Join our unforgettable winter kayaking at the heart of Stockholm Archipelago. Escape the big city and enjoy wonderful seaside landscapes, only 40 minutes by bus from Stockholm.
Kayak is the best way to discover unique landscape and explore some of the 30,000 islands. We will meet you in our kayak center on Resarö (it's easy to get here by subway + bus 670 and it will take you about 40 minutes from Stockholm). We will start with short safety briefing and caring kayaks for warming up. After changing clothes for drysuits we are ready to paddle into the wild of archipelago. We leave kayak center behind us and glide along the Resarö coastline towards Vaxholm or Bogesund Nature Reserve, depending on wind direction.
Area around Vaxholm is among the most beautiful places to paddle. Admire amazing swedish nature and local architecture along the way and listen to local stories. Together we will enjoy the fresh, clear air and the view over archipelago that goes in pale tones. Soak up the scenic winter views and feel immersed in the tranquility, despite being just half an hour from Stockholm. During or after the trip we will enjoy swedish fika with warm drinks and something sweet to follow.
Our guides choose where to paddle based on their knowledge of archipelago, weather forecast and the sea conditions. Your guide will offer instruction on how to develop your paddling skills. We use single and double sea kayaks (depending on your experience). Doubles are incredibly stable and are great for beginners or if you just want to share the paddling.

Please let us know in advance about your size (weight, height, shoe size) so we can provide the right equipment for you.
