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 give you a 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 our guide phone throughout your journey.

Time for take-off! In stable two-person kayaks you will venture out with the wind in your hair. Soon seabirds and waves are the only sounds you hear while you leave the mainland behind and kayak eastward towards the myriad of small uninhabited islands further out in the archipelago. You pass by Runmarö, an island first mentioned in Swedish history in the 13th century for the limestone that was mined here. Many of Stockholms oldest buildings, including parts of Riddarholm Church, are made from Runmarö Limestone.

In the afternoon, you look for the perfect campsite for the night among the many small islets and soon find a place you like. The tent and other equipment is easy to get up, and soon you are ready for the night. Time for a refreshing swim before it is dinner time. Using the equipment and the pre-set food menus, you cook a nice meal on the outdoor stove. Food tastes fantastic when you eat in nature. Let the waves and wind put you to sleep.
