Stockholm Archipelago Kayaking Tour – Half and Full Day Options

Explore the Stockholm Archipelago by kayak with half-day and full-day tours suitable for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

Tour Highlights

  • Discover the unique Stockholm Archipelago with thousands of islands
  • Enjoy a tasty lunch on a private island (full-day tour only)
  • Hike to spectacular viewpoints while exploring islands on foot (full-day tour only)
  • Optional cliff jumping for adventurous participants
  • Air-conditioned minivan transport to and from the archipelago

Description

The full-day tour (eight hours) includes kayaking, an island visit, a viewpoint hike, and an outdoor lunch on a private island. The half-day tour (five and a half hours) features kayaking with floating fika—coffee and snacks on the water—but does not include lunch or an island visit.

We operate from multiple kayak bases located in different parts of the archipelago to provide sheltered waters regardless of wind direction. This setup enhances safety and reduces cancellations due to weather.

Meet your guide at our centrally located 'Urban Basecamp' in Stockholm. After an introduction and kayak adjustment, you’ll travel by minivan (about 30 minutes) to the archipelago. Kayak basics are covered before setting off.

Paddle through diverse islands with opportunities to observe local wildlife, including birds, seals, and potentially white-tailed eagles. Routes vary depending on weather to ensure safety, returning by a different path if conditions allow. The tour ends with a return to base and drop-off back in central Stockholm around 5:00 PM.

What’s Included

  • Roundtrip transportation from the meeting point
  • Experienced tour guide
  • Kayak rental and safety equipment
  • Lunch on the full-day tour
  • Swedish fika—coffee and cakes—on the half-day tour

Booking Tips
