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 EN double kayaking with my 7 year DE son. EN 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.

Amazing day kayaking the Stockholm Archipelago… - Amazing full day trip kayaking. Small group of just 3 people (me and my son) plus one other person and then our guide. Our guide Marcus was brilliant, incredibly knowledgable and as well as guiding us around parts of the archipelago, took us to some lovely islands and even shared some bushcraft techniques with us. The beach bbq was great and we enjoyed getting involved. Thanks so much- we loved our day out.

A beautiful day - It was a beautiful day. Our guide Marietta has been enchanting. The selected tour gave us a great insight into the archipelago. We were super briefed, lunch was delicious and there was also an excursion to the Swedish flora and fauna. A recommended excursion!

A lovely experience - A brilliant way of seeing the beautiful islands and countryside. It was a unique experience and one we won’t forget. Our guide Marcus was attentive and lead the group excellently. We had a delicious light lunch cooked for us. The transport to the departure point with the kayaks was good. Guests should remember to take their own water though. I would also stress that you should only undertake this trip though if you are fit and physically capable. It was strenuous and a long paddle. We clocked up nearly 14km. You should also be confident with paddling in deep water, with wave conditions. I’d never properly kayaked before, until today and was fine. But did feel uncomfortable at points when the wind and waves got up. Overall, a great way to see the beautiful archipelago and do something memorable. I would recommend it to others

Awesome experience out on the water - The team provided an amazing experience that started from the initial booking and continued throughout the tour. The location was breathtakingly beautiful and we had a great time out on the water. Our guide was absolutely amazing the entire time providing support and showing us some awesome views. It was quite an adventure and I hope to come back some time and do it again.

Fantastic day kayaking the archipelago - Marcus was the best guide, taking time to instruct us on kayaking techniques and safety tips. He led us through so many beautiful islands explaining the uniqueness as we went. Our lunch stop and island explorations were perfectly timed for breaks. This was a true highlight of our trip to Stockholm and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the area up close and at a slower pace.

Good day just to be outside - Was a beautiful day to kayak, just a day to be on the water and outdoors. Loved being able to climb and play on a few of the islands. Not really much to learn and we like hearing more about the area. Hard to do on a kayak tour. We enjoyed the time and when we did get a chance to talk to our guide he was very kind. 4 stars we had a van that was kind of trashed, parking break issues, tires, ac did not work, windows sticky and dirty. For the price just expected a little better experience we have done many kayak/ outdoor tours this was a first of having to clean up everything. We did not mind helping just again for the cost it was lacking .
