    Wow. Such an AMAZING experience. Went for a 3 hours kayaking in march, this was my favourite activity in Stockholm even if weather conditions were rough ! On that day temperatures were -2 celsius, but with the winter gear provided by the team, we didn’t feel cold at all. We were lucky enough to discover the area under big snowflakes, everybody in our 10 people group was delighted. The area is very quiet and preserved, perfect if you like nature. I particularly enjoyed our guide Andy which is such a funny and nice person, he shared his knowledge about the swedish culture with us (himself being a foreigner). It shows Andy is truly passionate about kayaking. I cannot wait to come back !

    Awesome kayak tour with a great guide and a good Fika! I definitely recommed the half-day tour (4,5 hrs incl. Fika).

    The winter kayaking experience was a great way to explore the archipelago. Milena and Andy are super nice and Andy was a great guide during the whole experience, giving us many information regarding the archipelago and swedish culture. We liked the place so much that came back to the same place for the sauna. Highly recommended!

    Brilliantly run place with a thoughtful and caring guide and up to date kayak kit. The provided 'fika' was good too! The facilities there could do with some updating but I definitely enjoyed my day there in a double kayak with my partner.

    We did the Archipelago Island Tour. Really phenomenal guide and a lovely trip along the islands. Was provided with lunch and a little bit of info on what we were passing. Even though it was a rainy summer day, it never got too cold and they were super helpful in lending proper warm fleeces and raincoats. Very beginner friendly with helpful tips but never too invasive, you really had control of your own kayaking with a simple guide along where we were going. 6/5 stars

    We had a wonderful time kayaking around the archipelago - everyone at the centre was very friendly and helpful. Some of our group were less experienced than others and they made sure we all felt confident and had a great time. They also provided some extra warm layers for one of us who really feels the cold. Gear was great and everything in perfect condition. Our guide was excellent - very experienced and he knew lots about the local area. We especially loved viewing some nesting birds amongst the reeds. He took us to a beautiful island for coffee, fruit and a slice of cake. We lucked out with the weather and even went for a quick swim at the end. All in all a fantastic trip and a perfect way to see more of Sweden.

    This Kayak center is simply the best I ever been. You can get there by bus (670) from Stockholm (takes 45 min). My girlfriend and I recently rented a double Kayak for 1 full day and enjoyed a beautiful excursion in the archipelago. Kayaks and equipment are of excellent quality and well maintained. The staff is friendly and will give you a lot of technical tips (wind speed, position, insulation etc…) as well as about the best places to visit. They offered us cookies and tea, before and after the excursion. We paid 800 SEK that is more or less £66 for 1 full day that is more than fair considering the quality of this service. Would love to go back!

    Absolutely wonderful trip! The owners were so helpful in planning our trip and offering advice as to what was important to bring. We did a 3 night kayaking tour and camped on several islands. Must-do activity if you are outdoorsy. Life changing experience!

    Great kayaking trip with our guide Ruben. He was very friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable in our kayaks. We did a large loop around the island of Kullö, including seeing Vaxholm Castle and going into a nature preserve for a rest and coffee/cake. The weather was sunny and very windy, and it ended up raining near the end of our trip but it was still fun! I’d recommend a bit of paddling experience for this, but if not, your guide is more than happy to help you if you ask! Easy to get to via Bus 670 from Stockholm too!

    Great experience! We got good and accurate advice to make the best of our three days canoe trip despite the bad weather announced (wind and rain). Beautiful landscapes and lots of islands to discover. I would definitely come back here for another kanut tour in Stockholm’s archipel. Easy access by bus from Stockholm.

    I highly recommend the Kayak/Canoe/SUP business and facility. The location is absolutely stunning and the team are a breeze to work and communicate with. Great value for the overall experience.

    We had a wonderful kayak tour with friendly and knowledgeable guides. The tour was very well organized and the fika (coffee and snacks) was great. Public transportation from Stockholm was easy to use. I highly recommend this company and would book them again.

    I really loved this trip. The guides were very informative and helpful and new some very fun facts. The archipelago is a beautiful region and exploring it by kayak was the best decision. We also stopped on an island beach to have a typical Swedish fikka. Definitely recommend!

    Had a great kayaking trip on the archipelago! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, she adjusted the route according to the weather to make sure we were safe and comfortable. The material rented out is excellent and rain jackets were offered to those who didn't bring them. The sauna after the tour was great, especially since we ended in the rain. Would recommend and go back any time!

    We did a short kayak route (1h30), swimming and then sauna and then swimming and sauna and repeat until forever. It was amazing. The highlight is however how nice and helpful the staff is. They recommended which route to take, where to get some food and accommodated our last minute arrival even for the sauna. Highly recommend if you are in Stockholm.
