Many of the stories are completely true, others perhaps less so, but still very entertaining. Tales and legends from the north of Bohuslän and about the people who lived on the islands. All mixed with coffee and something a little stronger.

The fisherman’s son joins the tour as a troubadour, using performances, drinking songs and communal singing to guide the tour. A meal from the menu of the day is served onboard.

Please note that this guided tour must be pre-booked before 12 pm on the day of departure. Bookings must also be made for children under 6, as the boat has a maximum passenger capacity.
This trip is offered in partnership with Strömstad’s History Society.

This trip has two booking options. You can either choose the one that only visits Koster or add a visit to Ursholmen to experience this as well. You can spend 30 minutes on Ursholmen or 2.5 hours on the Koster Islands, but also fit in both.

On Ursholmen, we are met by the Lighthouse Keeper, Axel Haglund, who talks about his and his family’s life on the island. He explains in great detail how the families lived and what their daily lives looked like, and about the children who attended school both on Ursholmen and Koster. An exciting story with plenty of feeling that will take you back to a bygone era, mixed with magical views of the horizon.

The Koster Islands offer plenty to do for all the family. Activities include cycling, snorkelling, walking through a unique landscape, and a refreshing dip from one of the many beaches. After a busy morning, you have a choice of a number of nice restaurants where you can relax and enjoy a tasty meal.
