Itinerary

  1. We start off with a short introduction about the archipelago kayak day's program. A 45 minute drive by air-conditioned minivan will take you away from the city and into the archipelago. We start off with some sea kayaking instructions and safety precautions. Shortly after we're out in the Baltic Sea! We'll paddle through both small island groups and crossing open sea. The present birdlife is very rich, and swans, eagles and many other birds are seen on basically every trip. We'll pick out our own island and enjoy restaurant prepared, organic lunch. From bird colonies to ancient fortresses, there are many sights to visit along the way. Maybe we decide to enjoy some 'fika' on the way, roping all kayaks together.  Upon return we briefly conclude the day and your guide will bring you back to the meeting point safely.

About Stockholm

Stockholm is Sweden's capital, spread across islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, with a medieval old town, royal palaces and a vast archipelago.

Stockholm stands on fourteen islands joined by bridges, with water in nearly every view. Gamla Stan, the medieval Old Town, has cobbled lanes, the Royal Palace, the cathedral Storkyrkan and Stortorget square. The Vasa Museum houses a seventeenth-century warship that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was raised in 1961, one of the best-preserved ships of its age.

Top-ranked sights in Stockholm: Stockholm Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet), Stockholm Old Town (Gamla Stan), Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet).
