Full description

Paddle a kayak in the Stockholm Archipelago and marvel at the thousands of uninhabited small islands that dot one of the wildest areas in Europe. Enjoy a tour that is suitable for those with experienced paddlers and those who have never tried kayaking before. Find the techniques easy to learn during a short training session, then set off with your guide on a journey of discovery. The guides are experienced paddlers and experts on the archipelago's history, its flora, and its fauna.

1-Day Tour

This full-day tour will have you paddling at an easy tempo that suits both beginners and those more experienced as well. Discover the best of the islands, skerries, and inlets. Surprisingly few visitors come here and it is easy to find a deserted island to take a swim and stop for a rest while enjoying a tasty, well-prepared lunch on the sun-warmed rocks. After more exploration, enjoy a Fika before heading back to dry land and then to the city. Arrive back in the city at approximately 5 PM.

2 or 3-Day Tour

Head out on an easy 2 or 3-day sea kayaking trip and explore some of the thousands of islands in the Stockholm Archipelago. Paddle in search of paradise, cook some delicious meals, and camp in tents on smooth, sun-warmed rock slabs on your own wild island.

Very relaxing and adventurous tour in beautiful surroundings.

Nice tour! Enjoy your meal! Very competent guide! Unfortunately the information regarding luggage (packing list was missing) and transfer (Slussen-Stävnass, and back, no tickets ?!) were rather poor. During the tour we talked to the other participants about who had or got what information. The participant from Sweden had the most, we had a little less and the participants from France the least. However, we generally rate the tour very positively.

An nice Trip that showed the beautiful landscape of the Archipelago.

Although the day started raining the weather turned out nicely. The "short" trip to get to the starting point was a little sightseeing tour by itself. After some short instructions we headed out with the kayaks. It's about 1 1/2h to get to this place but it feels like you are in a different place fare off the civilization... if you enjoy watching nature you will definitely enjoy this trip :)

Fantastic experience

It's a great experience. As a complete beginner the very friendly and knowledgeable guide was super helpful. Would highly recommend this and hope to be back out there myself.
