For private boats we recommend landing on Bengtskär only during very calm weather, because there is no guest harbour, only small docking points around the island. The jetty is reserved for the lighthouse's own cruise- and service transports at all times. Opening hours are 10am to 7pm during the summer, between June 1st and August 31st. Entrance fee including a guided tour is 7 € / person, children 3 €. Rights to price and time-table changes are reserved. |
