From Stockholm: 2-Day Stockholm Archipelago Kayak Tour

1. From Stockholm: 2-Day Stockholm Archipelago Kayak Tour

Day one: After going through all of the gear, maps and techniques we set out on our multiple day kayak tour. We start off in a sheltered bay, paddling between two cliffs to avoid head wind and waves to get the hang of it. We stay close to the shore, and after some hours it's time for lunch. After a short hike to a viewpoint, we can see many of the islands that we will visit during the following days. We continue paddling and move towards the island groups. Maybe we'll even spot some swimming deer! During late afternoon / early evening we make camp and enjoy the rhythmical sound of the sea, birds and the absence of everything else. We enjoy a campfire meal which we prepare together. Later we share stories, but not before taking out the kayaks one more time to experience the sunset from the water! Day two: Rise and shine for yet another day of adventure! After a healthy breakfast we eagerly set out once again. We cross a short stretch of open sea and arrive to yet another group of islands. The ever changing environment never seems to bore. On the way we meet swans, white tailed eagles and more curious birds. We pick any island for lunch before starting to paddle back!

Stockholm: 3-Day Archipelago Kayaking and Camping

2. Stockholm: 3-Day Archipelago Kayaking and Camping

Day 1: You'll begin by driving to the kayak station for about 45–60 minutes. From there your guide will decide the route, taking into consideration the abilities of the group and weather conditions as they do so. Before the tour starts your guide will provide advanced safety and paddling instruction techniques, after which once you are ready, it will be time to hop into the kayak and start paddling. The first part of the trip requires about 2 hours of paddling. It will then be time for the first lunch break on one of the many islands. Following lunch, the tour continues with about 2 hours of paddling, providing great vantage points over the beauty of the archipelago. There are many picture opportunities on the way before the group stops for a second break and some snacks. When you’re ready you will finish the final paddling part of the day, after which you will search for a camping location for the evening. Day 2: Enjoy your breakfast with some stunning views over the ocean. After breakfast, it’s time to pack the equipment and get back into the kayak. You will then travel for several miles on the water, further out to the edge of the archipelago. This area is completely remote and uninhabited, and following some hours paddling in your kayak the group will stop for lunch on one of the small islands. This will also prove the perfect location to go on a small hike, and on your way back your lunch will be prepared, ready, and waiting for you. From there, it’s time to slowly turn around and look for another fantastic camping spot in the wilderness of the archipelago. As soon as your group finds a camping spot you'll place your tent and relax for a while before dinner preparation starts. Following dinner, feel free to join the group around the campfire where you can share some life stories and spend another night stargazing in the middle of nowhere. Day 3: Your day will begin with some time to embrace the natural scenery as you enjoy your coffee/tea next to the Baltic Sea. When you’re ready, you can get your equipment together and pack your kayak. On the way back to the kayak station, the route goes along an alternative path which features different islands and new scenery to discover. Before heading back to town you will unpack the kayak and all the equipment whilst reminiscing over your 3 days out in nature.

Stockholm: 2-Day Archipelago Kayaking and Camping

3. Stockholm: 2-Day Archipelago Kayaking and Camping

Day 1: You will begin by traveling for 45-60 minutes to the Central Archipelago. From there the departure point and route will be adjusted to weather conditions as well as the experience of the level of the group. Before the tour starts, all camping equipment, food, and water will need to be packed in the correct manner, following which you will receive advanced safety instructions and paddling techniques. The group will then leave the kayak station at around 10:30AM, assuming an easy paddling speed so that everyone can get used to their kayak. Following approximately 2 hours of paddling it will be time for your first lunch break on a small, secluded island which could have a beach and the opportunity to swim. You will stop for about 1.5 hours and prepare lunch on an open fire, after which the tour continues paddling for about 2 hours. On the way you will see bird life and stunning natural scenery, before taking a second break accompanied by some snacks to keep your energy levels up. When you’re ready, you’ll finish the last paddle for the day whilst looking out for the perfect wild camping location somewhere along the shoreline. From there you can enjoy the sunset and spend the evening next to the fire, a perfect ending of the day. Day 2: The following morning, breakfast will be ready at around 8:00AM. You can enjoy your breakfast whilst taking in some stunning views of the ocean, after which it will be time to pack the equipment and get back into your kayak. The morning usually offers the best kayaking conditions, throughout which your paddling will make you feel like you are kayaking on a giant lake. After around 2–3 hours of kayaking you will prepare lunch before taking a small hike to receive some stunning views of the area. Following that, prepare yourself for the final 2 hours of kayaking between the small islands. Your tour will then end at around 3:00PM, at which point you will travel back into town where you will arrive by approximately 5:00PM.

The ever changing environment never seems to bore. On the way we meet swans, white tailed eagles and more curious birds. We pick any island for lunch and do the same in the evening if it's a three day kayak tour. We can fish, swim, nap or just hang around camp before hitting the sheets (or sleeping bags) once more. Day three: The 3-day trip means that we spend the 2nd day completely outdoors, something you don't experience on the 2-day trip: no transfers, meeting points, restaurant meals or hotels. Instead we wake up & go to sleep by the sound of the sea. We enjoy all of our meals in nature using different outdoor cooking techniques. Of course, we don't paddle the same way back but explore new areas instead, returning to the starting point from a different direction. Once we've unpacked our belongings we drop you off in Stockholm, and leave you with memories for a lifetime.
