Description

Enjoy Stockholm Archipelago in the glow of the sunset light. Perfect and relaxing activity for the end of the day! The Sunset Kayak Tour in Stockholm Archipelago is truly a spectacular experience. Take in the serenity of archipelago when the sun goes down – a time when the seas are at their calmest. Immerse yourself in the spectacular natural environment, despite being just 30-minutes from Stockholm. We go kayaking in the nearby waters to enjoy the calm and relaxing evening filled with all the wonderful scents of nature. We will quietly and slowly enjoy surroundings along the way. The pace for these tours is a little slower than our normal 4-hour Archipelago Kayak Tour. We will try to spot native wildlife including beavers, seals, roe deers and coastal birds. Wear outdoor clothes according to the weather: quick-dry hiking pants/shorts, thermal top, a rain jacket and sandals (shoes you don’t mind getting wet). If you wear prescription glasses we also recommend using a strap.

Great experience. Tour...

Great experience. Tour was fairly calm, though we had some wind during our tour. Jacob was an excellent guide. The distance outside of town was a bit more than I expected. But it was a wonderful tour.

Unreal experience

Unreal and incredible experience. The company was very reliable. I booked a group sunset kayak and I was the only person who booked. I was fully expecting to be told the activity would be cancelled but the company persisted with a private guided tour of the archipalego. The weather was incredible the guide Paul was an incredible man. We covered a great amount of distance and passed by many different island. What Paul would usually do in a half day tour we did in a touch over 3 hours given it was just us two. Can't recommend this highly enough. One of the greatest things I've ever done made all the better by an amazing tour guide Paul. Thanks so much!!

We loved Paul our Guide!

We had the best time with our guide Paul!! We came in with kayaking experience, but he was a skilled teacher. We learned some history and saw some wildlife. Learned a lot about beavers. The Fika was a nice treat on the water. 10/10 recommend.

It's a beautiful and...

It's a beautiful and relaxing kayaking experience. It was my first time kayaking, and felt secure with the guidance provided. Our guide Carl was a lot of fun! Highly recommend it if you are looking for an outdoor activity outside of Stockholm.
