Itinerary

Day 1: Introduction to Stockholm archipelago and kayaking

We will pick you up at a central location in Stockholm city for a 45 minute transfer out to our Kayak Center. You will be welcomed by our certified wilderness and kayak guides who will be giving you the thorough briefing before you set out on your trip. With some Swedish Fika (beverage+snack) you sit down together with the guides to talk about the archipelago, the kayaks and equipment, kayak safety, weather and navigation. With our map, the kayak trail routes and the GPS on your phone it’s easy to navigate. Together with the guides you decide on a suitable route depending on the weather and your preferences. The guides help you pack the kayaks and there is plenty of time to ask all your questions. The guides will also be available 24/7 via the Kayak Trail Guide Phone throughout your journey.

Day 2: A day in Bullerö Nature reserve

After a nice morning with breakfast and perhaps a morning swim (a “Swedish classic”), you sit together and plan the route. Depending on the weather forecast, this might be the day to go out to Bullerö Nature Reserve. Bullerö is an archipelago classic, with plenty of bird life, a typical archipelago nature and rich in culture and history. Here, people have been living of what nature has had to offer since the end of the 1600’s. Stay here and linger for half-a-day-or-so, go on a short discovery hike or visit the hunting lodge of Bruno Liljefors, where art from famous Swedish artists Anders Zorn, Axel Sjöberg and Albert Engström from the early 1900’s is on display. Finish the day with a sauna session in the cosy public sauna.

Day 3: Discovery day!

Take this day to discover some more! Here are some of our favourites: Långviksskärs Nature reserve is a maze of some hundreds of islands far out to the east with the horizon as it’s only neighbor. With the right weather conditons you might be able to go out and visit the beautiful island of Tärnskär, a well-kept secret with its lovely laguna. The island of Nämdö is a rather large island just south of Runmarö with a lot of activity during summertime. Visit the restaurant in Solvik, show for snacks or have a swedish fika at the café. The watch tower on the northern part of the island is popular, as is the public sauna in Långvik. The Lazy day is a very underrated alternative in this world of speed, tight schedules and constant demands to deliver. Dare to go against the stream and plan a day of.. nothing! Sleep in, discover the island you are currently on, or just chill on the cliffs with a good book. It is when you cut yourself some slack that the famous “quality time” happens.

Day 4: Heading back to civilization

Another beautiful morning out on the islands. You have a different feeling in your body after some days kayaking. Calm and focused in your mind and a bit tired in the muscles from the kayaking and hikes on the island. During the day kayaking, you stop for a long lunch on an island, and for an afternoon swim and a cup of coffee. In the late afternoon you arrive back at the Kayak Center.
