Highlights
  • Dalarö Kajak - We’ll meet at 09.00 at the office south of Stockholm before driving together to Dalarö, a charming little village, from where we’ll begin paddling with our kayak . On the way it’ll come to your notice, one of those magnificent little wooden red houses, discreetly placed among the pines.

We’ll explore different islands by kayak all along the day. Our kayak tour will be granted by a filling meal that we will share on one of the deserted islands. There, we’ll take time to rest, with only companion the swell of the Baltic and the singing birds. In the end of the afternoon, we will paddle towards Dalarö our starting point. We’ll go around other islands and get the opportunity to see other fantastic things from this part of the archipelago that is probably one of the nicest and wildest. It’d be magic to see a sea eagle circling around the islands, looking for the ideal prey. Maybe one of those numerous migratory birds like different types of goose or this famous great cormorant flying over the horizon on the direction to the north.

The head full of memories and after have been refilled with pure air, we’ll return to Stockholm to come back to the joy of the civilisation.

Additional Information

Total escape from the city

Just a 45-minute journey from Stockholm can transport you, along with your family, your significant other, or a group of friends, to a serene haven for a day!

The Stockholm archipelago presents an idyllic and calming refuge due to its distinctive landscape that paints its unique identity. This archipelago consists of around 30,000 islands nestled in the peaceful waters of the Baltic sea. Originally, these were resting spots for farmers and fishermen, or trading outposts during the Viking era. The islands, often unoccupied, are clusters of rocks and trees, appearing as domes rising above the water surface, contributing to the region’s one-of-a-kind character.

Embodying an essential disconnect from urban life and everything else, this natural labyrinth offers a refreshing contrast for anyone choosing to visit Sweden for an extended weekend or a few days, for example. Embark on an adventure that will provide an alternate perspective of Sweden.

Fantastic Day! - As the title says, we had a fantastic day kayaking around the Stockholm archipelago! Our guide Daniel was friendly and accommodating and had excellent knowledge of the whole area. We stopped for a campfire lunch on one the of the small uninhabited islands. It was my first time kayaking and what an incredibly memorable experience, a real treat! Vielen Dank, Daniel! Es war ein wundervoller Tag!

10/10 Beautiful kajak tour in the archipelago - I can only recommend this tour, we really had a lot of fun! I was in a double kajak with my mom and we were both relatively inexperienced (I've kajaked once and my mom has never been in one before), even though it was a bit of a bumpy ride home cause the wind had picked up, our tour guide navigated and explained everything very well! Also the lunch break was very cosy with some excellent veggie meatballs for me as a vegetarian :)

Great family experience! - My 3 children (young adults and teenagers) took this excursion with their grandpa. They loved the experience, thanks to Daniel who made them have a great time, a picnic on top with campfire and cooking on site with fire. They came back with great memories! Daniel was very kind and answered all their many questions. A big thank you!

Perfect day kayaking - Amazing day kayaking around the most incredibly beautiful scenery. Hard work but we had the perfect day, sun was out, minimal wind. Our guide Andrew was perfect mix of instructive and relaxed. The whole day worked well. And our 12 year enjoyed it, even if I had to do most of the paddling.

Brilliant day outside the city - Very lucky to have truly perfect summer weather and minimal. Andrew, our guide, and was brilliant. Such a lovely guy, very helpful and focused on our safety. After three days of walking round the city, it was so cool to get outside, do a bit of exercise and see the beautiful countryside. And the small group worked really well and everyone was great fun. Thanks Andrew for a fabulous day.

Be prepared! - I had a great time on the kayak tour but I have to warn people, the weather may not be perfect and that occurred for me and my fellow travelers. The rain/water/wind was rough and exhausting by the end of it. Everything was beautiful and gorgeous to look at but by the end of the it I was ready to pass out and go to bed. Its hard on the arms and body BUT the kayak tour was beautiful. So please keep this in mind!

You’ll love it - We loved the Baltic Sea! Beautiful views and weather couldn’t have been more perfect, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Tour guide was great and went at our pace, never made us feel like we were slowing him down. He had fun with us and taught us so many different things. This tour is a must!
