Reset by the water. Then go explore.

The Base Camp rhythm (2–3 nights):

• Night 1: Arrive. Moor or check in. Hot shower. Sleep by the water.

• Day 1: Pick one great day: summit, national park, sea day, or forest pause.

• Day 2: Your bonus day: slower, wilder, or simply quieter.

Start light. We’ll help you choose.

The High Coast works best when you pick a simple starting point first. Then everything else follows.

Anna e Tommaso — Docksta Havet Base Camp

We share the idea of a base camp to start from and discover the Höga Kusten with a light soul and a tiny rucksack

The marina is the starting point for experiencing the High Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning archipelago landscape, which is not just for sailors.

The Höga Kusten offers opportunities for a variety of unforgettable outdoor vacation experiences, from hiking to peaceful getaways. It is also ideal for individuals who enjoy exploring travel alone on undeveloped paths, for somewhat active couples seeking a more genuine connection with the natural world, and for families seeking to share both big and small outdoor adventures.

Seaside lodgings for big outdoor days in Höga Kusten

Sleep by the water. Wake up ready.

Our piers and the waterfront lodgings, which face the Docksta fjord, are neighboring Skuleberget Mount and the national park Skuleskogen. For those who enjoy the outdoors and hiking, this is a wonderland.

In Docksta, an incredible backdrop is provided by the magnificent mountains of Skuleberget, Vårdkallberget, Getsvedjeberget, Herrestaberget, and Fäberget.

Skuleskogen National Park is a wonderful jewel of Nordic wilderness to explore on foot by following the amazing trails that weave between the coastline and the mountain ranges. The park boasts granite summits, sandy beaches, ancient forests, and lakes that resemble mirrors.

Starting from our piers, there are paths to explore, panoramic peaks to reach, a special wind shelter where to stop, an extraordinary mountain to hike or climb, a beautiful island to discover by ferry, many family-friendly walks in nature, excursions to the national park with the midnight sun, trail running challenges on rough paths, and infinite unique spots between the sea and forests.

This is not about extremes. It’s about a simple rhythm: sleep well, reset, then go explore. Start from Docksta, and pick one great day.

You are welcome to stay at the Base Camp

The cozy, compact room of a true Nordic boathouse is available for single or double occupancy. The Dock House, which is a glamorous lodging above the water, features a 40-square-meter cabin with a living room, kitchenette, and a spectacular double bed facing the sea. A spacious, fully furnished apartment overlooking the Docksta fjord with a stunning sea view is ideal for a family or groups of friends. 

Whether you're looking for a place to stay for a long weekend or holiday week while you discover everything the archipelago has to offer, or if you're just staying for one night before setting out along the Höga Kusten Leden, every one of our coastal Airbnbs at the Base Camp has the "ingredients" required to make a vacation special and unforgettable. Following your outdoor pursuits, unwind and take pleasure in being near the sea.

So, load up your lighter backpack with gear for adventure outdoor or take a book for some downtime, and utilize our accommodations as a base to experience this World Heritage Site anyway you see fit.
