Stockholm Archipelago – or in Swedish ‘skärgården’ – is a unique world of some 25,000 islands and skerries that begins just 30 minutes away from Stockholm city centre. It is a perfect place for island-hopping and kayaking trips with overnight.
For beginners we recommend our stable double kayaks with rudders. These kayaks are design for expeditions, for covering long distance and fitting all your gear inside hatches. Canoes (for two adults) are available for short getaways and exploring the inner, sheltered waters.
We are happy to provide additional equipment for your paddling trip. For your own safety and our peace of mind you should be consider having spare and safety gear. Please check the list of additional items you may need, depending on your plans.
