Description
Discover the natural beauty of the Stockholm Archipelago on a private guided kayak tour, tailored just for your group. Paddle through a breathtaking landscape of over 30,000 islands, where calm waters, forested islets, and granite cliffs create the perfect setting for a Swedish outdoor experience—just 30 minutes from downtown Stockholm.
Choose from three unique private kayak tours to match your interests, energy level, and schedule:
• Half-Day Kayak Tour with Fika
Enjoy a gentle paddle among the islands near Vaxholm, perfect for beginners and families. Your local guide will lead you through narrow straits and around tiny islands before stopping on a peaceful beach or cliff for a traditional Swedish “fika”—freshly brewed coffee or tea and homemade cinnamon buns, enjoyed in nature.
• Full-Day Kayak Adventure with Outdoor Lunch
For adventurous spirits, this tour takes you deeper into the archipelago. Spend a full day on the water, paddling past remote islands, open bays, and hidden coves. Midway through, land on a scenic island where your guide will prepare a hearty outdoor lunch using fresh ingredients—grilled or cooked over an open flame. There’s time to swim, explore, or just relax in the sun.
• Sunset Chill Kayak Tour
End your day in the most peaceful way possible. Paddle in golden evening light as the archipelago slows down for the night. This laid-back tour is ideal for couples or friends who want to enjoy nature at a slower pace. With fewer boats and a calm atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to disconnect and recharge.
All tours are led by certified local kayak guides, and include all necessary equipment such as stable sea kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and dry bags. No previous kayaking experience is needed—your guide will give a full safety and paddling introduction before heading out.
Your private group will have the flexibility to go at your own pace, ask questions, and focus on what you enjoy most—whether it's learning about archipelago wildlife, practicing your paddling skills, or just soaking in the silence.
This is more than just a tour. It’s a chance to experience Sweden like a local—through nature, simplicity, and a sense of adventure.
