The right of public access means you can paddle almost anywhere in Sweden and sleep where you land. These 11 trips are the best of them: city paddles past the old town, day tours out into the archipelago, and multi-day wild-camp routes, with skill levels, kit and prices on each.
Small-group Stockholm archipelago kayaking from Dalarö, with campfire lunch, instruction, and wildlife spotting on the Baltic Sea.
“Waves crashing the bow. Going through narrow channels between islands. Having boar sausages. Great guide: very helpful in keeping everybody safe and telling stories”
Small-group sea kayaking in Stockholm past Stadshuset and Gamla Stan canals, with winter drysuits and a warm food break included.
“This was one of my favorite parts of my trip to Stockholm! I had kayaked before but never in kayaks with rudders, and this made it easier I think as well as more fun and adventurous as we kayaked in waters with other big boats. This was a fantastic way to see the city form a unique vantage point and have an active adventure at the same time. My guide Phil was also excellent, and she made the kayaking feel safe and fun while also engaging in with us about our personal stories and questions about the city. I would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Stockholm.”

“My girlfriend and I went on this tour - we did a lot of tours of the city and this was the most fun, and really informative and beautiful. Really can't recommend it highly enough if you're looking for a memorable experience. The guide is a total dude too.”
Winter sea kayaking from Stockholm’s archipelago, then Swedish fika and a hot sauna with a Baltic plunge. Small-group, beginner-friendly.
“Experience was everything I hoped for, and our guide was great! If you are scared to go solo, or afraid because it is your first time kayaking, definitely go.”

“The kayaking, fika and the guide were awesome! Thank you!”
Sea kayak Sweden’s Stockholm Archipelago from central pickup, with small groups, Baltic paddling, Swedish fika, and an organic island lunch.
“Loved the trip. Patrick was the guide and he was very helpful and patient. I think we kayaked for 12-13 km and had a short hiking trip as well on one of the island. The weather was very good and taking a halt at the sandy beach was a cherry on top. We enjoyed the vegetarian lunch and fika was also very good. It was a great experience overall, would definitely do it again with other friends. P.S: The trivia told by Patrick was also very interesting and thanks for the driving tips :)”
