Join us for an unforgettable kayak exploration of the archipelago! Trade in the hustle and bustle of the city for the striking oceanic scenery that’s just a half hour drive away from Stockholm. A winter kayak journey around Vaxholm will become an enchanting memory. Often referred to as the heart of the archipelago, Vaxholm’s beauty is best experienced on a kayak. Paddle touring is accessible almost year-round, and while summer is bustling, the fall and winter offer the privilege of solitary appreciation.

Vaxholm’s surroundings provide some of the most breathtaking kayaking locations. Absorb the extraordinary Swedish wildlife and distinct local architecture while learning about regional tales. Relish the crisp, pure air and the pastel-hued panorama of the archipelago while breaking the silence occasionally with the dip of your paddle. Even though you’re only half an hour from Stockholm, you’ll easily lose yourself in the serene winter landscapes. We ensure you’re prepared with provided drysuits and warm beverages during the kayak tour.
