You get the story of “When the English fleet was sighted at Vinga” We pass the English free port under Napoleon’s continental block between Fotö and Risö1807-1812. What happened on the last day of World War II at Fotö 8 May, 1945 and the fate of the German submarine U-3503 and its crew. The stories are exciting for children and adults.

On the way to Vinga stops at a seal colony without disturbing. Where we see the seals in their real environment while the skipper tells how they live and feel. Have the camera ready!

The visit to Vinga island is about 1½ hour. There you can discover Vinga on your own, take a dip in the clear water by the harbor or in Gattulvsviken, see the lighthouse, visit Evert Taube in the museum, buy an ice cream or souvenir in the harbor kiosk. Or eat the ordered food, the place for a lunch is hard to beat.

You can also go on a guided tour with Winga friends. Then you get the story of Vinga and life on the island. Go 115 steps up to the lighthouse and get a wonderful view. Visit the “beacon” and the museum in Evert Taube’s childhood home.

On the journey back that goes through natural harbors, the skipper continues his stories.
