“Our guide was amazing! His instructions were clear and delivered with a sense of humor. He stopped along the way to tell us tales of Stockholm history. Not dry mind you…did anyone know Absolute Vodka was started in Stockholm….we traveled on waterways that wooden boats from the 1920’s were moored at. We even saw lots of wedding parties around the City Hall. Set up a tour and find out why.”

Paddle through central Stockholm at sunset, learn city stories, and enjoy organic Swedish fika on a small-group kayak tour.
“I can’t imagine a better way to enjoy Stockholm at sunset. On a personal note, my tour guide went out of her way to help me figure out what to do after I got too self-confident about taking a couple photos, at which point I lost my balance, flipped my kayak, and lost my phone in the process. She couldn’t have been more empathetic throughout the situation, and I’m indebted to her for her time and kindness as a result. I recommend booking this one not only because of how unique the experience is but because it’s a business clearly run by good people.”
