Had an amazing morning! Emil was fantastic! Kayaking and breaking thin ice in some spots added to the charm of this whole experience. I'll remember for a long time! And it is extremely safe if that's a worry!

Itinerary
We’ll start by meeting at the kayak station, where you’ll get to know your fellow paddlers. After that, we’ll help you choose a dry suit to keep you warm and dry. Once suited up, we’ll set up the kayaks and go through a paddle and safety briefing to ensure you’re comfortable on the water.
Now, it’s time to paddle through Stockholm’s beautiful city center, enjoying stunning views and peaceful waters, often all to ourselves. We use stable tandem kayaks by default, but single kayaks are available on request for experienced paddlers. The tour takes you through historic neighborhoods like Kungsholmen, Långholmen, Södermalm, Gamla Stan, and Lilla Essingen. You’ll paddle under charming bridges and along serene waterways. Our experienced guide will share insights into Stockholm’s history and culture, as well as tips on the best spots for photos and sightseeing.

This was a great trip with a lot of great views. The Guide Bobby did a good job and we have been able to improve our kajaking-skills.
Wonderful way to see Stockholm from a different angle. We were lucky to have had a beautiful day with clear skies . Cold but the dry suits keep you warm and dry . Breaking ice was an experience and hard work at times but great fun. Emile , our guide was warm and knowledgable . Would really recommend this experience . D&N London
Viewing Gamla Stan from the water gave a great alternative perspective of the main sights. Our guide, Bobby, was really informative and provided clear instructions to help keep us safe on the water. We even had the opportunity to kayak through some ice sheets. Definitely bring waterproof gloves and wrap up warm!
Bobby the tour guide was great! Knowledgeable and good guy to talk to. Ensured a safe expedience for all.
Fabulous way to see Stockholm, we really enjoyed the tour and Bobby was a great guide telling us a bit about the area. Would definitely recommend it. Only negative thing was there is no toilet or changing room but there is public toilets a few minutes walk away.
Awesome experience cold water kayaking. We even got to break the ice as we paddled out from the jetty. Our guide, Bobby, was really personable and took great care of everyone. Good equipment. The lake it sits on makes Stockholm a most beautiful city, and seeing the city from the lake is ideal.
BRILLIANT - but be ready for the cold! Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Bobbi (spelling?) was wonderful. He told us some interesting and fun facts about Stockholm, he kept us all as safe and warm as possible, and he has a bubbly, fun personality. Be aware - it is COLD. Wear waterproof gloves, take hardwarmers, double up on socks, and bring something to cover your face. It was -2 or -3 when we went and it was COLD. Still greatly enjoyed the day though, do this tour!
Great paddle around the harbor. You get to see Stockholm from such a different angle, and given the city is an Archipelago that's a lot of angles! Also saw a lot of wildlife. Tour guide was knowledgeable and shared some history of the city. If you like a little adventure in your vacations this is the activity for you.
Our winter kayaking tour was exceptional- beautiful sunshine and freshly laid snow! Bobby was such a warm, friendly guide who expertly navigated us through our tour of Stockholm by water.
Great morning with our guide Bobby. A really nice way to see Stockholm at the start of our holiday. Dry suits were amazingly quite comfortable! We would definitely recommend this tour.
This group is fantastic. From beginning to end, this was an enjoyable experience for all of us. The equipment was first-rate, and our guide Emile (sp?) was both knowledgeable and fun. Do this, with this company, when in Stockholm.
Very friendly, and we really enjoyed our time. we highly recommend the service. You can really tell it's something he really enjoys doing, making the experience that much better.
Seeing Stockholm from the water was awesome and totally different perspective than what we’d seen the days prior. Bobby was great and super friendly, would also recommend adding the sauna to the tour as after 3 hours of kayak and quick cold dip and hot sauna was a nice way to finish off. Highly recommend
This trip was so much fun and the sauna was a definite must. It was a great way to start the New Year out right and a great workout too! My friends and I had a blast, I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area looking for an alternative way to see Stockholm (:
Such a wonderful experience! The guide was very experienced and taught us a lot. Thanks a lot of the great day.
It was a dream come true to come to Sweden and paddle a canoe. I was also pleased to be able to see the city hall that I visited the day before from the water. There were three of us, including the young people in the tandem, and although I was old and lagging behind, we enjoyed ourselves at our own pace. The experience will be the best memory!!
Good morning, The speaker was really very friendly and listened to us, wanting to do the best he could. The problem is that there are no toilets, including for those who do the sauna afterwards. The practice was very pleasant but not all the paths were passable, we were not able to go around certain islands. Finally, the speaker did not send us the photos he took of us, which is a shame (even though he must have our email address?). Otherwise it remains a great experience.
