★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,125 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47

Guided Stockholm archipelago cruise from Strandvägen to Vaxholm with live English narration, blankets, and great water views for photos.

“The boat, captain, and chief guide were excellent. We had expected that the tour would include a stop to visit the archipelago itself. However, the experience was limited to staying on the boat and viewing the many islands around Stockholm from the water. It is likely we did not read the description carefully, which led to different expectations.”

Kayak the Stockholm Archipelago with a guided small-group lesson, Baltic Sea paddling, bird spotting, and Swedish fika plus organic lunch.

“Loved the trip. Patrick was the guide and he was very helpful and patient. I think we kayaked for 12-13 km and had a short hiking trip as well on one of the island. The weather was very good and taking a halt at the sandy beach was a cherry on top. We enjoyed the vegetarian lunch and fika was also very good. It was a great experience overall, would definitely do it again with other friends. P.S: The trivia told by Patrick was also very interesting and thanks for the driving tips :)”
