Solo travel to Turku archipelago?

Hey everyone!

I'm an international student living in Oulu. I've been researching places to travel somewhere by myself and I liked the Turku archipelago.

For some context, I've never solo travelled before, so the idea is pretty scary to me. But I really want an experience like this. I have some questions.

Would it be a good place to travel to solo? I saw the Laivahostel Bore, which looks like a hostel in a ship? Do you think it's a good place to stay if I'm travelling alone? I would prefer cheap accomodation.

From what I saw, you need to use the ferry to go to the archipelago. What would the travelling situation be like? I don't have a car or a bike, but would I be able to rent a bike somewhere? Would buses and walking be enough?

Any suggestions of any other places for a solo traveller? What other activities/places would you suggest there?

I've also never planned a trip before so it's pretty intimidating and I don't even know how and where to start.

If I can overcome my fear, I would love to visit there in August, for a weekend.

Would love any tips and suggestions. Thanks!
