Itinerary

Stockholm Archipelago

5 h 30 min

We meet at 09:00 for the full day and at 13:00 for the half day tour at our base south of Stockholm before driving together to our kayak base, a historic seaside village at the edge of the archipelago. From here, we launch into protected waters and begin our journey.

Throughout the day, we paddle between islands — navigating narrow passages, open bays and quiet granite shorelines. The pace is steady and relaxed, with time to paddle, rest and enjoy the surroundings.

Wildlife & Coastal Life

White-tailed sea eagles are often seen circling above the islands, while great cormorants rest on offshore rocks. During migration seasons, geese and other seabirds cross the open sky. The archipelago is alive — subtle, but constant.
