Description

Discover the natural beauty of the Stockholm Archipelago on a private guided kayak tour tailored for your group. Paddle through calm waters surrounded by forested islets and granite cliffs, just 30 minutes from central Stockholm.

Select from three private kayak tours to suit your interests and schedule:

• Half-Day Kayak Tour with Fika: A gentle paddle near Vaxholm, perfect for beginners and families. Visit narrow straits and small islands before stopping for a traditional Swedish fika with coffee or tea and homemade cinnamon buns.
• Full-Day Kayak Adventure with Outdoor Lunch: Explore deeper into the archipelago, paddling past remote islands and hidden coves. Stop midway for a hearty outdoor lunch grilled over an open flame, with time to swim, explore, or relax.
• Sunset Chill Kayak Tour: Paddle in the golden evening light, ideal for couples or friends wanting a peaceful experience with fewer boats and calm waters.

All tours are led by certified local guides and include stable sea kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and dry bags. No prior kayaking experience is required; your guide will provide a safety and paddling introduction.

Your group has flexibility to set the pace, ask questions, and focus on preferred activities such as wildlife spotting or improving paddling skills.
