A delightfully relaxing and regenerative experience - I enjoyed a delightful, relaxing day with Daniel. A short drive through forest and farmland to see rural, coastal living. The kayaks, equipment and launch site was excellent. Daniel was a great guide, going at my slow pace, allowing discussion and answering all my questions along the way, soaking up the headland and island points. Lunch was delicious, cooked on a small island that I learned later was richer in plant life than on first glance. Highly recommend.

Amazing Experience - This is the best thing I did while visiting Stockholm. It was an amazing experience and our guide, Marcus, was awesome. Really great guy that is highly knowledgeable about the archipelago and the plants and animals there. It is such a beautiful place. Really incredible day. I would highly recommend!

Enjoyable day paddling - Very well done tour and caring guide. It’s a nice day out, only 30 mins drive from Stockholm, but the day on the water paddling among the islands feels remote. Great tour company too.

Best Tour in Stockholm - Marcus was a brilliant guide. This was the best thing I did while in Stockholm. The day out kayaking was a lovely variety of sun and storm. We stopped by at a couple of islands. Marcus gave us great knowledge on the plant life as we walked around the islands. I was able to sample wild lingon berries, juniper berries, bilberries, chives, spruce sprouts, St. John’s wort, etc. The lunch we had was fantastic, and we all enjoyed a great conversation. By the end of the day, I think the entire group had a brilliant time. 11/10 would tour the area again. Marcus was the best! Next time, I come to Sweden, I’ll be booking a tour with these guys again.

Excellent experience and guide - Our experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide Marietta was deeply knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and a good leader of new kayakers. I recommend this experience to anyone!

Great way to spend the day! - Marcus is the man! Couldn't have asked for better weather. The scenery was just gorgeous. Loved having a small group (there were 5 of us plus Marcus). The original group got split up into brand new kayakers and folks that have done it before; much appreciated to do this. Also very fun to try out a kayak with a rudder/pedals before, that was new! My only suggestion is to double-check that the lunch will work for everyone. There was someone in my group that couldn't eat lunch because of a dietary restriction. She said she wrote a note about it, but not sure where that note lived/got passed on to, but maybe checking while we're all in the shop before we hit the road. Otherwise, this was an awesome experience all around. Loved getting out of Stockholm and onto the water.

Great tour and guides - What a fun way to see the archipelago! The scenes was stunning and the small group nature really enhanced the experience. Our guides Marcus and Jonathan were spectacular!! They were knowledgeable about kayaking and the natural environment we were seeing. I had so much fun chatting with Marcus about all things Sweden, and even science and smartwatches! This was a fun and truly memorable experience!!

Great experience. Must-see - Amazing views, accessible to all. We were in a double kayak with my 7-year-old son. Bonus: bathing in the sea, visiting a deserted islet and Swedish fika. I recommend.

Great kayak trip in good company under the Swedish sun - Great day with two girls solo and a young man. Beautiful weather, waveless water, “ideal for beginners” according to our guide who was very friendly. After a short briefing, very informative, we began our journey. The archipelagos are beautiful, we stopped on a small desert island to eat a good meal: apple juice, salmon pie or spinach pie (food restriction), a small salad and cherry tomatoes. For dessert a cocoa/coffee/tea with chocolate balls and coconut. 🍽️ 👍 We laughed a lot getting to know each other and the thread of discussions (Watch out for killer mooses and sucba diving!!! 😂😂) I recommend this activity to those who want to combine day discovery nature and a little physical effort. However, remember to take sunscreen, the sun and its reverberation in the water can quickly make you sunburn.

Kayaking adventure in archipelago - I found the guide quite limited in his thinking, as he kept assuming I was a beginner kayaker based on my gender and made several comments about it (I grew up with kayaking and did a recent multi day trip in Norway). However, once we got going it was a good laugh and varied experience, which actually felt quite wild, given it was a one day experience.
