5.00We had a great time doing the city kayak tour today.. Fun memories made. It takes a moment to tune into the paddling and steering with your kayak partner but once we had it there was no stopping us :) Misael is a friendly and patient guide. We’d recommend this for anyone looking to add something a little different to their city break!

5.00Our 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.
Great way to see Stockholm for the first time!

5.00Today proved to be an excellent day to kayak with this company. We had the opportunity to make it around the island and back, due to favourable conditions. Learned much about the city during the tour. It was a great way to see the city from its lakes and rivers!
A wonderful way to explore Stockholm!

5.00The trip was the perfect length of time for our family. My arms were just getting tired when we were done. We had experienced and new people in our group. The guide was so good at helping new people kayak. He paced the trip to match the mixed abilities. We learned a lot and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the water.
