Traveling with a group? We’d be happy to help you plan a unique group or conference activity!
Kajkanten’s floating sauna raft offers sea swimming, a wood-fired sauna, and a hot tub – all surrounded by stunning views of the sea and granite cliffs. Book the raft for your family or group of friends and enjoy a relaxing soak and sauna experience. A true year-round favorite!
The pilot profession was once vital on Vrångö, passed down from generation to generation. In the 1930s, the last pilot moved to the nearby island of Vinga — but the small red house at the lookout point remains, now a cherished symbol of Vrångö. Climb the steps to the top and take in the breathtaking view — especially at sunset.
Vrångö is known as the top swimming island for locals from Gothenburg. With several beaches and swimming spots to choose from, there's something for everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, head beyond the walking paths and you're likely to find your very own cove or sun-warmed rock ledge to relax on.
From May to October, you can rent a kayak and explore the calm waters around Vrångö. We’ll provide all the equipment you need for a safe and enjoyable paddle. Please contact us at least a day in advance so we can help you pick a time with the best weather conditions. Payment is made on-site at the Kajkanten reception.
Take a stroll out to the pier at Hamnkrogen Lotsen. The restaurant also runs its own fish shop, and the rustic glass veranda right in the harbor offers an authentic West Coast experience. Taste Vrångö’s finest seafood — this is not to be missed!
On Vrångö, there are a total of 8 km of easily accessible hiking trails through the Vrångö Archipelago Nature Reserve. The Southern Loop, Northern Loop, and Tärnstigen Trail. You can hike here year-round, and each season offers its own unique beauty.
On Vrångö, there are 2 outdoor padel courts. Book your time online and stop by Kajkanten to rent balls and rackets.
Vrångö is a car-free island, and most people get around on foot since distances are short. If you want to travel faster or bring a bike on the ferry to visit Styrsö or Donsö, you can rent bicycles on Vrångö.
Cold sea bathing is popular and beneficial all year round. On Vrångö, there are several bathing ladders available throughout the year. When you book a cold bathing package, you get access to Kajkanten’s floating relaxation raft with a sauna.
Find checkpoints on Vrångö with the HITTA UT app. Several archipelago checkpoints are placed here, and you can pick up the map you need at Kajkanten. Activity runs April–November.
Kajkanten's employees are really passionate about giving their guests a great experience. Started with a guided tour with Håkan who told us about Vrångö and its history. The pilots delivered wonderful seafood to the party on the relaxation raft. A unique experience!
Första gången vi besökte Vrångö blev vi så förälskade att vi bestämde oss för att ta med närmsta släkt och vänner och gifta oss där. Vilket vi gjorde nu i augusti. The whole gang lived in Kajkanten's lake cabins, which are very cozy and have exactly what you need for a weekend in the archipelago. Håkan and other staff at Kajkanten are fantastic - nice, hospitable and helpful! They also helped us rent a venue where everyone could gather for celebrations.

An absolutely fantastic cozy and nice accommodation in Gothenburg's southern archipelago. We are very satisfied and would love to come back. All comfort was in the small boathouse. Vrångö is so nice. Nice visit to Hamnkrogen Lotsen with super tasty seafood. Caring and friendly staff.
