South Fyn is a Blue Playground
The South Fyn Archipelago is a playground for outdoors people who love water – regardless of skill and experience level. Between the many bays and inlets of the archipelago islands, you will always be able to find a suitable spot that is sheltered from the wind.
Sea Kayaking
The South Fyn Archipelago is one of Denmark’s best sea kayaking spots and a challenge for both beginners and skilled kayakers. The 55 islands and islets make it a truly special experience, in terms of nature as well as culture. It’s easy to get around due to the short distances between the islands, some of which are only populated by breeding birds.
SURFING AND STAND-UP PADDLING
Whether you are a champion at stand-up paddling, windsurfing or kitesurfing or just beginning, you will find lots of challenges off the coasts of the South Fyn Archipelago. With the coastline spanning a total of 551 km, you will always be able to find both shallow and deep water spots, regardless of the wind direction.
Underwater Hunting And Snorkeling
With its shallow waters, numerous reefs, and remains of 40 or so stone-age villages below water, the South Fyn Archipelago is a treasure chest of underwater experiences. Try going on a snorkeling trip to the magical undersea world with archaeologists from Øhavsmuseet in Faaborg and explore one of numerous spots along the archipelago coast where remains f the local stone-age community are visible on the seabed.
Wreck Dives And Shore Diving
Dive into a new experience and explore some of the many shipwrecks on the bottom of the archipelago. One of the most stunning dives is the old ferry M/F Ærøsund, which hit the seabed in 2014 after a controlled scuttling. Another cool wreck dive is the four German torpedo boats, scuttled by the Germans themselves in May 1945. They are now located on the seabed just off the coast of Valdemar’s Castle on Tåsinge.
