3 night/4 day solo paddle and wild camp trip that was an absolutely incredible experience. Staff at the center were so helpful with suggesting routes and answering all my questions. I appreciated that they had laminated guides of the local shops, WCs, and fresh water, distances of potential routes, and an enlarged guide of the immediate surrounding area. I hadn’t done a solo trip before but felt much better after talking with the staff. They also let me borrow a bike to stop at the local grocery store and get provisions before leaving. It was super easy to extend my trip by a day by just calling because I was enjoying myself so much! Camping gear was very thorough, especially compared to my usual minimalist backpacking. My only feedback would be that I didn’t like paying extra for “basic” safety gear as a solo kayaker - either include this in the price of the total rental or make it required for solo trips. By charging extra, it sets people up to be in dangerous situations.

We took a 7-day trip in July: 2 couples (2x K2) and a 13-year-old (K1). It was an unforgettable experience with superb scenery. However, the weather conditions were not always ideal (fog, wind, rain). Just Breton weather! But the sunshine soon made up for these inconveniences. I'd particularly like to thank Kanotcenter: the equipment (kayaks and Premium pack for the bivouacs) was excellent (comfortable, warm, safe...); the briefing at the start (thanks Teresa!!) was just perfect and very relevant to our expectations. We were amazed at the freedom we had to go...wherever we wanted. Bivouac anywhere, what a luxury!
On the downside, I'm an experienced kayaker. Multi-day excursions require a bit of kayaking experience, including in uncomfortable conditions: wind, rain, waves. You also need to be used to navigating with a map and compass (but that's what's so great about this experience!) and have a group ready to help each other, especially in difficult moments (fatigue, sudden fog, etc.). But it's still a very accessible adventure, because you're never far from civilization (the islands are rarely very far from each other). We were virtually self-sufficient in food. We were right to do so, even if it is possible to stock up from time to time on certain islands. It's also easy to stock up on water.
We'll be back! But this time, I'd like to try some of the offshore islands to see some seals.

Amazing 7-day trip in Archipelago!
We took a 7-day trip in July from France: 2 couples (2x K2) and a 13-year-old (K1). It was an amazing experience with superb scenery. However, the weather conditions were not always ideal (fog, wind, rain). Just Breton weather! But the sunshine soon made up for these inconveniences. I'd particularly like to thank Kanotcenter: organizing our trip (booking, payment, email exchanges) was very easy: thank you Maëli! ; the equipment (kayaks and Premium pack for the bivouacs) was excellent (very comfortable, warm, safe...); the briefing at the start (thanks Teresa!!) was just perfect (in French !!) and very relevant to our expectations. We were amazed at the freedom we had to go...wherever we wanted. Bivouac anywhere, what a luxury! On the downside, I'm an experienced kayaker. Multi-day excursions require a bit of kayaking experience, including in uncomfortable conditions: wind, rain, waves. You also need to be used to navigating with a map and compass (but that's what's so great about this experience!) and have a group ready to help each other, especially in difficult moments (fatigue, sudden fog, etc.).

We had a fantastic experience with this kayak rental center! The location at the Bogesund Nature Reserve was perfect for our two-night kayak camp out with our 2 kids. The team recommended great campsites and Maëli's assistance in Dutch was helpful for our kids. The camping equipment and boat were in great shape. Highly recommend the kayak rental center for a memorable outdoor adventure!

Wonderful Archipelago canoeing experience.
As a family (parents and two youth, 19/21yrs) we hired two double canoes for 1-3 hours (self guided) option, booking online. All straightforward. Arrived to a friendly welcome, helpful briefing of potential routes and we set off. Just loved the experience, sailing through small channels and open waters, stopping a couple of times on some of the islands, beautiful scenery. Fortunate to have good weather and relatively calm day. On return, we did have to quickly wipe the boats down, but personally not a problem to us ( we had used them!) . Really enjoyable experience. Arrived by public transport ( 670 bus) right outside the venue, from Stockholm where we were staying, using SL app which provided us with route. Really easy. Thanks for a fantastic, fun afternoon experience!

My husband and I booked five days of kayaking with camping equipment and found the whole experience awesome due to Skargarden's help. All the kit they provided was great quality, such as roomy Jack Wolfskin tents. There were also small details, like lighters as well as matches provided and additional gas canisters, that we didn't expect but appreciated.

The folks were also super helpful when it came to suggestions for our trip. Recommended campsites, maps, ideal islands to visit, and advice on apps and weather forecasts were greatly appreciated. The team here were really attentive and made our trip memorable. Would definitely recommend!

Wild, wet, luxurious
We are a 60+ couple and went on a 10 day trip in the archipelago in moderate weather, discovering small skerries "far out", islands with an Astrid Lindgren atmosphere, a luxury hotel on Grinda, public saunas just for ourselves and bright nights - exceedingly beautiful! So much help and expertise from the young people at the Canot enter and their excellent boats and equipment - we will return next year!

We did a multi day trips (3 nights in total), it was an amazing experience ! The archipelago is very beautiful, we can say it was the perfect Swedish summer dream !
As we were beginners, the crew of the Kanotcenter took time to give us many useful advices regarding safety, routes, campsites as well as how to plan your days depending on the weather forecast.
The multi day kayaks for 2 persons have plenty of space to carry tents, sleeping bags, foods, water… no worries for that !
Thank you very much, we fully recommend this Kanotcenter if you want to go on a kayaking trip in the archipelago !

I 100% recomment this place to rent a kayak! We went for 5 days and had a blast. The camping gear you receive here is top notch and they also have good route options and informations before you head out on the water.

We did the 3 days 2 nights double kayak outdoor package and had such a amazing time kayaking and camping in the archipelagos. Andy ans his team are very very kind, helpful and knowledgeable people who give you good instructions in terms of safety and where to kayak and camp. Tent, sleeping bags and mats, cooking gear and plenty dry bags are included in the package. Can highly recommend the place and the experience! We will come back for sure.
