About the area
around Hönö, Öckerö and Hälsö
Welcome to the archipelago!
Here are a few tips—some of my personal favorites—on what the local tourism industry has to offer. For more information, please see Visit Öckerö's website, which provides a more comprehensive list of what’s available to you as a visitor to our beautiful archipelago.
The distances aren't very long out here, so it's a great idea to get around on and between our islands by bike. Rent a bike offers bike rentals on Hönö, Nimbus Farm on Öckerö.
Eating and living
In the harbor, right on the quayside, in Hönö Klåva is the newly established and fresh Skärgårdshotellet Hönö, which also has its own restaurant; Skafferiet.
On Öckerö you will find Nimbusgården which has both a restaurant and a hostel.
Just eat
In the harbor area of Hönö Klåva, you’ll find a wide variety of great dining options. Here’s a selection:
The incredibly popular seafood restaurant with the absolute best location is Restaurang Tullhuset.
Another equally popular and well-established restaurant is Skafferiet at Skärgårdshtellet. In between lies the archipelago pub Franses, and if you like sushi, Sancho Sushi (no website yet) is something truly special.
On Öckerö , there’s a lovely harbor café, and at Hälsö Harbor, you’ll find Hälsö Brygga.
Just stay
There is a lovely hostel at Havskatten in Hönö Röd, right near the Ersdalen Nature Reserve. The picturesque Hönö Sjöbodar is also located in the same area
. Mooring spots are available in the harbor areas at Hönö Klåva, Hönö Röd, Hälsö, Öckerö, and Fotö.
Culture
Fishing was once a key industry on our islands. Things are different today, but at the harbour in Hönö Klåva you can visit the Fishing Museum and get a picture of our historical everyday life.
TheArt Wave is an art walk and a recurring cultural event organized every year. The wave rolls over most of the municipality's ten islands and in 2022 the Art Wave will take place on 6-7/8.
Finally: if your body hasn't had enough of challenges on my nature walk, you can get a really sweaty workout in nice premises at Nordic Wellness.
