Max our guide was excellent, we had a cold but beautful blue sky day on the water. Max provided interesting facts about the area and the 'Fika' was a very welcome treat.

Do it! The team and equipment compliment the venue. I can't rate this highly enough. Good value for money and an expert team running the visit. I just wish that I lived close enough to go again soon.

Such a great way to see the archipelago! We really enjoyed the 4 hour tour that also included a yummy fika stop. The equipment was all very good quality. Had never used a spray skirt before which was great for keeping us dry and our guide Iben was just lovely :) definitely the most beautiful surroundings to kayak in

We absolutely loved our experience on the archipelago kayaking tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Iben, was helpful throughout the entire experience, even though we were novice kayakers. Still, we were able to see so much of the various islands and by the end, we felt like expert kayakers with her help. She was sweet, funny, and so helpful throughout the experience. We had wonderful conversations, and we're so glad we made a new friend in Iben! We saw tons of beautiful wildlife and enjoyed the perfect fica on the shoreline. It was inspiring to see so many islands and how people live on the lands in these places. We couldn't imagine experiencing the archipelago any other way.

This area is excellent for Kayaking. It is a bit far from central Stockholm but worth the effort. The actual trip was very well run. Eben was an excellent guide. The equipment is of a high standard and the Fika was lovely. Great trip, highly recommended

Iben was an amazing guide today, we loved our kayak tour. She showed us all sorts of bits we wouldn’t have found on our own and it was great to try some Swedish classics at the fika stop. Almost the whole group braved a swim and the beach we stopped at was lovely. We would happily recommend this to anyone.
