Fly by helicopter over the Stockholm archipelago. At HeliAir Sweden we fly a range of routes shaped around what you want to see.

Some destinations in the Stockholm archipelago you can fly to by helicopter

Vaxholm: often called the capital of the archipelago, a picturesque island with a long history and rows of old timber houses. A flight here gives you a fine view of Vaxholm Fortress, which dates from the sixteenth century and sits at the centre of the archipelago’s defensive history.

Sandhamn: a busy and popular island on the outermost edge of the archipelago, facing the open sea. Known for its sailing and its nautical character, Sandhamn has white sand beaches and an easy atmosphere that suits a day trip.

Grinda: a charming island of rock, woodland and beach. It is smaller and quieter than its neighbours, which makes it a good choice for a calm day outdoors. There is walking here, and kayaking.

Utö: one of the southernmost islands in the Stockholm archipelago, combining good country with real history. The island is known for its cycle routes and its geology, including the old iron mines, and there are several cafés and restaurants.

Fjäderholmarna: the archipelago islands closest to the city, a short flight from the centre. They offer a good range of craft workshops and local food, along with attractive open country for a shorter outing.

Möja: known for having kept a genuine archipelago culture and landscape. It is one of the larger islands, with well-preserved fishing harbours, traditional houses and good walking. Möja is a favourite among people who want the authentic version of archipelago life.
