“This was an amazing winter tour! Especially the tour guide Kristoffer was brilliant - we learned a lot ans really enjoyed our trip :-)”
Winter kayaking in Stockholm’s archipelago, finished with Swedish fika and a wood-burning sauna, plus optional Baltic polar plunge.

Winter sea kayaking near Stockholm with dry suits, Swedish fika, and a hot sauna, plus a Baltic cold plunge.
“We had a fantastic time on our tour. The water was pretty icy, but they were able to make a path for us through the ice so we could still go out and have a fun and unique experience. Our guide, Sam, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable through it all. Fika and the sauna were lovely ways to close out the day. We loved our experience!!”
Winter kayak tour in central Stockholm. Glide under bridges in included dry suits, see City Hall, Kungsholmen, and Södermalm.
“Winter kayaking with Bobby was great fun! The sun shone, it was wind-free, and we even got to break ice at some points, gliding through the water…this was sooooo satisfying. It was just my friend and I on this session and although we’d both kayaked before, it seems we’ve been doing it wrong for years!!…we struggled with manoeuvring in a straight line initially! So I’d say that although the guidance is ‘no experience required’, if we were with others in the group we might have held them back, or vice versa. Also, the two-seat kayak is really heavy to carry from storage to the shore, so just to pre-warn you.…”
Snowshoe winter hike from Stockholm with a small English-speaking guide, snowshoes or ice cleats, possible frozen-lake crossing, fika and lunch.
“It’s one of those once in a life time experiences. I really enjoyed the hike, despite being tired. We also walked on two lakes, which was very scary but our guide managed to help all of us and even take pictures and videos while we do so. The soup we had was very delicious as well!”
Paddle Stockholm in winter city waters with a dry suit, spray skirt, and guide, plus a small-group route past classic neighborhoods.
“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”
