Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We had great fun kayaking through the archipelago! The tour was very well organised and the instructors are very knowledgable about the local area. The sauna and plunge into the freezing water was the perfect way to top off the day. Highly recommend the tour!
Honestly such a great trip - not difficult to get to from Stockholm via public transport on the Metro and then a bus. They gave us all the equipment we needed included dry suits and even provided gluten free biscuits for the fika which was brilliant. The Archipelago was super snowy so it was a lovely day out on the water!
