There are several guides who can show you the national park. Whether it is your first visit, or you’ve been to Ängsö many times – there is always something new to discover.

Some guides offer thematic or tailored tours by special request.

• Furusundsguide takes you on a journey through time, from the latest ice age to today. Book a full day package, starting by boat from Furusund to Ängsö National Park. Or, make a request for a tour where the guide meets you on Ängsö.
• Gula båten – boat taxi and guided tours by request.
• Stavsnäs båttaxi sometimes arrange thematic guided tours with focus botany and birdlife.

Visitors are welcome to discover Ängsö on their own. The landscape is relatively flat and easy to walk through. Although gnarly roots and stones make the ground uneven, the trails are inviting!

Hemudden, the area between the jetty for the ferry and the cottage, is wheelchair-accessible: The paths are made of packed gravel. There is a dry toilet, picknick area with a fire pit. The small houses by the water are open to the public and offer shelter from rain and wind. There are tables inside and a small exhibition about the national park. All these features are wheelchair-accessible.

Beyond the cottage, the ground becomes more uneven and the inclination more challenging. Paths are not accessible to  wheelchairs.

In spring, the ground gets saturated with water. Trails pass through wet or sensitive areas on boardwalks. In the summer, when the ground dries up, it is possible to bring a stroller along some of the trails.
