Saapumisohje
Take the turning toward Barösund from the Helsinki-Hanko road (number 51). The Barösund cable-ferry will take you to Orslandet island. Follow the “Bjurs” signs with the Vantaa coat-of-arms. Before you reach the Bjurs area, turn left toward Gölisnäs.
Gölisnäs is situated in the southern end of Orslandet island in Inkoo. Boaters and kayakers are welcome along with visitors arriving by car from the mainland. The area’s labyrinthine archipelago provides many boat landing opportunities and is perfect for exploring by kayak or paddle-board. If arriving by car, you can enjoy the small roads and the free cable-ferry on the way to Gölisnäs. Gölisnäs has some small informal paths in the hilly forest, and there is a lagoon-like bay to the north of the island. Göliglo’s smooth rocks are an excellent spot for fishing on a summer’s day. In the evening you can relax in the saunas before finding your way to the rental cabins for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Making a fire is permitted only at marked campfire sites, and only when a wildfire warning is not in place. When a warning is in place, no fires are permitted.
Dogs and other pets must be kept on a leash.

Destination information
Gölisnäs has a deep natural harbor which can accommodate larger boats too, with a water depth of over 8 meters near the jetty and 24 boat mooring points / buoys. The recreation area’s services and amenities can be enjoyed by boaters and kayakers as well as visitors arriving from the mainland. Drivers are advised that the Barösund cable-ferry takes a couple of minutes and is followed by a 4-kilometre gravel road drive to Gölisnäs.

The saunas and electric hookups for boats are only available May to September. If using the saunas, please have a look at Uuvi’s Sauna Etiquette.
