Archipelago Kayaking & Island Lunch

Dress for the weather! We recommend comfortable outdoor clothing and a windproof jacket. We provide paddling jackets for extra warmth if needed. There’s a beach at the end where you can swim, so don’t forget your swimsuit and towel!

• Outdoor clothes suitable for the weather forecast
• Swimsuit and towel
• Sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat)
• Wet shoes or sport sandals with straps
• If you wear glasses, secure them with a strap to prevent losing them in the water.

This full-day tour is beginner-friendly, and your guide will give you a short introduction before we start. However, if it’s your first time kayaking and you’re unsure, you might want to consider our shorter 4-hour Kayak & Fika or Sunset Tour instead. A moderate level of physical fitness is recommended.

We mainly use 2-person kayaks as they’re easy to paddle and perfect for most participants. If you’re paddling solo and have experience, you may be given a 1-person kayak. In case of an odd number of participants, we may pair up people to ensure everyone has a great experience. Our guide will assist with this! 😊

We don’t offer hotel pick-up, except for private group bookings upon request. But don’t worry—getting here is simple! Just follow the steps below, and you’ll be on your way to an amazing adventure. 🚣✨
