Very well done tour and caring guide. It’s a nice day out, only 30 mins drive from Stockholm, but the day on the water paddling among the islands feels remote. Great tour company too.

Marcus was a brilliant guide. This was the best thing I did while in Stockholm. The day out kayaking was a lovely variety of sun and storm. We stopped by at a couple of islands. Marcus gave us great knowledge on the plant life as we walked around the islands. I was able to sample wild lingon berries, juniper berries, bilberries, chives, spruce sprouts, St. John’s wort, etc. The lunch we had was fantastic, and we all enjoyed a great conversation. By the end of the day, I think the entire group had a brilliant time. 11/10 would tour the area again. Marcus was the best! Next time, I come to Sweden, I’ll be booking a tour with these guys again.

What a fun way to see the archipelago! The scenes was stunning and the small group nature really enhanced the experience. Our guides Marcus and Jonathan were spectacular!! They were knowledgeable about kayaking and the natural environment we were seeing. I had so much fun chatting with Marcus about all things Sweden, and even science and smartwatches! This was a fun and truly memorable experience!!

Was a beautiful day to kayak, just a day to be on the water and outdoors. Loved being able to climb and play on a few of the islands. Not really much to learn and we like hearing more about the area. Hard to do on a kayak tour. We enjoyed the time and when we did get a chance to talk to our guide he was very kind.
4 stars we had a van that was kind of trashed, parking break issues, tires, ac did not work, windows sticky and dirty. For the price just expected a little better experience we have done many kayak/ outdoor tours this was a first of having to clean up everything. We did not mind helping just again for the cost it was lacking .

Loved this! Great guide, fabulous scenery, and those wild boar sausages were to die for….amazing tour, we’ll be back!
Krista_M, Aug 2024
Wonderful tour with great hosts. Would highly recommemd but just consider that it is definitely a workout. Especially if it is a windy day the waves can be quite high. We did take double kayaks so that was a bit easier. Also the lunch was nice and fun to watch it be cooked over the campfire. Also it was not a full 8 hours of kayaking and a good amount of breaks in between.

Waves crashing the bow.
Going through narrow channels between islands.
Having boar sausages.
Great guide: very helpful in keeping everybody safe and telling stories

Amazing day kayaking around the most incredibly beautiful scenery. Hard work but we had the perfect day, sun was out, minimal wind. Our guide Andrew was perfect mix of instructive and relaxed. The whole day worked well. And our 12 year enjoyed it, even if I had to do most of the paddling.
Meegan_M, Aug 2024
I had a great time on the kayak tour but I have to warn people, the weather may not be perfect and that occurred for me and my fellow travelers. The rain/water/wind was rough and exhausting by the end of it. Everything was beautiful and gorgeous to look at but by the end of the it I was ready to pass out and go to bed. Its hard on the arms and body BUT the kayak tour was beautiful. So please keep this in mind!

Wow! What a beautiful day out in the archipelago. Being on the water was a very relaxing experience. Rostam is a great teacher and guide and is a fun guy to hang out with. Learning how to use a kayak was challenging and fun. The drive to and from Dalarö was scenic. We saw wildlife throughout the day. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

A very informative kayak experience everyone looking for fun lake activities in Stockholm should have!
Gretchen_B, Jul 2024
We had a truly perfect day--the tour takes place in a stunning section of the archipelago, and our guide, Andrew, was incredibly knowledgable about the surrounding islands, flora and fauna (especially the birds!), and the Baltic Sea overall. 10/10 would do this again.
Matthew_F, Jul 2024
This was just an overall great time. The guide was helpful, informative, and kind. It was a great way to spend the day and probably my favorite part of our time in Stockholm.
Shannon_D, Jul 2024
Great family experience. We loved it! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Everything was smooth from start to finish.

What a beautiful day kayaking in the archipelago! Lucas, our guide, was patient and knowledgeable. The trip was well-organized and we had a wonderful day exploring the sea and having lunch on a small island.
Lindsay_P, Jun 2024
Had a wonderful time on this tour! The meeting point was easy to find and then everything was taken care of! Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and made us feel comfortable on the water. We had plenty of time to relax during lunch and enjoy the scenery.

Although the weather was not the best, we had a really good time, Daniel was knowledgeable and showed us around the islands.
Cheyenne_G, Jun 2024
While we loved being in the city, we wanted to venture out into the wilderness of Sweden and we did just that! Our guide Daniel was super knowledgeable and we enjoyed his humor! There was only one other person that did the tour besides my husband and I, so we did double kayaks and I’m so glad we did. It was nice to be in a small group for this trip. It was a windy, but beautiful day. The paddle was a bit of a challenge due to the wind, but the scenery and adventure was enjoyable and super worth the trip!!
Barry_O, May 2024
An excellent day out and a great way to see the archipelago. Everything is catered for and the quality of the boats is too notch. The guide was down to earth and knowledgable.
Casey_R, May 2024
Lucas was an amazing tour guide. Kayak instructions were great, he cooked lunch on he island over a fire, and his tour of the island was very interesting. Would definitely recommend.
Kristina_S, May 2024
To enjoy your trip, be prepared for the weather on the day! Kayaking skirt will be provided to protect you from the water waist down but do wear a waterproof top.
Eric_H, Sep 2023
They equipped us perfectly for a much more adventurous version of kayaking than our usual. Oscar and Marlene (sp?) were both great in staying with us as the younger co-travelers pushed harder on ahead.
Federica_R, Aug 2023
We enjoyed very much this esperience, we highly reccomend it. perfect organisation and a very pleasent day in the nature
Douglas_R, Aug 2023
Great kayaking trip and our guide Oscar was so organized and helpful. I would say that this trip is for people with at least some experience kayaking. We had beautiful weather but we still spent at least 4 hours on somewhat choppy water crossing between islands. Our family loved it, but it’s not the tour you want to do if you’re brand new to kayaking. My son is 11 and he rode in a double kayak with his dad. We stopped at an island and took about a 90 minute break and had lunch. The weather was gorgeous, views spectacular, guide awesome. Delightful way to enjoy the water. Highly recommend.
Note to Americans: we were unsure if tipping was appropriate since Swedes will never ask. Turns out that tipping is not required but very much appreciated.
Richard_G, Jul 2023
A great way to spend time on the water around the archipelago, to immerse yourself in beautiful scenery and to meet others. As novices we found kayaking to be physically demanding at times - especially against the wind - but my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Kimon_P, Jul 2023
Great guide, very nice scenery. Showed also some wildfire cooking tricks. Very well
Prepared and always anticipating.
George_W, Jul 2023
Really enjoyable trip. Kayaking was great despite being restricted due to the winds, and the campfire on a remote island with our guide Lucas was a lot of fun! He even went out of his way to pick me up when I got lost trying to find the meeting point, thanks a lot!
Bill_T, Jul 2023
Amazing day and experience! I was so looking forward to the day, and all of my expectations were exceeded. The guide (Jacob) and other staff were wonderful, informative and safe. The equipment was in great condition too! I can't say enough good things
