Absolute must do in Stockholm! - Had an amazing morning! Emil was fantastic! Kayaking and breaking thin ice in some spots added to the charm of this whole experience. I'll remember for a long time! And it is extremely safe if that's a worry!

Breaking the ice - Wonderful way to see Stockholm from a different angle. We were lucky to have had a beautiful day with clear skies . Cold but the dry suits keep you warm and dry . Breaking ice was an experience and hard work at times but great fun. Emile , our guide was warm and knowledgable . Would really recommend this experience . D&N London

Great option for seeing the sights of Gamla Stan from an alternative perspective - Viewing Gamla Stan from the water gave a great alternative perspective of the main sights. Our guide, Bobby, was really informative and provided clear instructions to help keep us safe on the water. We even had the opportunity to kayak through some ice sheets. Definitely bring waterproof gloves and wrap up warm!

Fabulous way to see... - Fabulous way to see Stockholm, we really enjoyed the tour and Bobby was a great guide telling us a bit about the area. Would definitely recommend it. Only negative thing was there is no toilet or changing room but there is public toilets a few minutes walk away.

Stockholm's heart - Awesome experience cold water kayaking. We even got to break the ice as we paddled out from the jetty. Our guide, Bobby, was really personable and took great care of everyone. Good equipment. The lake it sits on makes Stockholm a most beautiful city, and seeing the city from the lake is ideal.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - read ahead for tips to stay warm! - BRILLIANT - but be ready for the cold! Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Bobbi (spelling?) was wonderful. He told us some interesting and fun facts about Stockholm, he kept us all as safe and warm as possible, and he has a bubbly, fun personality. Be aware - it is COLD. Wear waterproof gloves, take hardwarmers, double up on socks, and bring something to cover your face. It was -2 or -3 when we went and it was COLD. Still greatly enjoyed the day though, do this tour!

11/10 would recommend - Great paddle around the harbor. You get to see Stockholm from such a different angle, and given the city is an Archipelago that's a lot of angles! Also saw a lot of wildlife. Tour guide was knowledgeable and shared some history of the city. If you like a little adventure in your vacations this is the activity for you.
