Paddle in and out of the natural wonders of the Stockholm Archipelago in this kayaking journey. From the water, you explore the area of 30,000 islands, some inhabited and some left alone to Mother Nature. Enjoy the scenery, learn, and have fun paddling for a hands-on experience!
We pick you up in the morning and drive you out to the archipelago. Here you will get a short introduction to kayaking based on your skill level. Don’t worry if you haven’t been paddling before, no previous experience is required. We then head straight into the natural paradise of Stockholm.
Depending on the route, you might paddle past dense forests, a historical fortress, “ghost islands,” or high cliffs towering over the water. The islands are as diverse as they are beautiful.
Keep your eyes open the rich bird life, such as wild swans, geese, eider, loons, arctic terns or great cormorants. We may also spot a sea eagle or two. And with some luck, some seals may swim up to say hello!When we get tired, a private island waits for us to relax and enjoy a tasty lunch. Enjoy the sun from the beach or dip into the cool waters of the Baltic Sea.
After the break, we continue paddling through the many small islands to explore and admire their beauty. Later we tie our kayaks together to enjoy a traditional Swedish “fika” of coffee and pastries. We simply float down the stream, share teatime, and soak in the atmosphere.
At the end of the day, we finish back at our meeting point. This trip lets you experience Swedish nature like no one else. Your Stockholm memories will last a lifetime, but your sore arms should be gone in a few days.Need to know before you go
