Amazing experience - Highlight of the trip to Stockholm! Stunningly beautiful trip. The guide was knowledgeable -- spoke both English and German (in addition to native Swedish) to accommodate members of our small group. 100% recommend! (water shoes were helpful, as they recommend, but it was possible to do the tour without getting wet feet).

Kayaking tour around Vaxholm in Stockholm Archipelago - Max our guide was excellent, we had a cold but beautful blue sky day on the water. Max provided interesting facts about the area and the 'Fika' was a very welcome treat.

Inspiring venue, expert & friendly guides. Don't miss this! - Do it! The team and equipment compliment the venue. I can't rate this highly enough. Good value for money and an expert team running the visit. I just wish that I lived close enough to go again soon.

You have to wash your kayak - Very good
But be prepared to wash your kayak after your travel. Not very cool when you’ve paid a good price and didn’t know about it.
