Experience the Stockholm Archipelago like never before—paddle through serene waters as the sun sets, casting golden hues across the sky. Sip refreshing lemonade in your kayak and enjoy every peaceful moment of this magical evening.
Paddle into the Golden Glow
As the sun dips below the horizon, marvel at the breathtaking colors reflecting on the water, creating a peaceful and unforgettable experience.
Enjoy a glass of cool lemonade right in your kayak, adding a touch of luxury to the serene atmosphere as you drift along the archipelago. The slow pace of the tour creates a calming environment, perfect for savoring the moment, without the rush, and enjoying the tranquility of nature.
Keep an eye out for beavers, seals, and coastal birds. The peacefulness of the evening brings native animals such as beavers, seals, and coastal birds closer to the shoreline, giving you the chance to witness their natural behavior in this calm setting.
Leave the noise of Stockholm behind and embrace the tranquil beauty of the archipelago. This is not a guided adventure with constant narration – it’s a chance to truly disconnect, be present, and absorb the peaceful sounds of nature around you, from the gentle lapping of the water to the birds in the sky.
Don’t miss out on the ultimate finish to your adventure – a traditional sauna session after your paddle, the perfect way to relax and make the evening truly unforgettable.

Absolutely! This tour is beginner-friendly, and your guide will give you a quick introduction before we start. The waters are calm, making it a great experience even for first-time paddlers. However, a moderate level of physical fitness is recommended.
