In October, the woodland groves turn deep red and golden, and the air is clear and crisp. The sea changes character – sometimes calm and mirror-like, at other times powerful and stormy – a reminder of nature’s rhythm and strength.
October is lobster fishing season, and this is when the fishing is at its most active. Join our own Vrångö fisherman, Mattias, as he takes you out to sea aboard the fishing boat Glitthav to haul lobster pots. Experiencing lobster fishing up close is one of the great highlights of autumn in the archipelago, where tradition and deep knowledge of the sea are woven together.
Autumn is also a wonderful time for hiking. Head out into the nature reserve, along trails that wind through shifting colours and up to viewpoints where the horizon opens wide. As the day draws to a close, warming sauna moments await – book the Sauna Raft for socialising, swimming and unwinding. A wood-fired sauna, hot tub and a refreshing dip in the sea are all part of October.
Seafood can be delivered directly to your boathouse or to the Sauna raft, if you wish. During October, Seaweed & Tapas is also arranged together with food creator Karolina Martinson – an experience where the flavours of the sea take centre stage. For those who can get away on weekdays, Autumn Retreat is available: stay two nights for the price of one and enjoy access to the relaxation raft during your stay.
October on Vrångö is autumn at its most present – raw, beautiful and warming all at once.
Welcome to a salty experience in Gothenburg’s southernmost archipelago, where you get to participate in hauling lobster traps yourself. Lobster evening at the cozy harbor restaurant Lotsen. Vrångö’s own fisherman will pick you up by boat and take you out to sea. Available for booking on weekends during lobster season.
The Vrångö Package is perfect for those who want to experience Vrångö for a night or two, enjoy fresh seafood while relaxing in Kajkanten’s boathouse. The Fisherman’s seafood box and breakfast basket are delivered straight to your cabin from Hamnkrogen Lotsen.
Vrångö offers scenic hiking trails, always close to the sea and set within the magical archipelago landscape. A two-day package for those who want to welcome autumn in the archipelago.
The Sauna Raft is just as perfect for cosy family time as it is for a group of friends. Ideal for a small party or an after-work get-together, but also great if you simply want to treat yourself to a few hours of relaxation. A real highlight in October.
Two nights for the price of one, Sunday – Wednesday. To make your stay even cozier, we invite you to a morning on the relaxation raft, where the wood-fired sauna and hot tub await – the perfect start to a crisp autumn day by the sea, completely included.
Look for checkpoints on Vrångö using the HITTA UT app. Several of the archipelago’s checkpoints are located on Vrångö, and the map you’ll need along the way can be picked up at Kajkanten. An outdoor activity to enjoy from April to November.
