Private Winter and Summer Kayak Tour in Stockholm Archipelago

About this activity

A perfect activity for all ages and levels — even first-time paddlers love it.

You haven’t truly experienced Stockholm until you’ve glided across its glittering archipelago — quiet, calm, and breathtakingly close to nature. Feel the rush of trying something new — safe, guided, and completely private. In summer, paddle past red cottages and the historic Vaxholm Fortress before stopping on a sun-warmed island for coffee, pastries, and maybe a refreshing swim. In winter, drift through glassy, icy waters surrounded by snow-covered islands, snug in your drysuit with a steaming fika in hand. Capture moments no one else sees — serene landscapes, crisp air, and that feeling of pure peace. Make your trip truly unique — few visitors ever see the archipelago this close and personal. Experience the magic of the Stockholm Archipelago without planning a thing — even if you’ve never held a paddle before.
