Join us on this extraordinary adventure, where the Stockholm Archipelago becomes not just a destination, but a journey of the soul.
This will be an unforgettable full-day kayak adventure in the Stockholm Archipelago, where you’ll enjoy a day full of fun and excitement on the Baltic Sea! It’s all about exploring beautiful places, seeing local wildlife, and enjoying a delicious outdoor lunch on an island. If you love kayaking and the idea of an adventure far away from the crowded city center makes you excited, this is perfect for you.
We’ll navigate around various islands, each showing off the Archipelago’s natural beauty from a new angle. And with a bit of luck, we’ll also see local wildlife, including seals and coastal birds. Our journey includes Bogesunds nature reserve and the charming area of Vaxholm before we head out deeper in the Archipelago.
During our journey, we’ll take a break on land for a traditional Swedish fika, enjoy a delightful outdoor lunch, and have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the sea. A feast for both body and soul!
Embrace the joy of active exploration with a day packed full of paddling, where getting far and welcoming tired arms means a day well spent.
This trip is tailored for those who have kayaked before or anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle and loves being outdoors and on the water.

Frequently asked questions
Outdoor clothes should be chosen based on the weather forecast. Avoid cotton and opt for quick-drying fabrics or merino wool instead. Quick-dry hiking pants or shorts, a thermal top, and wet shoes or sandals with proper straps (shoes you don’t mind getting wet) are recommended. Make sure to pack a fleece too, just in case it gets chilly later in the day.
Kayaking is an adventure in any weather. In Sweden, we say, ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.’ You’ll be amazed at how enjoyable it can be to paddle, rain or shine (though let’s hope for more shine!). Just make sure to wear the right outdoor clothing and remember, you might get wet even when it’s not raining – that’s just part of the kayaking experience!
Additionally, we provide wind and waterproof kayak jackets. During thunderstorms or very strong winds, we may have to cancel or reschedule tours for safety reasons.
If it’s your first time in a kayak, we recommend booking our beginner-friendly sunset kayaking or half-day tour.
