrophication in the surrounding waters are significantly lower than in other parts of the Baltic Sea, keeping the waters around Isokari clearer and minimizing blue-green algae blooms.

Isokari itself is like an oasis in the open sea. Its size and varied topography create a diverse range of natural habitats, from lush groves and dry meadows to berry-rich wetlands. Traditional settlement, grazing, and winter fodder collection have further enriched the island’s flora. The island is also home to an exceptionally rich birdlife.

Completed in 1833, Isokari Lighthouse is the tallest in the Gulf of Bothnia, with its light shining from 49.4 meters above sea level. Even during midsummer, the lighthouse remains operational. After a major renovation in 2020, the lighthouse is open for guided tours—though to enjoy the stunning views, you’ll need to climb nearly 200 steps.

Isokari’s unique nature and magnificent lighthouse are its main attractions, but the island offers much more to see and experience during the summer season. Discover all that Isokari has to offer and plan your visit today!
