Total escape from the city

The archipelago is formed of about 30 000 islands located in the serenity of the Baltic Sea. Islands used to be the spots for farmers’ and fishermen's shelters and trading outpost during the Viking period. The surface of the water is overhung by those domes made of rocks and trees often uninhabited, giving the region its uniqueness.

Far from the city and far from everything, this natural maze offers an unexpected contrast for whom is coming to visit Stockholm for a long weekend, or a few days. Join the adventure that would bring you another impression of Sweden.

The "Island hopping"

Day 1: In the morning we’ll meet at the office south of Stockholm and together go to Dalarö, a charming little village, from where we’ll begin paddling with our kayaks. After a safety briefing, we’ll begin paddling between different islands that are so many around us. At lunch we’ll stop on one of those deserted islands and prepare a nice lunch cooked on wooden fire. We’ll then take time to rest, with only companion of the swell of the Baltic Sea and the singing birds. By the end of the afternoon and after having spent good time at sea, we will decide a spot where to settle our camp for the night. Why not enjoy one of those long Swedish sun sets around a fire which will comfort this great exploration day. During that time your guide will concoct you a well deserved meal.

If the weather is on our side, we might paddle till the island of Kaston, a nature reserve quite particular because it’s a seal nesting area. Who knows, we might spot one of them popping his head out of the water. We will therefore have all chances to observe them.

Day 2: The next morning, the adventure will resume but not before having a breakfast and a coffee to start the day. We’ll then pack our stuff and get back on the waves for a new challenging day on direction towards Dalarö; our starting point. We’ll go around other islands and get the opportunity to see other fantastic things from the part of the archipelago that is probably one of the nicest and wildest. We’ll also be searching for an island to settle and have our lunch to get the energy for the rest of the day and feel the immensity of this beautiful area while drinking our coffees.

It’d also be magical to see a sea eagle circling around the islands, looking for the ideal prey. Maybe one of those numerous migratory birds like different types of goose or the famous great cormorant flying over the horizon to the direction up north. We will finish the trip at the end of the afternoon. Once arriving at the peer, we will tidy up our kayaks and get ready to return to Stockholm, with full of amazing impressions and unforgettable memories.
