September 8, 2025
There is something truly special about September in the archipelago. After the lively summer, a calm stillness settles over Vrångö – yet beneath the surface, it still bubbles with excitement and anticipation. The air grows crisp, sunsets turn more dramatic than ever, and honestly, can we ever get enough of the magical glow of bioluminescence? We don’t think so!
Autumn Cozy (HÖSTMYS)
Many of our guests choose to book our AUTUMN RETREAT package, where the days are filled with hiking, time on the sauna raft, and quality time in and around our seaside boathouses. September often brings sunny days, but with fresher air that makes it even cozier to curl up in an armchair with a blanket and something warm in your cup when evening falls.
Lobster Season
At the end of September, the long-awaited lobster season kicks off – a major highlight in the archipelago! The sea fills with fishing boats, and along the piers people excitedly discuss their catches and lucky traps. For many, it’s a beloved tradition that marks the true start of autumn, and you can’t help but notice a hint of competitiveness in the air – even among friends…
Hiking Day
September also brings Hiking Day – the perfect opportunity to explore the beautiful trails of Vrångö and the surrounding archipelago. Here you’ll find heather-covered heathlands, smooth sea-polished cliffs, and woodlands where autumn colors start to glow. The hikes are easy to access, yet they still offer a sense of adventure – with the sea always present at your side.
This year, in collaboration with STF, Algblomman, and Glittskär, you can book one of two guided hikes on Hiking Day: a seaweed walk along the shoreline with Karolina, or a trip to the beautiful lighthouse site at Tistlarna with Mattias.
The Beautiful Light
And perhaps most magical of all – the September light. Sunsets deepen in color, the sea shifts between steel gray and turquoise, and every walk across the cliffs becomes its own little nature experience.
In short: September is the month when the archipelago reveals some of its very finest sides. Perfect if you’re looking for peace, nature experiences, and that little extra golden touch to everyday life.
