Our reviews

Answers to common questions

We run the Sunset Stockholm Archipelago Tour only during summer when the weather is generally pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 28°C. However, since we are paddling in the open ocean, conditions can vary. It is possible to encounter both wind and rain during the trip.

To ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we strongly recommend checking the local weather forecast close to your tour date. Please bring appropriate clothing based on the forecast. Preparing for the weather will help you fully enjoy the beauty and excitement of ocean kayaking with us.

Below is our recommended packing list for your Sunset Stockholm Archipelago Tour, which should be adjusted based on the actual weather forecast (activity date) and your personal preferences.

PADDLING CLOTHING

  • Swim Trunks / Shorts – Long-sleeve Top / T-Shirt
  • Waterproof-Rain Jacket – Baseball Cap
  • Water shoes or sandals (recommended)
  • Gloves: Bicycling or kayak gloves (recommended) PERSONAL ITEMS
  • Insect Repellent – Sunscreen, UV Lip Balm
  • Toiletries – Small Towel (microlaser)
  • Reusable water bottles, please think eco-friendly!

Remember to check the weather before you pack and adjust your clothing accordingly.

Please note that you will step into the ocean during the Stockholm Archipelago Tour, while entering and exiting the kayak. We recommend some kind of sandals or water shoes, as it can get slippery. There are many cheap options in stores like XXL or Decathlon available. However, don’t feel the need to buy water shoes just for this experience if you don’t plan to use them again. Our kayaking adventure works just fine without water shoes as well!

We have no dedicated storage space for larger luggage (suitcases e.g. ). However, you can take smaller backpacks (daypacks) directly with you into the kayak (dry compartment). Otherwise, we recommend using one of the dedicated luggage box providers in Stockholm.

The Sunset Stockholm Archipelago Tour covers approximately 8-10 km, making it a light to medium-light sport activity. Almost all of our customers have no trouble with the distance and required fitness, as we maintain a slow pace compared to other companies that rush a similar distance in just two hours. Therefore, there’s nothing to worry about when booking with us.

You just need to be in normal health and bring the right mindset. Our guides will assist you along the way, but individual help depends on the final group size on the day. We always ensure that everyone gets the best possible experience and even tow other kayaks if there are any problems.

However, for some customers, it can be a demanding exercise that they will feel in their arms after the activity. At the end of the day, it also depends on the weather conditions, such as wind.

The likelihood of tipping over during any Stockholm Archipelago Tour is very low. Our kayaks are designed to be stable and suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers, and the calm waters of our route further minimize the risk.

We provide a thorough briefing before the trip, covering essential paddling techniques and safety measures. Our guides are also on hand to assist and ensure everyone feels confident and secure throughout the journey. While it’s natural to have some concerns, rest assured that tipping over is a rare occurrence. Should it happen, our guides are trained to handle such situations quickly and effectively, ensuring your safety at all times.

Double kayaks rarely tip over; it’s more likely to happen in single kayaks. Therefore, if you’re not an experienced kayaker, please choose a double kayak during the booking process.

We primarily explore the central part of the Stockholm Archipelago during our Stockholm Archipelago Tour. Our starting points are flexible, adjusted based on wind and weather conditions to ensure optimal safety and the best possible experience for all participants. The vast number of islands in the archipelago offers numerous opportunities for encounters and exploration. Depending on the day’s conditions, we carefully select the most scenic and suitable routes, ensuring each kayaking trip is unique. For those interested in extended adventures.

You can bring your kids on our Stockholm Archipelago Tours! We welcome families and ensure that our activities are safe and enjoyable for all ages. For public tours, we require a minimum age of 12 years. If you have younger children (minimum 6 years), please contact us before booking so we can ensure we have suitable equipment available. Children over 12y can join the trip as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

We recommend double kayaks for families with young children, as they provide extra stability and allow an adult to paddle with a child. Our guides will provide special instructions and assistance to ensure your family’s safety and enjoyment throughout the journey. Life jackets are available in various sizes to fit both adults and children, and we take extra care to make sure everyone is comfortable and secure. For a more private experience, you can also book your guide with our private tours.
