If you love food and kayaking - this is the trip for you! - This was such a fun experience, perfect combination of kayaking and amazing food! We were so lucky with the weather for the most part. On the days we paddled we have beautiful skies and almost no wind. Rob our kayaking guide/chef was super helpful with everything (especially for me since I didn’t pack warm enough gear). Our fearless chef Helena taught us and also prepared ridiculous meals that were impressive in a kitchen, let alone over a fire fit. We had a great combination of people and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone that enjoys food and like a little kayaking. It was very helpful to have a base camp and just go out to expeditions around the archipelago

Amazing food and fabulous kayaking - The Culinary Experience trip was everything I'd hoped it would be: lovely paddling in the archipelago, some interesting learning about foraging for edible plants on the islands, and *spectacular* food. Do the North made the logistics really simple, and Rob and Helena took excellent care of our group throughout the trip, setting a laid-back vibe while engaging us in taking on the work required to set up camp and make fantastic meals for our group. Every meal was absolutely incredible. A trip worth travelling from Canada for!

Out of this world - The most amazing trip for Foodies especially if you like foraging and a bit of wild adventure. Can’t say more as don’t want too many people to know about it! Thanks to Rob who was an amazing guide and whittling tutor and Helena whose culinary expertise and picture perfect camp kitchen will be an abiding memory.

Loved it! - I absolutely loved this holiday, it was just the perfect blend of exploring, activity, learning, unwinding and meeting new people. Helena and Thomas were incredibly welcoming and relaxed, and we had a fabulous group too. Everyone pitched in to help wherever we could and that made it such an enjoyable experience. Being so immersed in nature was great, and it was really fun to learn some great outdoor cooking skills and try some new ingredients. Highly recommend!!

birthday celebrations - My husband and I and our 2 adult daughters had a fabulous time. We travelled easily to Norrköping by train from Stockholm and were picked up at the train station by Do the North. Tomas, our kayaking guide, got us oriented to the equipment and we were off. On arrival at our base camp island, I was impressed by the table they had made for us of birch boughs, and the first class new tent, pads etc. Helena, our chef, put us to work- and we made some jam, and pickles of plants we had harvested. Helena is so talented and we learned so much about Swedish cuisine over the next several days, amplified by the foraging. I unfortunately hurt my wrist during the trip( my own fault in a slip and fall) and Tomas fashioned a splint out of birch that worked very well. Then at the end they arranged for a water taxi to pick me up while everyone else kayaked back. The beauty and tranquility of the archipelago is stunning and despite my personal bad luck this was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had.

Magnificent wilderness - We had a wonderful time under the guidance of Thomas, our wilderness guide, and the care of Helena, our chef. The camping on an uninhabited island was delightful in nice tents on comfortable mattresses. The kayaking was beautiful and the foraging great fun. We had a wonderful time cooking our meals together. The entire trip was well-thought out and prepared by the team, and our every wish was looked after. The archipelago is stunningly beautiful. Our group was great.

Delicious found and beautiful nature - Would recommend this trip. A lot of thought and love was put into it, and it was well noticeable. The kayaking was enjoyable, and our guide explained everything clearly. The saint archipelago is absolutely stunning, so had a great time setting up camp on the different islands. The gear we were provided with was of absolutely top notch quality. And last but not least, the food was awesome! Helena is an amazing cook, she whipped up so many delicious dishes on the campfire, even when it was raining for 36 hours straight. I really enjoyed that so many things were home made or locally sourced. Very great experience.
