Do this. Try this. You want to do it again and again and again. Kayaking in Vaxholm / Resarö. Kayaking! Breathe & enjoy among cobs & skerries in the archipelago. Come and feel the sea. Excellent workout for my hips & torso in a kayak in the beutiful archipelago outside Vaxholm. Was having fun & enjoying sea time a lot.

Me and my friends (total 3) were new to kayaking and also don't have much swimming experience. The instructor was very understanding and made sure we were comfortable with the water around us, and made us do some training exercises as it was our first time kayaking, and guided us along the beautiful archipelago. I would totally recommend this place. We would definitely visit again for another kayak tour. They provide you with all the necessary safety equipment as well.

Super professional, flexible and committed!! We wanted to try a new vacation option and tried kayaking for the first time. Milena arranged an extra course without hesitation and was very flexible in her handling. Appreciated!! The day was absolutely wonderful. Very good course where we went through everything from equipment, paddling technique, rescue to tips on food and clothing. Milena is an incredibly talented and committed instructor. Ended the day with a wonderfully heated sauna and a dip in the sea. This is clearly someone we want to continue with.

I had an amazing experience on the kayaking and t-rescue training for beginners. Milena is such a great guide with lot of experience and patience in training. Due to her encouragement, I was even able to try the t-rescue myself in the sea. The waters around Vaxholm is calm, sheltered and perfect for beginners as well as advanced kayakers, while the islands around offer a breathtaking view from multiple vantage points. The training was extremely thorough and genuinely helped me learn a lot, while the fika afterwards was so much fun. It was absolutely worth it!

We took a one-day course Level 1 Basic to learn the basics of kayaking and to be able to get up in the kayaks if we were to capsize m.m. It was a perfect course for us! We learned so much about paddling technique and got to practice getting in to the kayaks in all possible ways. Milena is a fantastic instructor knowledgeable, experienced with wonderful happy energy that inspires to paddle more. A very nice day with wonderful scener, she also knows a lot about the archipelago and its history which she happily shared. We have already booked the next paddling trip with Skärgårdens Kanotcenter!
