Sea kayak trips all over the world

Sweden – Stockholm Archipelago

Stockholm Archipelago — Sea Kayaking Trip

For this sea-kayak journey, we invite you to Sweden — to explore the capital and its vast archipelago.

Some say 30,000 islands, others 24,000 — either way, the Stockholm archipelago is huge!
It stretches ~60 km east of the capital and ~120 km north–south: wild nature within paddle reach.

We’ll guide you across waters once ruled by the Vikings:
5 days of point-to-point sea kayaking through a maze of islands and skerries.
Expect beach bivouacs, traditional Swedish saunas, and the magical light of the Nordic summer.
