Travel & Stay

We recommend booking your ferry/flight and accommodation in Mariehamn in advance. Welcome!

The fastest way to the Ålands Islands is to fly from Helsinki or Stockholm and this will bring you here in minutes. There are also quick ferries from Grisslehamn and Kapellskär that last 2 to 3 hours, and then there are the cruise ships from Turku, Helsinki and Stockholm that last 6 to 9 hours. They will often arrive at night so beware of the date for arrival!

If you deside arrive daytime on Friday we can arrange an extra training session Friday evening for all early arrivers. This will be in the same Dojo as the main training seminar.
