If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable way to experience Stockholm, this is your tour! As the sun sets over the horizon, you paddle along the waters and have the perfect vantage point to take in the stunning views of the city.

This tour is perfect for beginners and novice paddlers, and the experienced kayak guide will provide safety and paddle introductions before departure.

The tour takes you through some of Stockholm's most historic neighbourhoods, including Langholmen, Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Kungsholmen, and Lila Essingen. You'll paddle under charming bridges, past colourful buildings, and through peaceful waterways.

During the tour, we'll take a traditional Swedish Fika break, featuring organic ingredients. It's the perfect time to relax, refuel, and chat with your fellow paddlers.

We use tandem kayaks by default, which are more stable, but single kayaks (previous experience required) are also available upon request.

This tour is a nice combination of interesting facts about land and people and activity. Our guide Bobby gave us a good introduction to kayaking and interesting information about Stockholm . It was a lot of fun , our daughters also exchanged many interesting private things with him , so it was a very relaxed evening . An all-round successful excursion thanks to Bobby , who has made this tour an unforgettable experience due to his great nature.

This was a fantastic way to see Stockholm. Our Guide Bobby, was very knowledgeable and made the tour both interesting and entertaining. We had a little knowledge of kayaks and whilst not essential, I think it did help. Coffee and cinnamon buns in front of a castle in the evening sunshine was excellent and overall, it was fabulous.
A unique perspective of Stockholm with a wonderful guide!

Amazing views and a unique way to see the city! My guide Sofia was extremely welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. Saw lots of wildlife and architecture, and the fika was a lovely break. Kayaks were really good quality and felt extremely safe, even when it was slightly windy and wavy. Would definitely do this tour again when I'm back in Stockholm, it's a beautiful city to Kayak in!
Great trip

Jacob was a great guide. Had a wonderful time kayaking a big loop and seeing much of the area. Fika picnic style out front of the military building with armed guards was pretty cool. Kayaking was easy if worries about that, just make sure you are comfortable climbing in and out and lifting yourself up to a dock.
A memorable way to enjoy a unique view of Stockholm

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.
Very enjoyable afternoon...

Very enjoyable afternoon and change of pace from sightseeing on foot. Learned a lot about the lake, neighborhoods, and city of Stockholm. Bobbi was a great guide and made sure everyone was comfortable and set up well in their kayaks.

We planned our trip to Stockholm about five months in advance, and I had my eye on this adventure from the beginning. It did not disappoint. Our guide Bobbie was so down to earth, knowledgeable, and really made our kayaking experience fun. During our snack time I was able to take a swim in the middle of beautiful Stockholm. What an amazing experience for myself, my twelve year old son, and my husband!
Enjoyable kayaking experience

Nice views, friendly guide, it was fun to have a fika next to the water. We were quite a bit too early to catch the sunset though.
Great kayak, great views, and good value

Hannes was really a very nice guide. He told us a lot of things about Stockholm. The fika was tasty. We did about 15 km with the kayak.
