Reviewed By BeachStone2C - Helsinki, Finland
It is a 1.5-2h hour boat trip from Kotka to Kaunissaari - and it’s a free ride. The boat has restroom and seat but no services, bring your own drinks and snacks. The island is idyllic and historical. It is made for a bicycle trip around the island. There are some basic services and small museums on the island. Make sure you check the boat / ferry schedule, every weekday seems to be different.
