Destination information

The best landing place is the surface rock on the northern edge of the area. Visitors should note the boulders in the water. The area’s information board, campfire site, and dry toilet are all close to the landing site. It is also possible to land small boats on the southern end of the island.

There are many boat ramps on the mainland not far from Onas, for example in Sipoo Kalkkiranta and Spjutsund. To the west of Onas lies the Kaivokari outdoor recreation area and a harbour owned by the City of Helsinki.

Accessibility

Onas is not an easily accessible destination due to rough terrain at the landing sites and the area’s topography.
