How to get here

On the beautiful archipelago island of Korpo in the center of the Turku archipelago, about 80 kilometres from Turku. You can get here easily by car, bus or bicycle.

Korpo is well connected to the mainland via two ferries that are free and operate around the clock, all year round. During the summer with about 15 min. intervals, in winter slightly less frequently.

More information on ferries and ferry timetables can be found at finferries.fi

Bus timetable can be found here.

The famous Archipelago trail crosses half of the island, and the location of Naawa Nature Camp is just perfect for an overnight stay, as it is just a few hundred meters away from Galtby harbor.

about naawa nature

I am Sara, the heart and soul behind Naawa. I am here to help you experience the amazingly beautiful Finnish archipelago outside of Turku.

After I graduated as a wilderness guide I moved to Korpo and here I got inspired to establish Naawa – Nature Awakening, a company that aims to channel the healing, calming and educating properties of Nature, offering activities and events that are carefully crafted with the idea of nurturing your soul and body while finding joy in Nature.

Nature is my passion and what inspires me. For me, there is nothing better than waking up in a tent to the sound of the birds, a breakfast by the fire or a long walk following paths created by other animals. If you feel a call inside your heart for all those things, let me help you discover the exciting nature of this incredible archipelago.

Join the Naawa movement and let nature awaken you!
