Duration:
05:30 hours
Description
Kayaking is the best way to explore the heart of the Stockholm Archipelago. Paddle around Vaxholm, sometimes called the capital of the archipelago, and experience outstanding nature with plenty of wildlife.
The adventure begins at Skärgårdens Kanotcenter, where you’ll meet your kayaking guide and take part in a short safety briefing. Once you’re familiar with the basic paddling and safety rules, it's time to hop into your sea kayak and explore the archipelago from the perspective of the water.
Follow your guide as you paddle around islands, admire typical picturesque wooden cottages and explore the beauty of Vaxholm. With its famous fortress, it's the perfect place to get the full archipelago experience. Immerse yourself in the spectacular natural environment, despite being just 30-minutes from Stockholm. After we’ve done some work out, it’s time to enjoy a "fika" on an island, also known as the Swedish coffee break… and perhaps a dip in the Baltic sea for those who wish.
Returning to the water, watch out for local wildlife like beavers and coastal birds, making the experience even more magical. At the end of an unforgettable experience, it’s time to begin the journey back to the starting point, admiring the last of the views along the way.
After kayaking, there is the opportunity to book sauna to add a little luxury to the experience. Contact us ahead.
