The adventure begins at Skärgårdens Kanotcenter, where you’ll meet your friendly guide and take part in a short safety briefing.

Follow your guide as you explore the beauty of the Stockholm Archipelago and admire the sprawling natural landscapes which includes luscious green meadows and old oak trees.

Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, find the perfect spot for a rest and enjoy a typical Swedish “fika”, also known as a coffee break. After your refreshments, head back into the water and watch out for the reserve’s array of native wildlife including beavers and coastal birds. At the end of an unforgettable experience, it’s time to begin the journey back to the starting point, marvelling at the last of the views along the way.
