What To Expect
The Green Trails
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.

5.00My half day kayaking was probably the highlight of my trip to Stockholm. The nature is amazing and my guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He gave us a great day and I would recommend this to anyone going to Stockholm!!
Ruined my day. Nobody at meeting point and no response back either.

1.00Nobody there at the 62 address they gave for meeting point. Same address on booking and ticket so there was no mistake on our part . We waited and waited for someone to arrive. They did not answer our texts or emails or calls. Such a disappointment ! And it cost us two Ubers to get there and back from hotel.
Fantastic winter kayaking experience in Stockholm — and a huge part of that was our guide, Marcus.

5.00Fantastic winter kayaking experience in Stockholm — and a huge part of that was our guide, Marcus. This didn’t feel like a cookie-cutter tour at all. Marcus was calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to both the conditions and the group. He took the time to explain what we were doing, adjusted the pace when needed, and always kept safety front and center without it ever feeling restrictive. His knowledge of the area really added to the experience, and his teaching style made everything feel approachable and confidence-building, even in winter conditions. You could tell he genuinely cared about us having a great (and safe) time out on the water. Based on this experience, I’d absolutely recommend this company — it’s clear they hire excellent guides. If you’re lucky enough to get Marcus, you’re in very good hands.
beautiful paddling experience

5.00We had the most fantastic day with our lovely and highly knowledgeable guide Marcus. The scenery was absolutely stunning and we learned so much about local fauna and flora, sampling bilberries, juniper berries, chives and spruce leaves along the way. This was the highlight of our Scandinavian trip and we’ll be recommending it to everyone we know.

5.00Excellent experience, Marc guided us to explore the nature of this archipelago both on the water by kayak and on the mainland of some islets where we docked.
Brilliant way to see the archipelago!

5.00This was an excellent trip. Marcus was a brilliant guide, making sure everyone was set up correctly, adjusting the pace to accommodate everyone but also providing opportunities for more experienced kayakers to enjoy some space and work on their skills. The island stop offs were made extremely interesting by his knowledge of all things nature related. I can highly recommend this trip as a brilliant way to see the archipelago!
